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 a stronger community. We are much less worried about being good at the sport of CrossFit.

Today's piece is all about having a long mix of cardio mixed with an emphasis of shoulder to overhead. So you will notice the hang clean numbers going down and the push press numbers going up.
