No matter how good you are/become, you can always work on the basics. Pat Barber, the kid in the video, is an avid CrossFitter. At 160 pounds, he managed a 245 jerk and a 150 snatch. Not bad too shabby. However, there’s always room for improvement.
Fundamentals is KEY.
Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. So let’s see some perfect practice today!

Good morning!
Hopper is only 4 sleeps away!
Lance, Chris, Marie-Noelle and I are registered for the Team Competition at YQM in Sept. Our team name is The Tabata 4. Still time to register a team my fellow cross fitters.
Today is the dealine for Battle of the North. I know that there are a few of us from CFM who are going! Register today if you are going. We will have fun!
Fall Classic in Halifax ( Cross Fit Kinetics) Oct 4th -5th. Registration is closed, but a few of us are on the wait list. Put yourself on the wait list too!
And of course, quite a few members of CFM have signed up for Legs for Literacy run on October 27th. Laura and I are considering registering. Any other takers?
Tons of competitions and events happening. Would love to see as many members from CFM registering!
Just signed up for Legs for Literacy- 5k.
I’m planning to register for the Legs for literacy 10k.
I’m signed up for the half-marathon! It’s going to be great to share another experience with a ton of CFM members!
I’m hoping to do 10k at Legs…
Legs for Literacy (10k) + Battle of the North
So awesome seeing so many people signing up for Legs for Literacy!
Hopper – Signed up
D-Town Beat down – Didn’t interest me for some reason
Battle of the North – Signed up
Fall Classic- Never heard of it for some reason?
Legs for Literacy – Signed up for the half
Going to Battle of the North! and I used the guilt trip card to get my folks to come cheer! haha.
I will go watch the YQM comp
I kinda forgot about Legs, but I should push to try a 10k as thats what I said last year.
I got Nationals in Vancouver next month so money to sign up for these things has disappeared… lol
Also… starting to get nervous for Hopper! ohhhh boy!
Oops…Registration for the Battle of the North is July 26th…still a few more days…
I’m disappointed I’ll be missing the Hopper this year, what a fun event! I know CFM will represent! Good luck to all the competitors!
Please cancel my 8:30 spot…sorry for the short notice…migraine hit me this morning
Feel better!
Oops…forgot to mention the Beach WOD, Saturday, August 3rd… like I said, tons happening!

Thank you Marie for the guidance 🙂
Corinna, I am doing the Legs for Literacy 1/2 and also the sprint triathlon in Sackville on Aug. 24……….anyone else interested in a tri?
I have a bucket list goal to do a triathlon – going to start by seeing if I can swim 700m in a couple of weeks and see how I do with that. If I can, I’ll do a triathlon but I’m not sure if it’ll be in August or not 🙂
What is a sprint triathlon? I assume it involves swimming?
Nice work this morning by the way!
It’s a triathlon but on a shorter distance! It’s meant to be FAST!
750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run….also refer back to the first event from 2012 CrossFit Games

Ohh I am so looking forward to nailing my first MU!
Good Job Miss super mom!
Thanks…
Tremendous effort on your part
You are going to get your muscle up Gillyon in the near future! I just know it!
hope so! 🙂
Wow!! Good Job Gillyon 🙂 Corinna, this sprint tri is a 750m open water swim, a 20k bike ride followed by a 5k run……..super fun!!!
I would sooooo love to do this Alaina, but a 750m swim is not an option for me. Like Amanda, a triathlon is on my bucket list! I need to sign up for swim classes at the Y!
We could start doing some swim WODs. I could help people learn to swim. I’d love to do a triathlon someday too!
I also need swim classes…
Please cancel my noon class, gonna go @ 415

I’ve done this workout twice at 115lbs. I’ve have a couple snatch PRs since then so I figured I would try a little heavier today. I was wrong. Lesson learned.
Future self: You can do this at 125lbs. Focus on start position, land feet wider, knees open.
great job Pat! 125 is heavy weight…
Heavy snatch Pat. So close. You’ll get it next time, I am sure.
Nice work Pat!

A year ago today I did my first WOD and was hooked immediately. 196 classes later I am still enjoying every minute. I can’t believe all the great coaching, tips, pointers and encouragement I have received this year. I look forward to another year of reaching milestones and being inspired by everyone at the box.
Congrats on your 1 year! You’ve improved so much.
Happy anniversary Tania!! You’re making astonishing fast progress! Looking forward to seeing what the next year brings for you.
Congrats on the year. You are a great athelete and person. I do not see you much, but you are one of my buddies.
Oops..Athlete
Watch out CF community…we have unleashed a firebreather! I’m impressed daily by your strength. Happy anniversary!
Oh my, how time flies!!! Congrats on a fantastic year of Crossfit. You impress me every day with your strength and your fitness. You are making wonderful progress. Keep up the hard work 🙂
Congrats on one year in Tania. You have made amazing progress. So strong & fast too!
Thanks for all your encouragement! 🙂
Congrats Tania! I’m always impressed by your strength and overall performance, happy to have you with us!
Love having you with us at CFM! Keep up the hard work girl. Miss working out with you!
Practice squat snatch
Up to 65# (squat snatch definetly gets me out of my comfort zone). Thanks for the tips Amanda, and for suggesting more weight for the WOD.
Amanda scaled:
27-21-15 pullups

Hard to say if this is a PR, last time did power snatches @ 45# in 6:54. Either way happy I went with squat snatches.
I’m glad you went with squat snatches too! Your form got better as you went along, you just need more practice with them. I’d say you got a PR in stepping out of your comfort zone. 😉

I tried to keep doing all my muscles ups which was fun but got me all worked up, and its the second time i did snatchs since my fundementals i should of used #60 instead of #95 ill start adding more of them in my strength, and the blisters in my hands from useing to much chalk did not help but will make them stronger, loved that class thanks for the encouragement at the end 🙂 and im a little burnt from my river trip the past weekend 😛

Congrats on a huge PR! You can definitely handle more weight next time. I have muscle up envy, too. Just sayin’… 🙂
WOD w/ 55# and (squat) snatches: 10:11. That is 30 seconds more than last time but with 5# more on my snatches and only did power snatches last time, so I’m happy with that progress. 🙂
I liked today’s wod, my pullups felt good and my snatch was cooperating during the wod for the most part. Would like to try a little heavier next time.
As for the upcoming events, I won’t be making most of the ones this summer except the Hopper…we have a cottage that we pay for all winter, so when the warm weather is here we try to get to it as much as we can. In the fall I will run a 10k in the “Love your Wild Side” race at the end of August and I’m hoping to do the Luc Gallant marathon in Kouchibouguac in October. I chose my runs based on location & charities..I didn’t figure the Legs for Literacy race needed my money as much as some of the others.
Might join you in Kouche. I’ve been eyeing that run. He and I are old track buddies. 🙂
I would love that!
I meant to write that I’d be doing the half marathon in Kouchibouguac, not the full one.

Great job! You’ll get those babies soon enough 🙂
That muscle up is around the corner. That is for sure! You looked great during the squat snatch lifts. All your extra mobility training is working.

Did this in October 2011 with pull ups (green band) and clean & jerks (85#) with time of 12:00. I guess I didn’t know how to snatch then. Can’t really compare, but its fun to see the progress. 🙂
