Attended the L1 seminar in Missouri this weekend at Crossfit TNT. The entire experience was amazing!! Met some incredible people and role models and I will never forget this weekend. I look forward to seeing anyone I met this weekend again, preferrably in the sizzling bacon position haha. Good luck to everyone and in Doug's words, "look for the booty pop"!!

so i want to smack the bar with my hips?

A big thanks for Joe and the rest of the crew at the Level 1 Cert at CrossFit Strong. You guys did a great job and made for a memorable Father's Day. :)

I also attended L1 seminar in St. Charles at CrossFit TNT. I had a great experience and loved every second of it. The coaching was top notch, and I learned some great info, tips, and tricks. Wish everyone the best of luck and keep up the great work.

The L1 experience was amazing. Great folks there participating as well as the staff. Great to see people get up off the ground from the "bacon sizzle" position to cheer on their peers before they even caught their breath! That's the heart of the community at its purest.. Thanks to Joe D, Joe W, Doug, Jason, Matt, and Nicole, you guys were great!

Thanks Eric, Chris, Neal, Matt, and Cherie For a great weekend. I learned a lot and I appreciate your leadership.

Positively,

Dave

I completed the Level 1 Cert in Melbourne this weekend and I honestly haven't had the words to describe the experience to anyone just yet. What a treat to have been able to watch and learn from Doug, Brett, Danny, Drummond, Kimmy and Rob. I have so much respect and admiration for the level of coaching I experienced this weekend. Definitely gives me something to aspire to. A quick note to Doug... I'm happy to go on record to say I LOVE Drummond's hair!!

Big thanks to stephane, josh, dave, michele, matt, nadia, and jp for making the L1 an amazing and fun experience. You all are great!

The bar, optimally, is in contact with your body the whole time until you hit the hip crease (AKA the pocket). Getting the bar to this position is essential for the scoop. This is were you'll get the most power in the whole lift.

Great job by the staff and owners of Trident Crossfit. It was a great weekend. I thank you all for being great coaches! Hell Yeah!!!

I had an amazing time today at CrossFit TNT on the L1 course. Joe Domain was awesome at breaking down the material.

Any suggestions for this exercise if I don't have an olympic bar? With my standard bar I can not widen my grip far enough so that when i snatch i am able to get my arms back enough for the squat position.

Lance, Nicole, and Russell,

Thanks so much for an outstanding L1 at Mustang Crossfit. Very beneficial. You all brought a lot of energy and a wealth of knowledge to our box. We are still benefitting from it and our athletes are as well.

Had a great time at TNT this weekend! Great instructors and great people. There's nothing like the cfit community! Thanks so much Doug, Nicole,Jason, Matt, Joe(2)!

Had a great time at TNT this weekend. The instructors and participants were awesome!

Thanks so much crossfit TNT and coaches; Doug, Nichole, Jason, Matt, Joe D. and Joe W. Definitely learned a lot; great workouts; great info; great people -- this is just the beginning :)

I am new to this...can someone explain this workout for me...I know what a snatch is but not what the 2-2-2-2-2-2 is

Had an awesome time doing level 1 in Melbourne over the weekend. Leant a shed load!
Thanks to all the 'Red shirts' for all your help

Great job everyone on an amazing weekend in Melbourne. Fantastic venue, and awesome trainers. Thanks guys!

Crossfit has some of the most amazing trainers! Not only did they do an excellent job of teaching the material, but they made it really fun. The test has some oddly worded questions so I hope I did well. Regardless, I am a better athlete after this experience.

The level 1 seminar in Park City was outstanding this weekend. It was cool to see how passionate our coaches were about teaching and making us better teachers of CrossFit. There are lot's of good reasons that the community is growing, and Chris, Eric, Matt, Cherie, and Neal are definitely part of them. Thanks again for such a productive weekend.

Thanks to the trainers and my fellow participants for an awesome certification at CrossFit TNT! Who knew getting worked over by a PVC pipe over and over again could be so much fun?!?

Any suggestions for form on the snatch? I only have a standard size bar and have a hard time on the squat. I can't rotate my arms far enough back and the weight presses foward.

I had an awesome experience at the CrossFit Kids Course in NorCal this weekend. Erik, Ali, Kelly, and Jon were super animated and informative, and I'm looking forward to implementing the tools I learned in my affiliate. Thank you Coaches for providing such an enthusiastic and FUN course!

We were taught during the nutrition section that cancer feeds off sugar. I googled the crap outta this and found this article:
http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/cancerupdate.asp

However- I will say that I had a great time this weekend. :) All the trainers that went to Bellevue were amazing and super informative. Thank you so much, guys.

Had alot of fun and learned alot of new tools for my bag.....Joe and the crew was good on teaching all the tricks and the teachnics....will remember this weekend...Thank You too to CF/TNT MO.

