The deadlift workout at the games
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have noticed a disturbing trend since we revamped the schedule and programming. The days we do heavy weightlifting attendance is down. First off, I just want to be blunt and say that strength is the most important physical attribute there is. If you are strong everything you do physically will be easier. Heavy weightlifting is how we get strong - Period. If you are skipping the weightlifting workouts you are doing half of Crossfit. At Flatirons CrossFit you will be doing about a quarter of the program because we like to lift heavy stuff. If you want to cherry pick that is your choice.
On that note, make sure you are coming to Mark's class on a regular basis. We a lucky to have him as our Olympic lifting coach so take advantage of his class.
Attention CrossFitters! The WOD will now be posted one day behind.
Thanks for your cooperation

Arrggghhh!! This conflicts with my neurotic compulsion to mentally rehearse workouts ahead of time.

Will the extra special WOD on Saturday come with sauce or should we provide our own?I welcome this - the unknowable is the best way to keep one guessing!And I second the Mark promo - I have learned more about how to do all of Crossfit from the skills of Olympic lifting than any other.

I make it a practice not to look at the workout beforehand because it interferes with my sleep!! Thanks for the tough love, Tim.
