Domination, period.
Did anyone see Shaun White dominate the men’s halfpipe? He is that good, period. What was comical is listening to the commentators debate whether he would perform his last run, which was completely unnecessary because he had locked up the gold medal. Seriously, it looked like just another day on the slopes for Shawn, him nailing his last run was no big deal, it was play time. And questioning whether he would do it? C’mon, he loves to ride, and he not only did the last run, but absolutely killed it! The guy truly is that good.
I type away, as I do every evening with the Olympics playing in the background. It’s been pretty amazing to be here, I hope all of you are enjoying it. A week into the games, and the gym is starting to feel lonely….. I hope all of you not here are having fun. Your Crossfit family have been asking about you…..

Skills:
Overhead Squat
5-3-3-1-1-1-1
Seriously, if you have issues in your squat, you can hide from them in the front squat and back squat. But there is no hiding HERE!!!! Shoulder issues aside, it’s time to face your weakness here. ALL squats must be below parallel, period. If you address your squat with weight overhead, it makes every other squat easier!
WOD:
“Cloud Nine”
3 rounds
45 seconds work
15 seconds rest
Box Jump 24″/20″
Wall Ball 20#/14#

I want you guys to know that while I don’t miss you, I do miss kicking your asses and I will be back making you all suffer in less than 2 weeks.
BTW saw Christine Nesbitt win gold at the Oval yesterday. Awesome to be there. I think those ladies just might be able to squat more than me.

And how about Anja Paerson? Massive crash in the downhill and comes back with a bronze in the combined. I couldn’t believe she was walking after that crash.
And Ru, looks like front squats are in for downhillers’

Bruce, where’d you find that pic? She is squatting a stick.
It’s a pretty tight race whether speed skaters or ski racers have the biggest quads. Either way Ru, with the way your squats were looking a couple of weeks ago, you can challenge them for sure!
And since i know you’re at meadow park, you should do Mads’ workout from wednesday…..

Jordan,
I couldn’t find anything of her with a weight so I guess a stick will have to do.

and you’re right. Crash in one race, and bronze in the next. One of the most impressive things to date. That is a warrior.
