The Big One -- "Fran"

Okay everybody its Fran time. This is CrossFit best known and probably best designed workout. This is a sprint WOD. You don't want to pace or hold back or any of that shit. Get on the bar and try and kill it. Put your body in a bad place and see how long you can stay there for. Really excited to see everyone go after this tomorrow. FYI if you don't come in and do it you have to do the next time you are in. Better to just come in and go with the group.

WOD:
"Fran"
21,15,9
Thrusters @95/65
Pullups
Tech:
Post workout Back Squat, if you feel up to it. 3x3


Setting up Fran


The Monk from CrossFit Vancouver showing off some badass stretching technique in the Den. Stay tuned for details on a workshop he is going to be putting on in the next couple of weeks.
I am going to break the suspense and let everyone know we are going to be ripping Fran tomorrow (Wednesday). So to make sure you are as fresh as possible for that here is our WOD for today.
TECH:
Deadlift 6x3
Split Jerk 5x1

Updated Website -- 9am Class now fixed

Hope you enjoy the new website. Please bear with me as I will be updated as we go along. Its far from complete but I wanted to get it up. If you don't see it on your browser, delete your temp files and it should show up.
I will now be offering a 9am class Monday - Saturday.
Also there has been a pricing change for the introduction/CrossFit elements classes. I have compressed the intros needed down to 3 and the price has dropped to $190, with a deal if people bring in a friend and even cheaper if they bring in two. If you are enjoying your training here and the benefits it brings please spread the word. I'm guessing there might be a few friends out there who the 5 intro sessions might have been keeping them away. Remember anyone gets to try it for free. Thank you for your help.

As a lot of us are realizing, stetching is absolutely critical for long term health and fitness. We all need to be more diligent at making sure we supplement our training with a good stretching routine.
