Ido Portal Interview

                                          Fascinating views on human movement and CrossFit.
                                          It is worth thinking about the CrossFit pyramid in the
                                          context of what Portal is talking about:

Brave

                                              This is a great video about a brave kid and CrossFit
                                              getting behind her.  It is a  good reminder of those in our
                                              own CCSO family who have had or currently have
                                              similar challenges with their own kids.


And for those hardy souls from CFI who are going to take on the wet weather and 35,000 other runners at tomorrow's Shamrock Run:

Meet 1610 hours with upstairs (G):

115 pound Shoulder to overhead, 5 reps

2013-03-13

Meet upstairs at 1610

10 Rounds for time:

Row 200m
10 pushups
5 hang cleans 135/95

One of the great things about CrossFit is that the design of the program and programming allows for innovation and sponteneity.   If 1600 is too early for you, please contact Sergeant Pierce about the 1700 crew to get on his text group.  If neither of those work for you organize your own crew.  It's 24/7 around here.  If there is something that does not make sense, call, email, or text for help.

Meet upstairs at 1610.

Five rounds for time:

20 Deadlifts (135)
30 Pushups
40 Situps
50 Squats


Yesterday's attendance was fantastic.  We had athletes from the rank of OSII to Undersheriff and from the Patrol, Investigations, Adminstration, and Administrative Services Divisions. At 1700 we had a second group gather for a WOD! 

Equipment ran a bit short, so if anyone has an Olympic bar gathering dust in their basement or garage and wants to bring that in it would be most appreciated.  You can lend it to us or donate it to the CCPOA and get a tax credit!

Working with your favorite people under the instruction of your CF instructor of choice is ideal for every WOD.  However, the reality of callouts, overtime, training, and crazy shifts means that you need to have a solid plan B to make sure that you can stay on track with your fitness goals.  Talk with one of the coaches or your co-workers about tools they use.  Some are not so expensive (like a decent set of rings) and some are quite expensive (like a good Oly bar and bumper plates or a C2 rower).  You might also consult with one of the Craigslist wizards around the briefing table about how to find things like rowers for less.

Some of these tools travel really well also.  Rings (with straps) and jump ropes fit nicely into a suitcase or your backpack.
