Click here to support project safe crossfit flooring organized by Kyle Douglass

gofundme.com We are outdoor, deployed Location military affiliate providing Crossfit through all volunteer coaches for about the last 10+ years to people of all services and nations. We are in desperate need of safe flooring to provide clean and safe work out space for our people. Our goal is purchase this...

Just ordered these. They should be here in about 2 weeks.

Set your bar higher with the new Eleiko IWF Weightlifting 100 kg Disc.

As the worldwide leader in professional weightlifting, Eleiko is very proud to announce the new Eleiko IWF Weightlifting 100 kg disc. We are pushing the boundaries in terms of what is possible with one of the most essential weightlifting items.

With this unique 100 kg disc, we challenged ourselves to innovate on a different scale; the new disc has the exact same dimensions as our existing 25 kg IWF disc but now weighs 4x as much. We have worked with materials experts from different industries including aerospace and mining, to come up with a solution that encapsulates osmium granulates within the rubber composite. Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element on earth, with a density of 22.59 g/cm3 (twice as dense as lead).

The new disc allows for lifting on a completely different level. An Eleiko IWF Weightlifting Competition Bar can now be loaded up to 1,030 kg as per the IWF loading schedule. This eliminates any physical and mental barriers for lifters to reach their maximum performance.

The new colour has been agreed in close collaboration with the sport’s governing body, The International Weightlifting Federation. Orange, the blend between red and yellow, is a mixture of the energy associated with red and the happiness associated with yellow. Orange stands for joy, warmth, sunshine, freedom, happiness and determination. We want lifters to be strong and happy and nothing can inspire that more than orange discs.

We also anticipate that orange will shortly become a status colour within professional weightlifting as it will demonstrate a certain level of proficiency and strength. When a fellow lifter can answer “Yes” to the natural question “Are you orange?”, you know that they are a real lifter.

To all lifters out there: keep beating those records and stay strong and happy!

Remember that time...

Ben Bergeron

Strong coaches excel at (1) seeing and correcting, (2) presence and attitude, (3) teaching, (4) demonstration, and (5) managing groups. But there is also a powerful, yet harder to define aspect, that out ways all the others combined, and that is your ability to read, understand and "get" your athletes.

Click here to support Crossfit Undisclosed Uplift organized by Sebastian Paz

Our deployed warriors need your help! CrossFit Undisclosed is located in a parking lot completely outside and exposed to the elements. The harsh environment has significant wear and tear on the equipment and makes it extremely difficult to maintain. All of the equipment has either been donated, built by previous athletes, or obtained as "throw away" equipment from the base fitness center. CF Undisclosed operates independently of the base and the base fitness center and all the coaches are volunteers. If you can spare a little, please consider supporting.

gofundme.com We are raising funds for our box Crossfit Undisclosed. This is a deployed location for all branches of the United States military, as well as for coalition/friendly forces. Hundreds of men and women come through here and are united in this community. For some of us, this has become our home away...

The Perfect Pull Sports Performance

This coaching is too much. This coaching is not enough. This coaching is just right.

Most of you know the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. If not, here’s a brief summary: Goldilocks wanders from home and finds the house of three bears. She’s hungry and tired so she enters the house. Upon entering she finds bowls of porridge; one is too hot, one is too cold, and one is just right. After eating the porridge, she then lays in all of their beds; one is too hard, one is too soft, and one is just right. [ 726 more words ]

These aren't the droids you're looking for...

You sometimes have to play tricks on yourself in order to get through some of those tough CrossFit workouts. One of my go-to strategies is developing a rep scheme that keeps me moving without reaching muscle failure. I’ve seen it fairly often when athletes hit muscle failure and can’t complete a rep, those negative thoughts start to rush in and they take more time than necessary to recover before the next attempt.

Commitment to Being Better

Are you committed to becoming better? Or are you committed to the idea of becoming better? The difference is that one is never satisfied with their level of performance and continually strives to be better while the other continually comes up with excuses for not performing better. Excuses take on several forms from blaming the weather for their poor performance, not performing the full range of motion, to shorting their reps to get a “better” time. [ 735 more words ]

Focus on your breathing in order to focus on your performance.

Three breaths—that’s all you can take when taking a break during a work out. Those breaths can be as long or as short as you need them, but you can only take three then you have to get back to work. Breathing is involuntary so many of us believe no thought should go into breathing because we simply breathe all the time. [ 371 more words ]

The word "can't" is a burpee offense.

The word “can’t” is a burpee offense when I’m coaching. Some might think I’m childish for enforcing such an arbitrary rule, but I don’t think so. To me the word “can’t” means “won’t”. Stating you “can’t” do something is equal to saying you are unwilling to do something or even attempt to do something. “I can’t do double unders.” “I can’t lift that much weight.” [ 416 more words ]

Better is Better.

Let’s get things straight. More is NOT better! Some of my athletes firmly believe that if they do more, they’ll get better. They’ve seen the results of what an effective program can do and want more—that’s fantastic. But they want the results now. They can’t wait. So they believe if they just add more to their daily workout, they’ll get better. [ 521 more words ]
