WOD
It is Finished.
Congratulations you guys!! Be it your first Open, or your 13th, I hope you had a good time. It was (as always) a lot of work, but seeing you guys come together, take the workouts seriously, and crush it, is (also always) super rewarding. It’s motivating, and humbling personally as well. A whole slough of emotions man. Like where else can you come, join up, pay the money, and get people to gather around you and support you like this? Our pregger ladies, our masters athletes, our “gym bros”, and everyone in between, it’s pretty wild to think of how special the thing that we have inside these walls is. Thanks for making it a part of your life, and I’m proud to have made it mine.
I’m excited to have you guys smash it again Monday too! We’ve got a visitor coming to join you all at 6:00am! Stoked 🙂
Quarterfinals happens 17/18/19 of March, two weeks. Tudor is going to qualify to do these workouts, so look for him on the Games site, and on social media. He ended up 65th IN THE WORLD on the Thruster, with only 8 Men beating him on that workout. That really was great what we all got to watch!

Week 2 You Guys!
Alright, now we know the groove, AND this week it’ll be completely thrown off! But I’m SUPER STOKED! Tudor Magda (35th at the CrossFit Games last year, 1st at Zelos Games this year and 9th at Wodapalooza, LEGIT athlete) has agreed to come do the workout with us on Friday! It’s best for his training schedule, and all that.
Furthermore: Monday is Presidents Day! The irony of celebrating this nationally shouldn’t be missed. However we’ll have a reduced schedule that day, if the banks get it off, we’re gonna have two big classes and have fun with that, and then enjoy the day as well. Thanks! Monday will be 6am, and 4:15pm. It’ll be packed, I hope you can make it, and the workout is a BANGER!
Sorry guys, I know chaos reigns at times 🙂 So this week is actually “normal” as far as the Open is concerned. Tudor is gonna come out and do the workout at 4:15pm Friday time slot. Then we’ll bang away at the rest of the heats until we’re all done. I think it still might warrant a hang out session if peeps are up for that 🙂

Monday: “DT”. 5 Rounds for time of: Rx 155/105 12 Deadlifts, 9 Hang Power Cleans, 6 Push Jerks

Week 1 Here we go!
Hey guys! Here we go! I hope you’re registered and want to have fun with this 🙂 Scaled and Foundations workouts are really doable and fun, I plan on doing scaled versions, as shocking as it might sound my fitness is slipping a bit running two gyms simultaneously, and I don’t wanna burden myself with smashing everything in sight with zero regard for my post workout self! I’m also gonna be in Boise teaching this first weekend, booo. So here we go 🙂 Chaos as always, and loving every minute of it!
Things to remember: Thursday gymnastics day, toughest on the coach, cool and fun for you guys! Come play and have fun moving. Friday is the cool workout that everyone all over the whole world is doing! Saturday is TBA based on Friday’s mayhem, it get released Thursday at Noon, so we have time to plan each week, very cool.
Friday night will be a special atmosphere, if you wanna come have fun with the crew, come at 4:15pm TO THE LYNNWOOD GYM, plan to stay for a few hours, as there will be different heats of the workout, we’ll judge each other (through the workout, not like personally or anything) and it’s fine to be there if you’re doing scaled or foundations versions of the workout, all that good stuff. 100% Team, 100% Love!!
Friday night at Edmonds will be closed so that all the coaches can everyone can be at Lynnwood! Come, it’ll be fun, you rock 🙂
Workouts:
Monday: Tommy V For Time: 21 thrusters 115/80, 12 rope climbs 15′, 15 thrusters 115/80, 9 rope climbs 15′, 9 thrusters 115/80, 6 rope climbs 15′
Tuesday: Isabel
Wednesday: Back Squat x3’s
Thursday: Gymnastics Day
Friday: Open Week 1
Saturday: TBD
The Open is almost here!
Tried those treadmills yet?!?!!? I love it!
Here’s the scope of what’s happening for the Open! If you haven’t registered, you should really think about it, it’s $20, which if you’re worried about “wasting money on something like this” let’s go ahead and check over that last Costco/Target receipt with a little more scrutiny 🙂 It allows you to put in your scores, which doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a cool think we get to do for only three weeks each year to be a part of the greater CrossFit experience rather than simply hanging out in our little corner of CrossFittendom.
Weekly schedule: the workouts are announced Thursday nights at like 5:00pm, so with that in mind (no I don’t have a secret squirrel hook up), Friday’s are the day that the gym will generally do the workout. Remember that they have legitimate rules as far as spacing, lines, reps etc. That have to be adhered to (which I think is really cool, for three weeks) so the set-up can often be quite onerous. Be ready for that!
ALSO: Friday Nights are the big nights for the Open workout, we did them all at Lynnwood last year, and I though that was really cool! Let’s plan on that again, and join forces and have fun!
Furthermore, Thursdays become Gymnastics Days! This has become our tradition, I think it’s great. It allows us to try cool human tricks that we otherwise might not devote any time towards throughout the year. But since we have no idea what Friday is, what are we gonna do? It’s perfect. Be excited for gymnastics day, come try things, experiment, and get better at controlling you!
That all starts next week. This week however is a regular ole’ beatdown session courtesy of your own evil mastermind 🙂
Monday: Lynne
Tuesday: Press Max 1 -then- Randy
Wednesday: 3 Rounds: Row 1000 rest as needed
Thurday: Elizabeth
Friday: Overhead Squat x5
Saturday: Teams of 3 like FGB
5 Rounds for Reps
Horizontal Ring Rows
Lunges
Ab Mat Sit-ups
The End of January?
How is that possible. We literally just got here. I’m not going to break down the workouts this week. Not for mystery’s sake, but because you should know them by now!! Maybe not Nate, but Fran and Fight Gone Bad should be known entities. There, I’m shoulding on you and the week hasn’t even started yet! The horror.
Also: cool things happening to our little gym that could! If you haven’t signed the shirt boards that’s there, please do, I want to put that up Wednesday when I’m there this week. It’s an Homage to time passed for you veterans who grew up under Morgans rule and have been willed on to His Benevolence, Jesse Ward III Esquire (HAHHAHA, I couldn’t resist). So please sign it and it’ll remain a cool piece on our wall for years to come. Gear gear and more gear! You’ve hopefully noticed the ski erg we got, I picked up an Echo Bike in a similar fashion last weekend, so we can all enjoy that, and there will be more toys coming as soon as they can from Ohio, and other fine places. The gym will be reorganized a little bit to accommodate, but in the end you guys will be the benefactors of this, and it’ll result in better workouts, with more options, more scaling options, and more skill creation! Needless to say, muscle creation as well 🙂 During the week we’re closed in April we’ll be doing a lot more work again, hanging stuff on walls, some lights (I don’t think all yet), it’s gonna be sick. I’m stoked, I hope you guys are too, and we’ll cruise through 2023 in style, looking sharp and being IN SHAPE for the summer. Lastly, remember that all this cool stuff, sure I’m the one who clicks on it all to buy it, and has the mad-scheming that creates it sure, but it all comes from you guys in two ways: 1) the need for it, you drive my choices on what to get, what will benefit us the most and 2) you pay dues! It’s the capitalist in me or something, but this whole thing doesn’t work without your dues and without you telling your friends what’s happening and how good it is so we grow. Yes I do think this little gym has a limit to how many members we can really support, but if we actually could approach that limit, we could so some amazing things, from an events standpoint, from sponsorships, to construction projects, the sky is the limit!
Thanks, and I’m stoked 🙂
