Strength Sunday

As promised, video update!

Kari's third attempt at the snatch today during the 69kg A session at the American Open. 78kg, way to go!

Kari's second clean and jerk, 92kg, she totaled 170kg. 

At the American Open and Outlaw Open this weekend, lots of familiar CrossFit and weightlifting faces (anyone here remember Blake?). Both are held at the convention center in Palm Springs, with only one of those removable walls separating the two competitions. That means when I'm watching Coach Kari lift tomorrow I'll still be able to hear some good ol' Crossfit gym-style heavy metal music. Also, the 69kg A session starts at noon for those of you who will be watching her on the live stream here. I'll post a video or photo of Kari's lifts by the end of the day today.

The Outlaw Open is a CrossFit competition in its first year but has a great turnout, including at least four female Games competitors. The workouts today consisted of totaling in the snatch and clean and jerk, an agility course with three minute max row for meters, a medball toss, and a muscle-up/heavy front squat couplet. Live stream for Outlaw Open, events start at 9am. 

Some great displays of fitness happening under one roof this weekend (heck, there's even a cheerleading competition held in another part of the convention center), watch the live feeds if you can. Maybe you'll be as inspired as I am to buy some more CrossFit gear and hope that gets me to a metcon PR. 

Tues 6pm: low bar back squat 3RM

Thurs 6pm: bench press 

Sat 11am: speed box squats again, we can get better at this (I mean, it will make us better)
