It has been a while, so it was time to 

Jump High!!!

(Max Height Box Jump)

This is the first time Jason O. has done box jumps with us.  He's only been here a few weeks and is doing quite well.

 

Don't do this!

  

"We don’t have a clue as to what people’s limits are. All the tests, stop-watches, and finish lines in the world can’t measure human potential. When someone is pursuing their dream, they’ll go far beyond what seems to be their limitations. The potential that exists within us is limitless and largely untapped…When you think of limits, you create them."

Speaking of Barbell...

 

 

Redding Barbell Club made the trip down to the PWA Championships in San Francisco for another great Olympic Weightlifting Meet hosted by Hassle Free Barbell Club.

Nick, our first lifter, had a very successful first meet going 5/6 with his lifts.  He opened with a successful 45k snatch, missed his second at 48k, and then rocked his third at 50k.  For the clean and jerk Nick went 3/3 finishing with a 70k clean and jerk for a total of 120k. 

Bryan was our second lifter of the day going 4/6 with his lifts. He finished his snatch with a successful 89k and 111k for his best clean and jerk.  This gave Bryan a total of 200k which is a big PR for Bryan.  This also placed Bryan first in the B lifting session and 3rd overall in the 85k class.

Our Olive also went 4/6 with her lifts.  She opened her snatch with a successful 46k and made her second attempt at 48k.  Her clean and jerks went about the same opening with 64k and then she hit a solid 67k.  This gave Olive a total of 115k which is a meet PR. 

Hailee went 6/6 with her lifts.  She finished her snatch at 68k breaking her previous PWA record of 65k.  For the clean and jerk she went 78k, 80k, and finished with 82k giving her a total of 150k which broke her previous PWA total record of 148k.  Hailee took first place in the 58k women's open class.  This was a great meet before the Junior Nationals.

 We would like to thank everyone that came to cheer on our lifters this Saturday.  And a big thank you to our atheletes for working hard and showing up with their game face this weekend.  Also we would like to thank Hassel Free Barbell Club and the Pacific Weightlifting Association for allowing the sport of weightlifting to grow in our area by fostering amazing atheletes.

Attention all newer members.  Are you interested in competing in a Novice CrossFit competition?  There is going to be a "Newbie Throwdown" on Feb.4th at Level 10 CrossFit in Oroville.  Yes, a competition for those new to CrossFit.  This is a GREAT opportunity to go hang out and compete with other CrossFitters at your level.  It's ALWAYS fun to mingle with the larger CrossFit community from other gyms.  If you are interested please let Kevin know ASAP.

The rains finally hit Redding and a number of you thought that we were going to do some Running, but instead it was a VERY challenging Front Squat sequence of 1-10-1-20-1-30.

As you all found out, it was a true challenge of the mind; especially on that set of 30.

Sunny finishing those last few reps on her set of 30.

The owners and trainers want to thank all of you for helping us grow this CrossFit community.  We are all part of something rather special; not just here locally, but as a world-wide fitness movement.  We aim to continue providing for you the greatest training facility that Redding has to offer.  If you EVER have any suggestions to make it better, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

Wednesdays EMOTM (every minute on the minute) WOD of 3 pullups and 2 Handstand pushups for 30 minutes seems relatively simple on paper, but when you really challenge your current abilities, it can become a VERY challenging workout!

Andrew goes for Max range of motion from parallettes.

All the way down...

Always a great pic!
