week of 09/05/22

Happy Sunday everyone! Remember the gym is closed tomorrow for Labor Day. This week was full of front squat PR’s, Snatch PR’s in Barbell, and even an engagement 😉 Never a dull moment at CFD!  As you will see below, we are entering our OLY cycle, which means we will be hitting a lot of front squats, clean and jerks, and snatches in the next nine weeks’ programming.  Being the barbell coach, this makes me SO HAPPY!  

ARE YOU REGISTERED FOR DEVELOP WITHIN?  Register before September 7th to get the comp T-shirt! 

Comp will take place Saturday, September 24th.  Choose to compete Rx, Scaled, or Master’s (40+).  Develop Within is a perfect opportunity to get your feet wet if you are interested in doing CrossFit competitions.  Not ready or interested in competing? Plan to come out to show your support for your fellow CFD athletes as well as athletes from all over the area. 

MILE CHALLENGE IS HERE! The Mile Challenge returns in September! Register for this challenge and track your progress on Wodify Rise.  Collect points every time you run/walk/crawl a mile!  Can be more than a mile, just cannot be less than. Registration link is on the CFD Member Facebook page!
