Totality
This Saturday, May 5th, at noon, we will be hosting the CrossFit Total (CFT) for CFES members. The contested lifts are the back squat, press, and deadlift. Your best of three attempts at each will be added together to come up with your CFT score (which will go on the new records board in the Blue Room). We will have an open gym from 12:00 until 4:00 pm for members to total each of the lifts.
Post-CFT festivities will be held at Tu Casa (2 blocks from the gym) starting at 4pm. Bring friends and family for a Cinco de Mayo throwdown -- good food, conversation, and maybe even some drinks.
My soul weeps knowing I won't be able to make it. :(

I have to say I'm a little worried that the sanctity of Cinco de Mayo is being sullied by pairing it with Cross Fit Total. I'm not sure my body will accept back squats and tequila shots in one day.

I can't go because I'm in 34th place (out of 30,000) in the Bigger Dance and must attend the final four party on Saturday!

The CFT is legit.
Combining the lifts (Squat Press Pull) into one session (read:event) is something that not many in the world these days (unfortunately) can speak of –other than specialists in the lifts.
We are all changing this, and doing it with a bunch of great people around us. Exciting!
Found a video of Sean dead lifting on YouTube. You know DJ James Duggins brought the Music ;)

Which just goes to show The Prodigy is a fine soundtrack to personal improvement. We should have more of it at CF.
I'll not be lifting today I have a Kentucky Derby party to attend - yes really.
Have fun...

I'm pretty bummed that I ran out of time. Next time. I know now where to start at on the squat at least. I have way more in me than what I put up.
See ya next week!
