The team getting after it last week at Lumberjack!! Well done you burpee loving bastards!!
Great job on the front squats today - you guys really got in there and got after it! If you got all of your last set of three, you need to start heavier next time.

OK, here is the schedule for the next few weeks. Erin will program Friday and all of next week. I begin an exercise this weekend so I will try to come in and assist as I can.
Brandon will take the following week's programming, as I'll be totally out of the net in a shooting competition and Dave is still tied up with training.
Joel and Dave will assist as they are able and Any will be able to assist next week but will be involved in the exercise the following week.
Do you guys realize we now have a total of 6 trainers available? You have no idea how fortunate we are! It's also good for you guys as each trainer brings some different experiences to the table and you guys can learn something from each of them - just makes us all better as a CrossFit community.
Leslie is scheduled to go to the Level 1 cert in July and Reagan is also looking to get certified. One thing the trainers can look at doing is assigning a movement to be covered and letting Leslie and Reagan instruct it under the trainer's supervision. This will help prepare them for their cert and for when they start working with a group. Another thing to work with them on is scaling. As you scale, talk to them about your rational, ask them how they would scale and why, let them suggest some scaling? We want to mentor and continue to grow good CrossFit trainers and exercise virtuosity so we build capable athletes.
One thing I think we trainers benefit from is the randomness of the class. We never know exactly how many will show up or the capacity of all the individuals. As a result, we have to adjust once we get to class. Running a class of 10 people with known skill levels is a breeze. Adjusting on the fly to a class of 24 with 7 new people requires some thought. I think this makes us more capable trainers as it keeps us from getting too comfortable. We should continue to grow and improve as well.
OK, enough rambling!

Since Erin is programming everyone needs to get their game faces on:) No crying!
That's right! She's going to bring the pain!! :-)
Brandon good work on the squats...
You ROCK DON!
I like the idea of instructing with supervision...wow, is it next month already>
Anyone know if the VA covers the cert? I TOTALLY want to get certified but I really like the thought of my GI Bill picking up the tab:)
I asked Erin to meet me at the gym this AM, she's has "something" up her sleeve...I'm scared!!!!
