C rossFit East Bay Rest Day 090511/ Social Climbing @ GWPC
We started our affiliate cup training today, it was great.
We have huge respect for local bad-asses, CrossFit Oakland, who consistently destroy in competitions, and we were surprised to see that that they put their cutting edge methods out there for all to see. You better believe we are going to take advantage of their generosity in staying true to the open-source fitness model and start doing this as well! We had a hell of a "core" workout today with these amazing fitness tools!
From CFO:
New Swiss Ball Class Starting Tomorrow!
The newest fitness tool at CFO
We've been looking for a new way to take our brand of fitness to the
next level. And we're excited to announce that beginning tomorrow at
10am, we'll be rolling out a new Swiss Ball class. We're really looking
forward to changing up our programming a bit, and feel that this will
give us an edge heading into this year's CrossFit Games.
With Coach Glassman already proclaiming that there will be movements that have never been contested in previous Games that will be contested this year, we have to be prepared. The exercise programming options for swiss (sic) balls are nearly limitless. We have enough high-intensity, varied programming options to keep even the most advanced athlete busy for years. For many, the development of advanced swiss (sic) ball skills will be a three- to five-year odyssey.
Discuss how you'll integrate swiss (sic) ball skills and drills into your daily CF programming.

Social Climbing at GWPC 6-9PM
Come climb with the CFEB crew. If you don't know how this is a great opportunity to learn to top-rope: you don't need to own equipment, but there is a nominal fee for harness and shoe rental.

I have had Apollonia on a nearly all CrossFit/Swiss Ball Hybrid program since the day I saw this. After "Swiss Ball Fran", her "Fran" time was just about cut in half.
Amazing stuff, thanks CFO!
I have trouble with balls... could someone please help me?
You haven't lived until you've done thrusters STANDING ON A SWISS BALL!! Aka "Thrusters To The Next Level."
Andrea, Andy should have some extra time this week to help you while he is nursing his legs back to health.
Andy + Andrea + Balls = Dangerous Combination. Someone could get hurt. Probably Andy.
Daniel,
Agreed... better bring your video camera to capture the evidence! :)
I have registered CFEB for the Affiliate Cup.
Woooohoo!! Thanks Coach.
I like balls.
Andy how did you get on Princess Raindrop's computer?

Hey Everyone,
One World will be hosting an Affiliate Team workout on May 30th (time frame based on how many participant teams).
You may bring one team from your gym to this event. It may be a continued tryout for your Affiliate Cup team, or it can be the team you have already put together. All six team members will participate in the workout. Be warned, that there are two legs to the workout. Half the team will complete one leg, and the other half will complete the second leg. The good news: there are no standards of technique for this workout. No one will be able to say the winning team had crappy form :-) The workout is totally task driven. It's up to your team to pick the most efficient way to get the work done. Consider it a chance to see your Affiliate Cup team in action
Please email me if you are interested in attending so I can finalize the schedule. If you have other questions or concerns, please feel free to call me.
If you know of any other Crossfit boxes that aren't on this list, but might want to attend, please forward this email to them.
Thanks everyone, and we look forward to hearing from you.
OK, I like to scoff at Swiss Balls as much as the next CrossFitter, but this is pretty damn cool.
Wish I could have climbed with you guys tonight.. Had to teach class tonight. I hit the balls hard after class, tho.
Jerimiah: I need your email and Shane's: or just search for me on Facebook "Max Lewin CrossFit" and add me so I can add you to the Team CFEB Group which is how we disseminate information.
Thanks.

I'm "info@crossfiteastbay.com" if that was not obvious.
Jeremiah - we believed you the first time you posted.
Tonight's climbs:
5.9
10.D
Note to self: walking is dangerous. Next time crawl and maybe you won't get any more injured.
See what I mean Jeremiah? Princess Raindrop is a walking ego-check. She's mean man.
Brandon - seriously, is that the stance you want to take? We'll discuss this later. Suggestion: wear some body armor. Oh and one more thing... suck it.
No, I take it back :c(
Smart move, little B. ;-))
