Which one of these things doesn't belong?
Just kidding, Baby O is always welcome.
Today was a great day for East Sac at the unsanctioned Sac High weightlifting meet. Get your calculators out because some kilo business is heading your way (not that illegal kind). Tash PR'd both her snatch and clean and jerk going 42/57 and placing 3rd. Cherie went 50/70, which is a clean and jerk PR, at her first meet, AND placed 2nd!
Matt PR'd both also, going 83/110. (You can see him split snatching here, which the announcer was sure to mention was gaining traction in the CrossFit community. Notice he didn't say weightlifting community).
Huge thanks to Coach Kari for getting EVERYONE from East Sac to at least one LIFETIME PR (not just meet PR!). The rest of you missed out: super casual but well-run meet, and the opportunity to take a 4th attempt if you wanted, since it was unsanctioned. Some really fun lifting today!
Tuesday 6pm: Deficit deadlift, maybe with bands if you're looking awesome
Thursday 6pm: Floor press or bench press
Saturday 11am: Speed press + heavy, short metcon (ooh!) Have had some requests for a metcon thing in here, so expect a CF Football-type metcon to come your way at least on Saturdays (no promises that we'll have time T/Th).
RAE - why are you being shy?! I don't know what your total was because I'm not used to converting that much weight but you also had a huge PR in the C&J. I believe it was a 90kilos! Yes, do the math Crossfitters...that's a lot of poundage! Not to mention the 1st place finish. Way to lead us by example!
Anyone who hasn't tried a meet should give it a try. Kari is not only an awesome coach in class but walked us nervous, first timers thru everything...when to start warm up (it was more like when not to start as we were so anxious), what to lift for warm up, what slight technique adjustments to make, advice on what to open with and what jumps to make. All we had to do was show up and lift. Thank you Kari (and Rae for showing us how to get it done) for a great first time experience. What fun!
