Sunday August 6th we will be watching the best of the best in the last events of the 2017 CrossFit Games. Bring your favorite dish to share, so we can throw snacks whilst watching others throw up ridiculous weights and down ludicrous times (isn’t that the dream!?!). Also bring your most comfortable camp chair, hammock, or other lounging device. As always friends, family, and kiddos welcome!
Saturday July 29th, we’ll be trekking to Girdwood for an Out-of-the-Box adventure. We will be hiking Alyeska North Face (or Winner Creek for interested parties). North Face is a short 2mi, but mostly climbing. We will be taking the tram down and rendezvousing at Jack Sprat’s for yam fries to celebrate our survival…I mean accomplishment.
We will be meeting at the resort tram @ 10AM to commence the fun. As always family, friends, and kiddos welcome!
We have decided to start carrying GU products at the gym. GU is a brand that I have used for the better part of a decade (Full disclosure: Most of that time I have been a part of their “Pro Program”). Although I find that most of their products are geared towards endurance athletes and that’s where they, as a company, have their roots they are working to serve the larger athletic community.
One product I still use virtually every day are their hydration tabs. The tabs are convenient pre-measured servings of electrolyte replacements that dissolve easily and have no added sugar. There is nothing worse than a sugary gut bomb with hidden powder pockets waiting to burst into gritty, sand explosions in your mouth. Am I right?!?
Anywho…on to the good stuff…we are offering a 25% discount off MSRP for anyone who wants to pre-order during our initial purchase. Please complete our Pre-Order Form by July 31st if interested. We will be placing the order on August 1st. If there are products you’re interested in that aren’t included on the form you can request on the bottom of the form. After the inaugural order, our members will receive a 15% discount as a membership perk for as long as we carry the products.
If you’d like to learn more about GU, here is The GU Story.
Hey Team,
I’m a little behind in getting this up, but we are early in our third training cycle for the year. We completed post-testing for Cycle 2 and pre-testing for Cycle 3 the last week of June and first week of July. We will work for approximately 8 weeks on the goals below, have a one week deload (reduction in load/volume/intensity) then retest in hopes of seeing measurable progress in the focus areas listed below.
Improve Absolute Strength
3RM BS, 1RM CGBP (correlates well w/ HSPUs)
Create Strength Speed by building on the strength base we created in cycles 1 & 2
(read dabbling in barbell oly lifting – focus on the clean and push press)
Develop Strict Gymnastics
Continue to amass volume in strict pull-ups and dips, building on Cycle 2
Adding HSPU
Building Aerobic Capacity
1.5mi run (increasing time frame from 2k erg in Cycle 2)
Every year the CrossFit community uses Memorial Day as an opportunity to remember one of our nation’s fallen heroes. Traditionally “Murph” is the HERO WOD of choice. This year we’re changing it up and commemorating a hero with local ties. We will be joining CrossFit Anchorage to do the Hero WOD “Liam” in honor of Sergeant First Class Liam Nevins. His sister is an athlete at CrossFit Anchorage. Please join us as we celebrate his life and commemorate those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. The WOD will be followed by a BBQ catered by AJ’s Truck. Feel free to bring snack and beverages to share. We hope to see you all there!
Join us on Sunday May 21st for a scenic ride along Turnagain Arm. We will be meeting at the Indian parking lot and biking to Girdwood where we plan to replenish and reward ourselves with beverages and yam fries at Jack Sprat’s! We are arranging rides back to Indian for those who only want to bike one-way. For those on a tighter schedule, feel free to partake in only the ride or restaurant portions of the day. Remember to sign up in mindbody so we can plan rides and reservations accordingly! https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=318955&stype=-102&sTG=34&sVT=26&sView=day&sLoc=1
