TGIF



Workout tomorrow @ 10am at Cal Anderson Park. EVERYONE is invited. Please RSVP by call/text with Andrew @ (360) 908.9862.

Big events going on this weekend in Seattle. Carpool if you can!

Big congrats to Mr. Christopher Andrew Valle for passing his N-CLEX and becoming a certified Registered Nurse!


Not only did Andrew graduate from the University of Washington this year, but he's been CrossFitting regularly (two-a-days!) and was integral to building Foundation CrossFit into what it is now. That, and he's probably the gym's biggest cheerleader.


Congratulations man. WOOO! Male nurses!

If you were in the gym today, you learned (or refreshed with) the Turkish Get Up. You can use any sort of weight for this exercise: a kettlebell, a dumbbell, a barbell, a backpack, a water jug, your little sibling (no, really), any weighted implement.

I'll let Anthony of AoS/MoS give you a run down:

Let's review.
  • Eyes on the weight. Keep the arm locked out and reach for the sky.
  • He didn't talk about keeping the shoulders "packed". Keep your shoulder blades together the entire time.
  • Get up on your elbow forearm. You'll have better support.
  • Readjust your hands as needed. Remember: "PILLARS!"
  • Keep the arm locked out and reach for the sky.
  • Make sure you legs are spread out as much as possible for better stabilization.
  • BREATHE!
  • Keep the arm locked out and reach for the sky.
  • and finally keep the arm locked out and reach for the sky (get it yet?)
GET TO IT!
