ThursdaySome truths from Mark Rippetoe
• Your muscles cannot get “longer”
without some rather radical orthopedic surgery.
• Muscles don’t get leaner—you do.
•
There is no such thing as “firming and toning.” There is only stronger and weaker.
• The vast
majority of women cannot get large, masculine muscles from barbell training. If it were that easy, I would have them.
• Women who do look like men have taken some rather drastic steps in that direction that have little to do with their
exercise program.
• Women who claim to be afraid to train hard because they “always bulk up too much”
are often already pretty bulky, or “skinny fat” (thin but weak and deconditioned) and have found another excuse
to continue life sitting on their butts.
• Only people willing to work to the point of discomfort on a regular
basis using effective means to produce that discomfort will actually look like they have been other-than-comfortable most
of the time.
• You can thank the muscle magazines for these persistent misconceptions, along with the natural
tendency of all normal humans to seek reasons to avoid hard physical exertion."

WednesdayI've been wrestling with the idea for quite some time now and realize that we NEED
a basic movements course that everybody must attend before attending a regular CrossFit class. As much as we have all
enjoyed watching our classes grow over the past few months, I have not been extremely happy with the level of technique and
form that is being performed by the masses, and I can only blame myself for that. I have very high expectations and
hopes for all of you that join our classes. But with that expectation I sometimes get ahead of myself, and in turn ahead
of you. In conclusion, we must go back to the basics: The Squat, Front Squat, OH Squat, Press, Push Press, Push Jerk,
Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift High Pull and the Medicine Ball Clean. Changes are on the horizon, strict, fair, just and informative. 6pm
