Say cheese...

CrossFit brewmasters
...it goes well with beer. Our in-house brewmasters and team-deadlifters, Sean and Brock, will be bringing a few different batches of homebrew (including the highly anticipated Overhead Pale Ale) into the gym Friday evening for all of us to sample and enjoy. Join us for the evening: we will have BBQs roaring. Bring your own meat to grill, and, if you so desire, veggies and/or side dishes to share.

Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, authors of the brand-new edition of their unparalleled weightlifting text "Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training," will be here from Texas and looking forward to meeting y'all, so come by and say hello. Bring your friends and family and come hang out for the evening. We'll get going just after the 6:00-7:00 workout--so, starting about 7:15--this Friday evening, October 26.

Basic Barbell Training book
We'll also have hot-off-the-press copies of the new book here for you to peruse.

One-hand deadlift

CrossFit odd liftingEither hand may be used. The bar may be raised either in front of the lifter, as in a two-hand deadlift, or the lifter may straddle the bar. Hook gripping is permitted. The free hand may be used to brace against the legs and/or body but may not be a brace upon completion of the lift. Foot spacing is optional, but may not change once the lift begins. The bar must be raised to a point where both ends of the bar remain knee high and the legs must be straight. The hands may not be changed during the competition.
