CrossFit Steam was where it was at today! Thanks for being great hosts and even bigger thanks for bringing the good vibes. This was a fun group to say the very least. Looking forward to my next visit in the months to come!

14.3 is upon us! You only get 8 minutes to get through this WOD so movement efficiency and transitions are extremely important. Here are your tips and tricks to make 14.3 fly as smoothly as possible:
1. Set your station up so that you are toggling back and forth between your deadlift station and box jump station. It should be no more than a 180 degree turn and you’re ready to transition to your next movement.
2. Line (do not stack) your plates next to your bar in the order that they will be used.
Skill, strength, stability. Which piece(s) are suffering for you? Playing around with the clean to sots press will illuminate deficiencies leaving weaknesses no where to hide. Go seek and destroy.

Great work for the FuBarbell team this weekend at the Hassle Free Open and Invitational.
Pat Griffin (@paddygriffin) went 5/6 with 87kg/115kg. This was a PR total and lifetime PR on the clean&jerk.
Katie Fiscalini (@katiefisc) went 4/6 with 62kg/74kg. This was a PR total and lifetime PR on the snatch.
Kristin Newman (@dancefightlift) went 4/6 with 82kg/105kg. This is 4kg above her total at The American Open positioning her well for Nationals this July.
For those of you who enjoyed my podcast with the @barbellshruggedpodcast boys, here’s another one with Nick Horton, “The Iron Samurai”, from Weightlifting Academy.
I got a chance to meet Nick a few years ago at The American Open and have since been following his work in the weightlifting world. He’s a great guy and even better coach. This was a fun hour plus that we just got to hang out and banter about all things gym.