CYA!!!!.

I attended the Lvl 1 Certification course at TNT CrossFit.

AMAZING HQ Staff: Doug, Joe D, Joe W, Jason, Matt, and Nicole. I truly appreciate your dedication to not only better yourselves as CrossFit athletes, but to also take the time and display the patience to help other athletes like myself perfect my knowledge and biomechanics.

Went down to 95# after WOD and did 5 sets for 5 reps each to work on the squat snatch movement. Think I am finally making headway with that movement. Thanks to today's video, really helped me put some things together.

Loved the cert in PC! Thanks to all the trainers for the info and the passion. I have a lot to process and look forward to becoming a better athlete. Thanks Speal for the super awesome hand guards!

I attended the level 1 course this weekend at crossfit Stockport. The level of coaching, tuition, lecturing and fun provided by Karl, Matt, Sebastian and the rest of the coaches was truly exceptional while at the same time immeasurably inspirational. Together, they have all given me a perfect example,and now the basic tools, of what it takes to become a great crossfit coach.
Thanks guys!

Watch the video! It means 2 reps times 6 set

A big thank you to all the San Sebastian attendees for a great weekend!! You guys were awesome :) Mucho gracias!

Attended the L1 Cert at Reebok Crossfit Stockport (UK). I've attended many seminars on many subjects over the last 15 years - this was by the far the best! Organised perfectly with exceptional trainers that not only know their subject inside out, but have a clear passion for it! Thanks to Karl, Basti, Drake, Matt, Simon and Nolan - hope to see you all in the very near future!

Absolutely amazing weekend at the Level 1 in Stockport! The trainers were second to none! Massive shout to Basti, Drake, Matt, Nolan, Karl and Simon! If only the whole education system could be run by you guys!

A big thank you to Doug, Jason, Joe D., Joe W., Matt, Nicole and CrossFit TNT in St. Charles, MO. Your enthusiasm for CrossFit displayed at the Level 1 this weekend was amazing.

A big thanks to all CF coaches at SDSU! It was an amazing weekend. You guys rock!

I drank the Kool-aid. And it was very refreshing... Thanks Crossfit TNT, HQ Trainers, and all of the attendees that helped push me through the L1 workouts.

Thanks to Russell, Nicole, and Lance for the awesome L1 cert in Laredo. You guys were excellent and couldn't have asked for better instructors. Thanks for all the knowledge and continue the great work.

Thank you to Crossfit Strong and all the Coaches that taught the Level 1 this past weekend in Dallas. The L1 course more than exceeded my expectations and I feel that I am ready to become a better coach and athlete because of it. All of the coaches were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and I would recommend this course to anyone and everyone that was intrested in learning the basics of Crossfit. Thanks Again!

Awesome weekend at Reebok Crossfit Stockport on the. Level 1. Massive shout out to Karl, Basti, Drake, Matt, Simon and Nolan (Team B).

#25, LN
I did a quick search regarding cancer and sugar and came up with this article from Cancer Research: http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/70/15/6368.abstract I have not had a chance to review the authors and check their affilitions for bias and all that (and I suggest doing that!) but it looks like snoops muffed this one.

Just coming back from double jaw surgery so I'm going to stick with cleans today instead of a full snatch. Will post weights when I'm done!

Oh, to have short to normal length legs, and a mesomorphic body type (I'm a 6'6" ectomorph with a 43" inseam). Yeah, this is NOT going to be fun! :-(

Great weekend and seminar at CrossFit Park City. Could not have asked for a better group of trainers! Excellent information, awesome people to meet, pretty dang sweet!

I hang squat cleaned 255 for 3 on a wod about a month ago, so I'm definitely thinking my issue is technique. Any comments? Below is a synopsis of what went down.

I'm getting better with this move, but it is still a trial. After this wod, I think my biggest impediment to gains, outside of my form, is that I am thinking about the movement too much. Hip thrust on the move is getting really good; need to get better with my explosion and jumping motion. I planned to go up by 20 each time until I failed, but after missing 155 on the 4th set, I decided to drop it back down. I am getting better with this movement, but I need to get more confident so that I can be more violent with the movement at heavier weight, moving it instead of getting moved by it. Thought the demo was insanely helpful.

Amazing experience and learned some new terminology, such as extra credit lol. CrossFit Southie crew was awesome. Special thanks to the best trainers - Mel, Spencer, EC, Heather and James!

Tye, Blake and I had an awesome Level 1 Cert experience @ CF Strong this weekend!! Joe Alexander, Zac P, Jenni O, Connor (the "Original CF Kid"), Hollis, Chase and Spencer seriously were the perfect HQ Training group. They each brought great knowledge, skills (crazy SKILLZ!), cues and fun to an incredible weekend. KoolAid drank and in full effect at the Parker Household! Thanks so much for your time and talents!!

