Free Saturday Group Workout
We’ll be having a long overdue “Suffer on Saturday” style workout on May 5th, at 2 pm. Show up to workout and have fun!
Last night, we worked on overhead squats in the 7pm class. Steve on the way down.
Sue on the way up.
XX bails out!
Strongman Day
The weather is finally starting to get nice, and we took advantage of it today. Tire flips, sprints, farmer’s walks, and walking swings were a part of today’s fun.
Swipes
Here is one of my favorite exercises, the swipe. It combines an explosive contraction of the posterior chain during the swing component, followed by an explosive contraction of the “anterior chain” in the cast portion. This develops great core strength, is a potent metabolic stimulus, and needless to say, builds a strong grip.
Going Heavy
7 rounds, full rest:
Clean X 1
Weighted Pullup X 1
Deep Handstand Pushup X 1
Here, Bill goes for 100 lbs, and Aaron starts the pull under on 175.
You Pick It Tabata Intervals
Pick four or five exercises. Eight rounds of Tabita intervals will be done with each exercise. This was a fun workout. Check out some of the ugly combinations people came up with….

CFPDX to Host Performance Menu Olympic Lifting Seminar
CrossFit Portland is excited to be hosting an Olympic Lifting seminar put on by Greg Everett and Aimee Anaya of Catalyst Athletics/The Performance Menu on Saturday & Sunday June 7-8, 9:00am - 4:00pm
The Olympic lifts develop unparalleled explosiveness for athletes of all types, but because of their relatively great technical complexity, they are often performed incorrectly, limiting their effectiveness, or even avoided entirely.
For more information and to register, visit the Olympic Weightlifting Seminar page at the Performance Menu.
