The CrossFit Basic Barbell Certification was a great learning experience. Mark Rippetoe is a phenomenal coach, and his staff did a great job! I would recommend this certification to anyone interested in the olympic lifts, especially anyone interested in opening their own affiliation. The two-day certification was well structured, well organized and focused heavily on how to coach the olympic lifts. Bill and I met a lot of great people. A special thanks to Eric Strohacker of the Indianapolis Fire Department for forwarding me the group picture!

CrossFit is making a GRAND appearance in both this month's "Men's Journal" and "Muscle & Fitness" magazines. There are two VERY cool articles that do CrossFit more justice than Virginia Heffernan's article in the NYT. Pick up a copy! READ IT!

Bill and I attended a USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach certification over the weekend. It was very informative. We really hammered away at the olympic lifts and how to properly teach the movements. We met a few fellow CrossFitters at the certification and even made a trip up to CrossFit Milwaukee's facility. If anyone is ever traveling up in Milwaukee, stop by and meet Ryan!
