NO MORE PULLED HAMSTRINGS!

DO ALL DIETS FAIL?

Bill Starr, 1938-2015” – CrossFit Journal [article]   Bill Starr was one of my favorite Olympic Lifting coaches/writers.  We posted his article, Stability Nowon April 6th.

Workout of the Day
Hang Snatch with 2 pauses
First,  2-second pause above knee
Second,  2-second pause in overhead squat
Note: Go by feel for weight.  Do NOT exceed 80% of your Hang Snatch 1-rep max.  Well executed technique and control is the idea of this lift/drill.  Improve your technique before going up in weight.

10 ring dips
10 V-ups
10 burpee box jumps 24/20″

Post your scores to the Whiteboard.

    Kelly,
    Allow me to guide you through the name game:
    There are 4 Johns/Jons we’re dealing with on a regular basis.
    There are 2 Jons, a “B” and an “F”.
    There are 2 Johns, an “H” and an “M”.
    Jon F. comments fairly regularly with very short, often one word comments. John H. comments often and is usually hilarious. Jon B. comments semi-regularly with witty content. John M. NEVER comments because he would never stoop so low as to address us common folk even though he is witty.

    So there you have it, a complete users guide to the Johns/Jons of CrossFit Suffolk.

    You’re welcome!

    Thanks for the clarification George! Lmao!

    And I think it’s the picture that has thrown me off.

    Users guide to Johns/Jon has been very informative

    Much thanks and entertainment

    Glad I can shed some light on our topic. It’s all about the enterTRAINing for me. Thanks for being a good audience!

    John H. had the best comment in the thread, by the way, with the very laconic, “I wouldn’t”…he didn’t even use a period. Classic!

    Good times. Good times.
