Today’s workout involved sprints and push jerks! Sometimes a simple coupling of movements can produce a tough workout.
All the athletes did extremely well with the deadlift strength session. Tonya put 25lbs on her previous PR of 200
She always looks around for approval after a lift, awesome job!
J using the new log instead of the bar during the Level 3 workout today. Thrusters are not fun with this bad boy!
Sunday’s all level workout was 2 person team event that involved a little strategy and teamwork. Cara linked up the teams and they were off to the races. Rowing, running, pushups and pullups. NICE JOB AMY AND KELLY FOR BRINGING IT HOME.
Kevin Mueller won the Master’s class with a total of 225kilos! Nice work, we will post some pics later of the event along with pictures of his forehead that he split open!
What a great ending to a great week here at Rogue. We have had some great workouts all week, and today was no different. The intensity in the gym has been off the charts.
Don’t forget to come cheer on our Rogue athlete Kevin Mueller at the Fairgrounds tomorrow. He starts his lifts at 2pm!
When it is 4th and inches… run the ball behind Ironman!!
The whole group worked hard tonight..keep up the work!
Working on some light back squats today!
A couple of weeks ago the Rogue athletes did a workout involving pull-ups using the CrossFit games standards, chest to the bar. If you weren’t able to do the pull-ups, chest to bar, they were still scored but you had “NC” written by your time. The “NC” means “no chest” or that you did the pull ups but you didn’t touch your chest to bar every rep. Apparently Shane got a “NC” beside his score. Shane didn’t agree with the “NC” charge. Well today Shane showed everybody at Rogue what he is truly capable of. Shane executed 22, strict dead hang pull-ups touching his chest to the bar on every single repetition!! Way to go!
One of our own, Brendan Devine is leaving us next week to pursue a career in medicine. Brendan will be attending Wright State University medical school. He has worked hard since he walked through the door and became a fire breather in a short period of time. From the entire crew here at Rogue, GOOD LUCK!
Brendan leading the entire crew tonight.
Dennis and crew came in from the Whitehall FD today. These guys and gals are the heart of our noon class!
We just found out that one of our star athletes Tonya is the descendant of the famous Sechler’s pickles, checkout the history here: http://www.sechlerspickles.com/pages/history.html
Every once in awhile you have to sit back and think to yourself why you chase perfection in life. No one is ever perfect, but you can get as close to it as you want. If you work at something hard enough, and spend enough time doing it, you will get there. Here at Rogue, our athletes work every day at getting that perfect lift or a perfect workout. Wanting to perform the best that one can gives our athletes a reason to reach their goals. Today, it was all about the perfect clean, and at some point during each workout, they all got it!
Sam en route to the perfect clean.
You made me proud to be a trainer tonight Cody! 115lbs for the entire workout!!!!!!!
Derrick making the workout look easy.
Kevin Mueller is competing on Saturday at the Ohio State Fair, here is the schedule: http://www.columbusweightlifting.org
Kevin will lift at 2PM
Please come out and support one of our most elite athletes in his bid to secure the Masters comp!
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen! The only difference is Kevin’s boys would go over and sock someone in the head after completing their reps.
