All of our clients had an opportunity to play with the Muscleup today. We were able to show them that the Muscleup isn’t necessarily about strength, but about coordination, and timing. The Rogue monsters then had the chance to use the Muscleup as part of our WOD. Great job tonight, remember to take care of those hands, you will need them for the rest of this week…..
Tonight everyone learned the Clean and Jerk! We worked on varying degrees of difficulty in the Level 1 & 2 Classes.
Well…how much can you handle? We have found the minimum number of classes to come to per week to see results is three or fours classes per week. On the other hand, you have Firebreathers like Sam who came to both the noon and Level 2 workouts today! Obviously not everyone will have that kind of work capacity (nor is it normally recommended), but the consensus definitely is; the more effort you put in, the more you get out.

Take a look at this crew!
Check out the new rope! This is after the Highland Games training!
Troy is getting better, watch out for the back Flip!
Tonight’s classes were great, it is great to see everyone make the improvements so quickly. I don’t think I can say any one person has made more progress than the other. The competition in the Level 2 class was great, Caroline beat her son J! If you ever want a testimonial, talk to her! Great work to the Thomas family!
Troy learning how to keep his balance on the Indo Board, we will keep posting videos as we get better. Don’t worry we are a long way off from having clients try any of this!!!!
I was bored the other day and decided to buy some Indo boards, now I am trying to figure out what to do with them. Eric jumped right on the board and fell right off, twice!
Now I am intrigued, somehow fit this into our Highland Games training. Throwing from the Indo Board?
Nathan Boyer is the new kid on the block, watch out! There is a rumor that he was doing dumbbell curls in our facility. Boyer you owe us 100 burpees!!!
We will start training for the CrossFit and Highland Games on Saturday! If you are interested, please contact an instructor.
Don’t forget if you have a friend that is interested in the program, we hold an intro class every Saturday at 11AM. We are also scheduling free 30 minute one on one intro sessions, please email bill@roguefitness.com if you are interested
The word of the day was…..STRICT. As a coach I have the opportunity to see people sometimes sacrifice the quality of a lift for the quantity. This is immediately apparent to me the moment I walk in a mainstream gym. Crossfit is an art, and just like any art, it takes great patience to perfect. Tonight we made great headway, many of our clients hit PR’s on their deadlifts. Not only that, but they found out what truly strict pushups and squats are. Great work to all of the levels tonight!

Great video of Doug’s entire class working on the deadlift!
Everyday I hear of people that think our workouts are too hard, they are only as hard as you make them. We teach functional movements that allow the women pictured above to look and feel stronger. I strongly encourage anyone that is interested to schedule a free 30 minute introduction session to learn more about our program. If it is for you then sign up, if not then hopefully you pursue some other physical activity!
If you would like one of the women that works out here to give you an introductory class, just email me. I am certain they would love to tell you about CrossFit and Russian Kettlebells.
We will be adding rowing classes and boot camp classes after the first of the year! Look for more information for the first ever Rogue 6 Week Boot Camp!
