If you want to impress ALL your friends at the next party you attend, then you definitely need to come in and deadlift. Lifting heavy stuff impresses people young and old! Ok, so that's a bit of a stretch...handstands are DEFINITELY cool though. Just ask the CrossFit main site and the 9,886 pictures of handstands they post. It's good to come in and play around with "stupid human tricks" and get your name on the record boards for your BEAST skills!

The workout yesterday was deadlifting 5 sets of 3. You're not going to believe this, but everyone did a great job! We had a bunch of people set new PR's, and every single one of you is developing better form. Brian set a new PR and was all non-chalant about it. I asked if it was a PR and he was all cool and smooth like, "yeah, it was...but ya know...it was pretty heavy". Yeah Brian...it's WEIGHTS. It's SUPPOSED to be heavy. Now gimmie five up top! (virtual high five)

I was approached by one of our newer CrossFitters, and he shared an amazing improvement with me. I am going to protect his privacy because I didn't officially ask his permission to share his story. This particular person had to side-step in order to go down a flight of stairs prior to starting with CrossFit Fire. His knees hurt him SO BAD that he had to come down the stairs like an 85yr old man. Last night he shared with me that his knees feel better than ever, and that he doesn't have to side-step the stairs anymore. If that isn't proof that squatting properly is GOOD for your knees, then I don't know what is. Seriously. What do you people WANT from me?! THAT'S PROOF!
