    1. Great job on your OHS, they were solid!! I was secretly admiring you when you were doing them 😀 I’ve been struggling with 95# x 1 lately so I was impressed by seing someone doing 95# and more, 5x!

  3. WU x 2

    Douple strength
    Back squat x 5 : 110-130-150-160-170

    Cleans : POOP! Wasn’t feeling very well at the end of my back squats so I sat patiently while waiting for Vince to finish so we can go home. Feeling better now, I hope I don’t get that nasty bug that’s going around!

  4. Woohoo! We’re back! Had a great time in Punta Cana but missed my Crossfit “fix”. Got a much needed rest though and got rid of some nagging aches and pains. Excited to go to class later today!

    1. Just realized my 1-year anniversary date at Crossfit Moncton occured while Jeff and I were away last week. Whew….what a year it has been!

      I can’t even begin to describe what I have “gained” over this past year. Greater strength and improved fitness kind of go without saying. Crossfit Moncton has brought about some positive changes to my previously “okay” eating habits, thanks to the “no bread” challenge. What people don’t typically think of as benefits of a gym membership are some of the BIGGEST take-aways for me. For one, the wonderful friends I have made. Secondly, the courage to try new things (like doing my first sprint-triathlon last summer). I have done things at CF Moncton over the last 12 months that were not possible for me before (unassisted pullups, double unders, unassisted ring dips) and I am so very proud of these accomplishments. The confidence I feel is like a drug. I still have a long way to go and a long list of things I want to be able to do. There is a muscle up out there with my name on it!! I can’t wait to see what CF Moncton has in store for me this year…
