Lady Lifters

/

One of my favorite things to do is lift with friends. The triumphs, the frustration, the chalk...it's just all better when you get to share it with people you like and are inspired by. Here are two gals that I know love lifting together.

For all you lady lifters out there (and for you guys who would like to better understand us) here is a great article that Kelly shared with me. I can't figure out how to make it a link, so you just have to copy and paste the URL. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Weightlifting/Media/The-Wednesday-Word/Wednesday-Word-07-09-14

JOHNNY KANE UPDATE: Today was the 3rd and final day for John at the CF Games. The first event was a chipper and eventhough John had to do wall balls while staring straight into the sun, he had a strong 5th place finish. The final event was a sprint which involved a 100m run, C2B pull ups and snatches at 115#. John came in 11th on that event to bring him to a 9th place finish overall. That means he is among the top 10 FITTEST 60+ GENTLEMEN IN THE WORLD! Pretty impressive. We couldn't be more proud of you John!! Thank you for representing CFSCC so well.

Tripod

Little gallery from this morning. The first shot is of Tim in the "start/finish" position we practiced today. The second one is of him in the bottom "tripod" position that we also worked on. Next two shots are of the front and back of the 8am class. And of course some Johnny Kane love to finish the gallery off. 

JOHNNY KANE UPDATE: John had another great day today. He finished 6th in both of his events; the first was a variation on the very first Games workout ever including a 1k row and 5 rounds of 15 pull ups and 7 jerks. The second event was a medicine ball clean and burpees in the heat of the day. John is holding strong in 9th place going into his third and final day. Stay strong Johnny!! We're all rooting for you.
