Take it to em’

Brian Hack | 09/09/2012 | 14

First off I want to congratulate Coach KP on her very first CrossFit competition, as well as Cal and Shorty,  all of which were at te Garage Games this past weekend. I’m sorry I could not be there but I know you guys killed it! Pictures to come!

CrossFit Somerville comes out to support Yosh at his Oly event

Secondly, Thanks to everyone who came out and supported me yesterday at the New England Weightlifting Championships. I had an absolute blast and I couldn’t have done it without all of your support and well wishes. It was a great afternoon and I did pretty well for my first competition. Placed Second in my weight class (69kg) with a finishing Snatch at 78kg (171.6 lbs) – I Snatched 87kg (191.4 lbs) but it wasn’t counted due to a slight press out. And a finishing Clean and Jerk of 112kg (246lbs). I then found out that I missed qualifying for Nationals by one lift! I am pretty fired up. But without all of you there’s no way I would have done as well. Thank you.

Rome, Gary, and Yosh

A big shout out to Rome (my friend and coach) and Gary Valentine. Congrats to Rome for winning his weight class and thank you for having me be one of your athletes. Gary, without you today I’m sure things would not have gone as smoothly. You’re an awesome coach and I look forward to working with you again.

    Great job to everyone that competed especially to the Somerville Crew! Love the Pink Deep V-Necks! Where do I get one?

      Jaime & I had high hopes for those Pink Deep V-Necks but we had some technical difficulties and probably a service order or two for some printers at Staples – ooops… We’re working on getting the original design printed so there will be more Pink Deep V-Necks in the future for Crossfit Somerville!

    Congrats to all of the competitors this weekend!! I can’t wait to hear the stories from your competitions.

    Attention football fans (and people who just like fun)!! I’m leading a group over to the Independent after the evening workouts tomorrow to watch Monday Night Football and have some delicious food and beverages. Come on over to hang out after you work out, or head back to Union Sq if you worked out in the morning. Hope to see you there!!

    WOD: 4x + 10 (full set) @ 75#. knees to elbows improving with less-random-than-usual hanging rhythms.

    Hit the big 200# mark on my deadlifts tonight! It was more like 2 reps then 3, so I guess I really only had 185# for 5, but I’m taking the PR!

    WOD: 3 + 14 @ 65#, T2B, 20″… got some extra T2Bs in there because I’ve been trying to get better about reps with integrity, but I didn’t like it one bit.

    DL 150# PR
    WOD – 3 + 19 at 55#

    Fuck you Toes to Bar, you can suck my dick – (the part of the WOD that slowed me down most here is obvious)
