The Lions Leave To Tame The Games

A large crew of Lions Den members are heading down to LA to support Garth Prouse aka Steven Bunches and The CrossFit Lions Team as they compete this weekend at The CrossFit Games. Garth is one of only 50 men in the world to have qualified for the games and our team is one of only 74 gyms to qualify in the world. For those of you who aren't able to make it down to Cali, you can watch the games free at live.crossfit.com. Only one event will take place at a time and every heat will be shown. There is also the ability to back track in the coverage. I'm sure the commentators will be sub par for a sporting event as none of them do this for a living but the coverage should be good and hell.....its free. The Team starts the competition at 10am Friday and Garth will start approx at 7pm Friday. It will end Sunday early afternoon.

I will be away all day Thursday till Monday night. While I'm away Mel Thomas will be teaching all classes. Mel is one of our top athletes and is now a trainer at CrossFit Lions. This will be her first experience training her peers in the class setting but I'm confident she'll do great and you all will like her super positive style. Class schedules will stay the same through this time period and I'll see ya on Tuesday morning.

If you can try and show up to normal class times on Thursday as it is NOT a make up day that would be great. There will be a fixed workout for tomorrow. Also if you need to make any subs because of injury please let Mel know before class or at the start of class and you two can decide together on what exercises will work.

Thursday

Front Squat 6x5
WOD:
