Congratulations on a great job to the 2 RX teams competing at the CF Solano Summer Slam on Saturday.
CFES 1: Larry, Matt B., Denise, and Amber
CFES 2: Matt P., Harlan, Cherie, and Rae
Both teams had a blast and finished 16th and 18th respectively out of 28 teams. Full results here.
Some highlights: CFES 2 battled back from a last place finish in the mile relay with a notable 8th place finish in WOD 4 from Matt P and Cherie on a 21-15-9 heavy kettlebell, wallball, and C2B workout. CFES 1 saw a 7th place finish from Larry and Amber in the same workout. Denise battled through and destroyed some 95# atlas stone to shoulders and 95# snatches. Matt B had some of the best snatches of both groups even after muscle ups and burpees. Harlan scampered up the rope faster than some young bucks half his age and together he and Matt P clean and jerked the 135# log 17 times in 2 minutes. Also, everyone was great at convincing judges that we weren't really masters teams.
24 year old Siamand Rahman attempts a 301kg bench (aka 663lbs) for a 10kg world record at the Paralympic Games. News article with more details. Red lighted for unven lockout but an awe-inspiring lift nonethless, not just for the weight but also for the fact he can't utilize leg drive or stabilization.
Strength class:
T 6pm Week 3 of 3 deficit deadlift w/35# (or 45# if you want a challenge) plate. Try to hit your same 1RM as before.
Th 6pm Week 3 of 3 close grip bench
Sat 11am Week 3 of 3 speed box squat and shoulder press

It was a great time yesterday, and I enjoyed competing with all of you…..definitely great performances by all. And yes, I needed to do the masters convincing….might be time for some “Just for Men” in the beard.
Larry
Great time for sure…thanks to the youngsters for putting up with the old folks.
Denise Roby

Congrats to everyone on both teams for jobs well done. Those WODS were no joke! Made me doubly glad that Moxie took it relatively easy on us Masters last weekend!