Great experience and knowledge at Southie this weekend. Staff was great! There were some really good jokes (James) and some bad (Heather) haha. Really enjoyed it.

70lb-75-80-90-100-100lbs. Weight is not too high but my form is a whole lot better so I am pleased with this workout. Finished off with 3 sets of 100lb overhead squats of 15-9-5 for some extra oomph.

Attended the Level 1 Cert at Crossfit TNT this weekend. All the coaches were very knowledgable and helpful in their teachings. Met some really cool people this past weekend. Hope to see some of them when I travel and be able to drop in to their Box for a WOD.....Good luck to all that attended this weekend and thanks for the hospitality from the CrossFit TNT staff.

Exceptional 2 days in Level 1 at Trident CrossFit. Chriss, Andrea and their box are top shelf. And Mike G, Chuck, Christmas et al dropped some serious good wisdom on us. Energy really cranked up after Fran and ran right on through til pencils dropped on the test. When one of your biggest fitness motivators is being able to participate with your kids in whatever activity you/they want for as many years as you/they want, wrapping up on Father's Day gave an added shot of meaning. That CF core notion of preparing you for whatever life may chuck your way...totally speaking to me.

EC, Heather, Spencer, James and Mel... if there's an All-Star CF Trainer team, you guys should be it. (And James with his jokes... too funny!!)

Thanks to the Level 1 trainer team at CrossFit Southie- Easily some of the best instruction I have EVER seen!!!

I just attended CF Level 1 at Crossfit Mundo, thank you so much Jami, Denise and Jenny you guys are amazing athletes, inspiring coaches and just plain fun people. :) I learned a lot from you, appreciating your dedication and care.

I had an exceptional experience at the L1 in Park City, Utah this past weekend with Eric O., Chris S., Matt C., Cherie C., and Neal M. These coaches not only provided amazing information related to teaching the foundational movements of crossfit, but also brought back into focus the goal of crossfit and the idea of community. Having put this experience off for 5+ years, I feel exceedingly lucky to have had such a great coaching staff and group of fellow crossfitters to share this time with. All of you have contributed greatly to increasing my ability to coach.

On a side note: in the roast off between Eric and Chris, I award Eric the win despite his non-existent calves. I would definately be interested in hearing my fellow participants votes on this though.

Thanks again to the coaches for making the weekend fun and light-hearted!

All the best,

First time snatching in 8 months coming off some nagging shoulder pain...feeling pretty good

I find myself not needing to do the squat portion of the snatch. I can get the weight up in one fast smooth motion, but I dont find myself needing to get under the weight to catch it.

Am I not doing enough weight?

I need to improve my overhead squat, today I was throwing 135 up without too much of a problem, but its when I go down into the overhead squat I get a little shakey in the shoulders. Is the squat portion necessary to get the full rep to count?

115 lbs 2 x 6
Gotta get under the bar quicker....

I attended the L1 cert. at CF/TNT this past weekend. It was an awesome experience! Met some great people and learned so much from the CF HQ trainers!

Crossfit Stockport L1

What an amazing weekend at Crossfit Stockport. The level of coaching was exceptional. Karl, Basti, Drake, Matt, Simon and Nolan thank you for making the learning process fun and showing us the right way to teach.

Anyone who was at Stockport feel free to add me on FB, it would be great to see how you get on in the future.

All the best with your training!

Wow! Thanks to Doug, Kimmy and the rest of the red shirts for delivering an awesome level 1 course in Melbourne this weekend. You guys totally rock and thanks so much for all the guidance!!

Level 1 - Park City!!!
We were incredibly blessed to have this 'dream team' staff work with us all weekend, and had an amazing group of people too! Huge thanks to Matt, Chris, Eric, Cherie and Neal!

...yeah, I have to agree, Eric won - sorry Speal!

M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
20 minutes WOD instead:
Odd minute: 10 wallball
Even minute: 5 D.L. (I used 215 lbs)
I used only 215 lbs. This was my first time doing D.L. since injuring my lower back.. I wanted a little load but to be SUPER in control and to get my posterior chain getting active.. not over taxing them this time...
next time I would say i should use 245 or 255 lbs.

Good WOD... It probably could have gone on for a few more rounds.. or a fast paced 4-5 minute AMRAP POST WOD would have been good as well.
Everything was unbroken and fast paced sets.
Good WOD.

95-115-135-135-135-95

More technique focus than anything. Felt pretty confident by the end.

I really enjoyed attending the Level 1 class at Crossfit Strong this past weekend. I learned a lot of great techniques and cues on how to teach others. I want to thank all the trainers that showed excellent knowledge on all the movements, and to crossfit strong for holding this class! I'm excited to take what I have learned and to start helping others better there fitness!

not getting low enough so struggling to get weight overhead.

