Yellie, Buzz, and Skimmy knock out Tabata Somethin’ Else in our first group class! Good job ladies!

20 sec work 10 sec rest for 4 min per exercise. 4 exercises. Keep track of the lowest rep count per exercise. Highest total wins.

Andrew and Mark dropped by while in town for a Draft party later. We whipped up a little FGB for them. Mark works out at CrossFit Hoboken, and they certainly are training him well! Andrew experienced his first CrossFit workout, and finished all three rounds! Awesome effort by both men!

Up and down. Kayla cranks out some wallball shots.
The key is to use the legs. Women throw a 14lb ball 8ft high . Men a 20lb ball 10ft high.
One athlete’s remark on his first time: “Who the hell thought of this!”

Now we can go beyond that 302lb deadlift! WooHoo! Ordered a pair of rubber 10lb and 25lb.
Also picked up a Flip UltraHD camcorder to capture those moments of max effort and triumph! Watch for video posts soon!

It’s not until Oct 25th, but we can’t “weight”. (lol)
We’ll learn from one of the top coaches in the country!
We can’t wait to pass on the knowledge we’ll get!

He has several nationally ranked lifters currently active in the sport, to include the 2008 Junior National Champion, and the 2008 Senior National silver medalist in the 105+ (superheavyweight) class. Coach Wilkes coaches the Air Force’s first World Class Athlete in 20+ years, Norm Fulk. Coach Wilkes’ team OBX Weightlifting was the ’07 American Open 1st place team and the ’08 National’s 2nd place team. Team OBX also has a very good and competitive master’s (over 35 years old) team with both Male and Female lifters.

Griffy shows great form with elbows up.
