Kerri's 2018 goal is to get a pull-up! Today our skill work will focus on pull-ups. We have one more CrossFit Games Open Workout and I predict it will have pull-ups. Let's get ready for it! The pull-up is an important gymnastics movement. With a pull-up you can get on top of a wall, get over a fence, escape, evade and save yourself if you find yourself in a hole. It's a super handy skill to have. Pull-ups require a good strength to weight ratio. If you don't have any plans to change your body weight, then your focus should be on getting stronger. Lucky for us, we work on our gymnastics pulling strength weekly and we do lots of overhead pressing and pulling. This will certainly make you stronger for your pull-ups. Watch today's Technique Tuesday video to see the drills we'll be working on, and to understand how to coordinate your muscles to get your chin over the bar. Good luck!

We are super excited that our Festivus Games are FULL! That's right, we have 40 people from all over Montana, including 14 from our gym, that are gathering together to workout, eat tacos and drink beer! Last year our True Spirit Masters Women finished 1st and 2nd.
We need your help! We need judges! We are running heats of 10 people and need a judge for every every person for every heat. We ask that for judging continuity our judges commit to a 1.5 hour time block. You can volunteer to be a judge by signing up on the form below.
We continue with our Festivus Games prep today with Workout 2 - Chip'n & Twist'n.

You've earned a nap today! Get outside and play, then enjoy some well-deserved downtime. If you're not Running to The Pub today, join Coach Leslie at 9am. Rumor has it that it's a 10K day. You can run it for Run to the Pub, or row it. Either way, you get beer when you're done;-)
