Mike Burgener has been around the CrossFit community since the beginning and has made a tremendous impact on the performance of our Olympic lifts. Being that our WOD’s are dominated by complex lifts such as the clean (power and squat versions) and jerk, and the snatch (power and squat versions), it only makes sense that if you want to get better at CrossFit, you must get better at your Olympic lifts. Just think, it only takes 10,000 hours before you can be a master at Olympic weightlifting. If you want to see more instructional videos of Oly lifts from Coach B, he has a good collection on youtube.com.
We are still going to be offering paleo meals from CC Body Fuel at the gym. Unfortunately, the hard part is maintaining enough in the fridge without having them not get sold. An ordering system is in the works. Meanwhile, if you have tried a meal and have some feedback for Peter and Chris, please let them know on their blog. Thanks.

6 and 2/3…should have gotten 8 slowed down too much on burpees.
12 Minutes. Oh… and 6 rounds. I should have gotten 17 but I pretty much suck at burpees, among other things. Why is that list getting longer and not shorter?
Chuck im with ya! its like everyday i find something else im not very good at!
I had 7.5–I so should have gotten eight! Good thing Tiff was right there with me to keep me going. Every time I think I want to slow down (usually at the end of a workout) I see Tiff speeding up. Thanks for the motivation hon.
