“As an elite athlete, there are only five things that you can truly control — your training, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and mindset. If it doesn’t fall into one of those categories, I tell my athletes, forget about it. Control the things you can control, and ignore everything else.”
-Ben Bergeron
CFK Event Spotlight:
Shoulder Strength and Mobility Band Training
Why should I use Strength and Mobility Bands in my training?
Gaining stability and strength in overhead positions is critical to many of the movements we do in crossfit. Shoulder Strength and Mobility bands can also help restore postural issues. If you’ve ever overthrown a snatch, chances are that you have experienced discomfort in your scapula (shoulder blade). These bands not only assist the primary movers of the shoulder, but play a pivotal role in establishing control within the smaller muscles that stabilize the shoulder. Band training will allows you to shore up your weaknesses and provide a stable platform for your overhead movements. If you have any shoulder pain, the banded recovery series can assist in alleviation of shoulder pain. Both locations are now carrying strength and mobility bands for purchase! Get them before they are gone!

Weekly WODs:
Monday – Johnny Bravo
Want cartoon quality lats? We have you covered. We have heavy deadlifts, ring muscle-ups, and box jumps to start your week off. We’ll be recruiting a lot of muscle today while developing sound hinging mechanics, and challenging our strict pulling strength.
Tuesday – Bonding Experience
We highly encourage you to stretch after today’s WOD. We have a partner workout of calories on the bike or rower, syncronized walking lunges, and kettlebell front rack holds. We’ll stay syncronized on the lunges, but take turns cranking out calories on the bike.
Wednesday – Squat Day
The barbells should be slowing down this week as we build 5 more pounds. We’ll perform our regular squat cycle workout, and follow it up with a spicy conditioning workout of lightweight overhead squats, kickbacks, and knees to elbow.
Thursday – Burn Baby Burn
We’ll knock the dust off the ropes this week with an awesome ascending rep workout. If your looking to get a good upper body workout today’s conditioning workout will meet your needs. We have double unders, kettle-bell swings, and push-ups. Our goal is to scale the push-up efficiently today in order to stay moving!
Friday – Prioritize your Pacing
Our focus today is establishing proper pacing for different interval runs. We will be performing 2 alternating EMOMs. Get ready for lots of fast paced movement by performing interval runs, slam balls, box step ups, and dumbbell kickbacks.
Saturday Community WOD
Find a buddy and come to our free 9am workout. Our 14 minute workout includes a partner relay run, Russian swings, and wall balls. However, if you are visiting our North location get ready to row and perform thrusters during our CF2 workout.
Saturday L2 – Cancelled at West
Today’s workout will make you move large loads, long distances, quickly. We have thrusters and chest to bar pull-ups. We also have a challenging pre-workout buy-in. Each Athlete will have a 100 wall-ball buy-in before getting started on the pull-ups and thrusters. These are days we get better! Get after it!
