Saturday

In this workout you spend one minute at each of five stations, resulting in a a five-minute round after which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for three rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of ‘rotate,’ the athletes must move to the next station immediately. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower, where each calorie is one point. The stations are:

1. Wall-ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
2. Sumo deadlift high-pull (Reps)
3. Box jump (Reps)
4. Push-press (Reps)
5. Row (Calories)

Freddy set the gym record last week with a 420 lb deadlift.  Great work!  Pull those shoulders back, Freddy!  Since starting CrossFit, Freddy has lost 10# but gotten stronger.  How is that?

We walk the line between intensity and form.  Can you have 100% intensity and 100% correct form?  Should you sacrifice intensity for form or vice versa?  Does it matter what stage of fitness you are in?   No harm, no foul?

Is CrossFit intimidating?  We hear about a lot of friends who are scared to start.  We've personally trained athletes in their 60's and 70's here at North Scottsdale CrossFit (No injuries, no casualties!).  Are we doing a poor job of explaining the concept of scaling?  Or does the intensity expectation (eventually) scare too much?   What do you think?  Is CrossFit too hard?
