Fun Friday...assessing the situation

 Figuring it out together. Fun. Friday.

Mike really likes to throw!

Meet report

It has been so nice to take the workouts (and recovery) outside!

WNPF meet report:

 All of the Wadsworth Fitness/Crossfit Geneseo lifters had a great day!. Courtney took 1st place in age/weight class and Best Female Lifter with a 290# squat, 150# bench and 350# DL! Katie (first meet) took 2nd place in her division and PR'd all 3 lifts. Karen took first in her division and while she was a little disappointed in her lifts she overcame meet nervousness and is excited about her next meet. Casey took first in his division, got robbed by the judges on his 2nd DL attempt, but nonetheless broke some new ground.

I am so proud of all of them!! I couldn't lift due to this elbow snarkiness, and while I missed the lifting it was really nice to take pictures and just be the coach!

WNPF Meet tomorrow!

Katie, Casey, Karen and Courtney are competing tomorrow! The meet is at the Staybridge Inn, 1000 Genesee St. Rochester (across the river from the Uof R) Lifting starts at 10:15! $8 admission. Stop by and watch some serious lifting! I'll be there all day!

It's so nice to play outside!

Got the chance to show Mike a couple of throws. I think we have a new throwing fan :)

Got to do a little throwing this weekend!

Casey and Katie trying out my new kilt!  As you can see here, everyone just looks better in a skirt.

A bit of an early heads up: As most of you know, my daughter Laura is getting married on June 29. I am going to need to take the week before the wedding off. I am trying to arrange coverage with other trainers. As the details become more clear I will share them with you!

So yeah, come prepared to play outside now.

Shenanigans

Maggie Ann, getting some rare and special coaching from the Timster.

I don't think anyone will ever beat this deadlift face. Sorry, Cooper "Parseltongue" Creagan, you have been bested.

We are having a Happy Hour/Crossfit Century on Friday, April 12 at 7:00PM. All are welcome! As always, if you want to attempt a century you must have a designated driver and/or arrangements to spend the night here!

Katie, Karen, Casey, and Courtney are competing in a WNPF Power Lifting meet on Sunday April 21 in Rochester. Due to elbow issues I will be attending as a coach/photographer. Anyone who wants to come with, let me know. Power lifting meets are actually pretty fun to watch!

As the weather improves, please come prepared to play outside! I've ordered a set of Highland Games throwing implements. Can hardly wait to play with them! I walked over to the airport today, and our road is in top notch running shape!

Deserved, some kudos are!

 

 

James set a new personal record with the squat and the dead lift today! I'm not a big fan of continually maxing out, but unless you compete in the lifts, it is really fun to test it every now and then in the gym. Great job James!

 

 

Katie had been testing her limits this week as well. Personal records in squat, bench, Clean and jerk and snatch. This girl could be going places in strength sports!

 

 

The dogs let me have a turn in the chair, well sort of.

 

 

It looks like we are going to have a nice turnout for the Miche Fambro/Ralph Louis jazz guitar concert in the barn Sunday evening! No one has to lift a kettlebell. The music will be awesome, and there will be some nice snacks and beverages. Miche is a former member, and Ralph is Sue's husband.

Good links

Great nutrition article by JP Mummey (Dansville Fitness Club)
Another reasonable "Paleo" article in my opinion.
Interesting drill to get the legs working right in the oly lifts.
Anyone intersted in some new body art? Tattoo party at DFC
Social media has its downside, but in the end, I like knowing what you are up to before you come in the gym and tell me :)

I am so looking forward to Spring and being able to get outside and play! Daylight Savings Time on March 10 means we have daylight past 7 PM! Woohoo! Get ready to run, and throw and flip some tires!!

Way more fun than regular Cindy!

Zoe is getting pretty good at the art of Photo Bomb!

Zach might have been tackled a few times

The Chair makes another appearance!

This time in a workout!

The Chair

 

 

The Chair was meant to be temporary. Meant to exist here just as a transition to a new owner or to the stuff merchant....but it seems like it might have some value here in the barn. There was no where near this kind of interest when the farmers handles or the prowler arrived.

Prowler play and rowing dodgeball

 

We had a lot of fun today! Working out doesn't always have to be so serious! I didn't get the pictures, but the Ryan/Mike match was awesome!! Hopefully a few of you will want to play tomorrow!

 

Well, so much for being more regular about posting :/

Katie doesn't think Renee and I are funny sometimes.



Thursday evening cuddle time!

 

Don't forget to put the Miche/Ralph Louis Concert March 3rd on your calendar! We know from experience that Miche sounds great in the barn, and everybody needs to hear Mr. Sue play! Refreshments will be served. $15 suggested donation will go to the artists.

 

WNPF Power Lifting meet April 21. Power lifting meets are tons of fun!

 

Throwing starts as soon as the snow melts! I'm hoping to attend another seminar in May in order to bring back some knowledges to share with you!

 

There has been some interest in doing another Century! I'm thinking sometime in April. Who is in? It's always a good time!



Finally got around to sorting photos!

 

Found these pictures of our 12 Days workout with Kerry Hanley! We had a lot of fun, except for maybe Casey. He didn't feel too good that day.

Bunch of stuff:

House concert by Miche Fambro and Ralph Louis on Sunday March 3, 4-7 PM in the barn. Reservations required and a suggested $15 dollar donation that will go to the artists. Refreshment (food, wine and beer) will be provided.

WNPF Power Lifting meet on April 21. Let me know if you are planning to compete as we need to adjust your training. You must register by March 30.

Tough Mudder July. Let me know if you are doing this as we need to adjust your training to prepare you!

Yesterday was so nice I got to go outside and practice my Highland Games throws. It is so fun and is giving me yet another reason to look forward to spring! I am still planning to host some kind of event in August that will include these throws and maybe a little Strongman stuff! As I will be turning 50, maybe it will be a birthday party too!

I'm hoping to be a bit more consistent with picture taking and posting!
