Don't forget the Swimming Techniques Class

tonight at 6 pm at Orem Recreation Center.
Meet in the pool area. This will be a great class

with knowledgable instructors. Wether you
are a novice swimmer and need a lot of help, or
an advanced swimmer and just want to improve
your technique, this class will help. See you there!





World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Deadlift

3 . 3 . 3 . 3 . 3

Post loads to comments.



Steve has good form with a nice lumbar curve, shoulders
back, and hamstrings activated. The deadlift is the
skill of the month and such an important lift. Be sure
to watch the deadlift demo video above under links.

Now- watch this video link of a guy with terrible form. I think
this is the worst deadlift I've ever seen. It is hilarious!!!

SO1 Joshua Thomas Harris, 36, drowned during combat operations,
August 30th 2008 in Afghanistan. He is survived by his parents

Dr. Sam and Evelyn Harris,
and his brother Ranchor and twin sister Kiki

"Doing a Hero WOD makes us remember that these men were volunteers who CHOSE to put themselves in harm's way. We honor their memory by choosing to complete the WOD as best we can.
The Hero WOD's also should prompt some reflection on the concept of sacrifice and community. Even the most ardent Libertarians among us realize that there is a common good, something to which we all can and should contribute. There is a gratitude that each one of us should have for these people who serve to protect us. All jobs and all work has virtue; it has always seemed to me that those jobs that put one at risk (military, LEO, Firefighters) come with just a little more.
Lastly, each Hero WOD is an opportunity to remember the LIVING heroes among us, those who walk among us daily and those who walk in places far afield. Remembering and thanking the departed is a worthwhile endeavor to be sure. But the posting of a new Hero WOD is an invitation to thank these people while they are ALIVE. It is an invitation to do something concrete on their behalf or in their honor while they live. " --Darrell White (known as "Bingo" in the Crossfit community)