Then 5 sets of 4x 10# weighted pullups and dips

135 for all sets w/ 60 seconds of rest
Then did some singles, got 165 (PR)

3 miles cycling
1 km rowing
400 rope jumps

Worked on the technique with 50kgs; around 20-30 reps

M/23/6'1"/225

155/175/195/155/155/155

Same principle as the video, chose technique over hitting a PR, although I was only 10lbs below my 1RM.

Worked up to 115lb. Lost track of sets. Worked on form primarily.

45-50-55-60-65-70
focused on form, have dropped the bar on my head doing snatches so I am a little skittish!

Great L1 seminar at Crossfit TNT. Everyone was awesome!!!! We all learned so much. All the staff was great.

I chipped my tooth during Fran on day one of the L1 Cert at Mustang CrossFit. Who does that?????...This guy right here.

Either way...Great job to Russell, Lance, and Nicole.

I'm so inconsistent on these. The first and last sets were easy, but in between I was dropping the bar, forgetting to dive into the squat, and generally looking like an ass. Frustrating.

I'm certain that those failures were due to form rather than strength. Too slow.

Attended the L1 cert. @ TNT this past weekend. It was an awesome experience! I've had a very strong interest in CF for some time & this filled my tool belt with so much useful & amazing information. I had the privilege to meet some great people and learned so much from the CF HQ trainers! Thank you Joe, Joe, Doug, Matt, Jason, & Nicole. I have a long way to go but I feel like you all gave me a great start!

The CrossFit Kids seminar in CrossFit NorCal was amazing! It really solidified what I knew as a children's coach, and then opened up a world of information to me that I can put into practice with our kids and share with our families. A big thanks to Dr. John Gary who really brought the science down to our level of understanding and made it applicable in our boxes. Kelly helped me, as a non parent, understand the needs and expectations of parents in the program; Erick answered some much needed questions, and Ali was the perfect example of what a kids coach needs to be. Overall, fantastic seminar and fantastic team. Thank you CrossFit Kids!

135 - 155 - 165 - 175 - 185(2RPR) - 200(1)(PR)

Oh so close to that second rep but excited as that's the most I have ever snatched.

CFWU-1. Slept in plus trying to get metcon in as well. Superman. Burgener.
135,140,145,150-only 1 good one, 150-much better this set. Used some dirt to get better grip on bar. May have helped mentally anyway.

CrossFit Charlotte you ROCK! I had an amazing time at the L1 cert this weekend! I couldn't have asked for better trainers ~ not only do they have hawk eyes for technique but their presentation skills are great! Some of the most intertaining people I have been around :-) Thank you Mike G, Xmas, Nicole, Joe, Coach Hendell & Spenser for a GREAT weekend!

M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
I did a slightly differnt snatch practice last night.. way out of the order online:
Snatch Practice:
regular warm up + burgener w/ 50 lbs barbell
65 lbs hanging power snatch, hang squat snatch, squat snatch
85 lbs hanging power snatch, hang squat snatch, squat snatch
95 lbs hang squat snatch, squat snatch
105 lbs hang squat snatch, squat snatch x 3 sets - everything was feeling really good.. then I got mental
115 lbs x 2squat snatch - terrible form so I did it again
115 lbs x 2 squat snatch - terrible form so I went back down
105 lbs squat snatch o.k. form... I was really trying to hit pockets and to stay over the bar longer... I can pull the bar up to my head about... it's a MENTAL THING... I'm going to have to work on technique more and more to get used to it.. I'm going to have to work snatch balance, etc. more as well... I'll have to do these post wod so I get used to pulling my body under the bar when I'm tired as well as when I'm fresh

POST WOD:
50' walking lunges with 35 lb plate overhead.. directlty into high box jumps about 8 reps... great couplet legs get tired so you have to relax and just go for an explosive jump.
50' walking lunges with 45 lb plate overhead.. directlty into very high box jumps about 8 reps (3 sets)

M/ 38/ 134 LBS/ 5'-6"
I did a slightly different WOD way out of the online sequece:

85 lbs hang power snatch, hang squat snatch, squat snatch
95 lbs hang power snatch, hang squat snatch, squat snatch
105 lbs hang squat snatch, squat snatch (3 sets of about 5-8 reps) (everything felt great at this point.. I was realyl trying to stay over the bar and to use my hips... to get the bar at the pockets and to really extend at the top and concentrate on the shrug up and PULLING under the bar)
115 lbs squat snatch (2 reps.. terrible form)
115 lbs squat snatch (failed a few times.. then 2 reps.. terrible form)
105 lbs hang squat snatch, squat snatch.. form was not quite there for some reason
