We do strength and conditioning. We do crossfit. An evolved version. A better crossfit. Meaning we do exercises that use our bodies instead of machines. We do those exercises, as hard as possible, and it changes daily to keep your body growing. To keep gaining strength and losing fat.
Simple, hard, and effective are the three principles that guide the decisions made. Variety for the sake of variety is not. And the program is modified to each and every individual, individually.
We use crossfit to better the lives of the people of Elk Grove. To make better humans, better parents, and stronger community And much less worried about being good at the sport of CrossFit.
Here is what is happening this week….

Week 2 of the 20 rep back squat program ya'll! Here's some important things for today:
1.) Make sure you add 5-10lb. more than what you did last week.
2.) If you failed last week for whatever reason, try that weight again or modify it to something you can hit.
3.) Shaking at about 14 reps in is normal and where the real mental toughness and results kick in :)
4.) GET FIRED UP AND DO WORK TODAY!!
Spend about 10min. working up to a HEAVY 2-3 Rep Max.
Then rest up and go for your 20 rep max!
*Be sure to truly hit that 2-3 Rep Max! It helps a TON in making that weight feel LIGHT on your 20 rep. Trust me, it is NEEDED.
For Time:
200 Ballslam (25/20lb.)
*At the top of every minute, complete 10 Alternating DB Snatches (50/35lb.)
*Start with Snatches
