Triple OG Sweatshirt Status – Carl Case

By: 0

Hey everyone,
I wanted to give everyone an update on the sweatshirts, and the reasons for the delays. First, smalls and mediums were on back order, and we had to wait on those. Now we are having a problem with the printing and the material that we picked. During the screen printing process it is discoloring the sweatshirt. Chet has been trying to work with the manufacture to figure out what the problem is. If they figure out what the problem is and can fix it we will proceed as normal. If not we will have to switch sweatshirts, most likely to a solid black. We could heat press the sweatshirts like the samples, but don’t feel like it is the same quality as the screen print. We want to ensure that you are going to get the best quality.
Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the delay.
- Carl Case

Should I be taking a supplement? Part I

By: 0

Should I be taking a supplement? Part I-CFSB Wellness Wednesday This is the first part of a multi-part series on whether you should be taking a supplement. In this first video, we'll discuss some of the most important questions to ask when deciding whether to take a supplement or not: 1. Who are you? What are you trying to do (i.e., what are your goals)? 2. Is this supplement something you could get from food? 3. How long are you planning to supplement? 4. What is the purpose of this supplement? By figuring out the answers to these questions, you'll be able to answer the question "Should I take a supplement?" for yourself any time you're thinking about taking a supplement. Short on time?

Notes: Strict Press - don't move them legs or it doesn't count! Modifications: If you are new and unfamiliar with the Full Clean, stick to a front squat. Scaling is 60 singles for the 30 doubles. Goals for the wod - Pick a weight you feel comfortable squatting for 10 on the squat cleans. Both your partner and you will have finished 3 rounds each at the end. Try to stay consistent on your times from round to round[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 3.22.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 3.22.16 A. 20 minutes to establish a Romanian Deadlift Heavy 5 B. 30 - 20 - 10 for time Ball Slams 40/30 Hand Release Push Ups Pull ups Score is time
Notes: For the romanian deadlift, think of this as a top down movement, rep starts at the top, heads down until you have peak tension on the hamstring, finishes back at the top. If your back position is off, the coaches are directed to pull you backing weight by 20% for your next set, you can then move up by 5% each time, only if you can demonstrate a good back position for each rep. Scaling: Weight on the ball slams, moving to incline on the pushups, and ring rows on the pull ups.

Score is total number of WALL BALLS - the burpees do not factor in
Notes: Breaking a set in the wall balls means, pausing the cadence of the movement for any reason - dropping the ball, staying at the bottom position, stopping in the standing position.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Friday 3.25.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Friday 3.25.16 A.
