This week in CrossFit history 2006:
Dave Castro and 5 of his buddies had a weekend of competition at the ranch in Aromas. The events were max rep bench press, Fran, dick measuring, beer pong, arm wrestling and a deadlift ladder. Dave won 5 of 6 events and the CF Games were born.
Meg told me “It’s hotter than Satans armpit in here” and I think she was right. I must be a full Ohioan now cause the heat felt brutal. Today we visited @crossfitr2f and dod a strength workout of Front Squats... https://t.co/TEPkaBsvT3

This knee has been bothering the hell out of me but it felt ok today so I got some work in. Needed to work on some strict strength as well as snatch practice. I’m light years from where I want to be and feel but... https://t.co/KWxMiW4dVS
Proud dad moment. The WODaughter has learned to do double unders in less than a few months of doing CrossFit. As a point of reference it took me over a year to do what she did in this video. @scottpanchik says it’s... https://t.co/qdp4z8fhfT
This video has more lens flare than a JJ Abrams movie. Today we worked up to a heavy thruster. The lift before this looked infinitely better but my baby girl applauded me at the end so I kept it. We had a fun... https://t.co/y3ufqArexx
Focusing today on pushing some front squats out of the receiving position to emphasize a deeper squat. Knee still hurts a little so I’m trying to rehab it by taking more rest days and focusing on better mobility... https://t.co/AO0iwV03Sm
Tough day @cfmentality but if it was easy it probably wouldn’t be work doing.

Partner WOD day with @mshagrin here at Gym JFW. This was a fun little movement we worked on today. Front squats starting just at parallel for sets of 5 increasing weight. This was the first time I’ve tried these... https://t.co/onlkuwg8pp
All the EMOMs today in Gym JFW. I like alternating minute WODs because they give you a little built in rest but force a rep scheme. All 3 of these were harder than I intended which I guess is kind of the point...

Finally working some front squats today. I did them from the floor so I wouldn’t be tempted to try something My knee is not ready for. After that I worked some power clean sets but landing is so wide that I look... https://t.co/jipTtwK4f1
