Tomorrow update

Regular gym hours tomorrow. I have a medical appointment in the afternoon. Casey Mehlenbacher has kindly agreed to supervise your workouts in the afternoon so it's all good! No sandbagging!!

Don't know if this Friday was exactly "fun"

 But many of you really learned how to extend your hips! This was tough work on such a warm day, and the math was overwhelming!

The t-shirts and hoodies are in! Come and pick them up!
Tomorrow I am driving to Belmont, NY for the Allegany Celtic Festival, and to pick up my Highland Games implements. I have 3 seats in the Fit if anyone wants to come along! I'll be leaving around 11:00 AM

Katie, Mike and Maggie graduate and other stuff

She does actually work out, but she is also a favorite amongst the pets.

They like Neal too!

Congratulatory shots!

I love spring!!

T-shirt and Hoodie order went in yesterday. They will be ready on or about May 27. I need orders paid up by then! I can take a credit card now!

It is so nice to play outside!

Ryan just stopped by to say "Hi" :)

I am absolutely loving this weather! We have gotten to play outside all week. It is so nice to take the Prowler out for a spin and get to have some fun throwing.

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
