    From the CrossFit/Brand X forums, in regards to how to approach today’s workout:
    ————–
    Today, everyone is a Big Dawg! Do the WOD as RX’d. If you are unfamiliar with the movements watch the videos and then use a weight that will allow you to do the WOD.

    ————–
    I would add that even if you are familiar with the movements (as anyone who trains with us at the Box is) I still recommend watching the videos. Visual reinforcement of proper technique can be rather helpful in rehearsing the movements mentally before coming down to the Box to actually attempt them.
    In addition, let me suggest you wear weightlifting shoes or Chuck Taylors (or other hard-bottomed shoes) rather than typical running shoes with thick padding. It will definitely help with these lifts (and any weightlifting moves, for that matter).

    Kirk,
    Holy cow is right. Looks like trouble in paradise, but can’t say I haven’t smelled it brewing. IMO there’s been a lot of discontent with some of the institutional issues surrounding CF. That being said, I think the CF 101 lectures Glassman has been doing have been a means to address them and gauge the overall climate.
    Email me at gabriel dot sganga AT gmail if you want to discuss further.
    Also, where are you? I’m in town till Sunday.

    Still having overhead issues… left shoulder seems to not be engaging properly and the bar path is too much of an arc and was ending up behind me when overhead.
    Not much going right so I backed off a lot to work on form.
    Should’ve started a bit lighter on the press too.
