Today's CFT Clinic was awesome! It is not too often we get the privilege of witnessing so many personal records being set at one time. It's incredible that almost everyone got at least 2 PRs. Sue got 3! And Miguel (as seen in the picture above) even set a deadlift PR 50 pounds over his previous best! Wow. This was the first time I've been able to see most of you lift heavy weights and I am impressed to say the least. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped create such a good time.
**Also, I think we all set a PR for most # of Crossfitters in the Rec Center at one time.

Look at the determination!
Casey Burgener (Mike Burgner's son) will be going to the this year's Beijing Olympics
Bill and Faith will be leaving Pittsburgh and heading to Boston and visiting Crossfit Boston. Huff claims that this picture was taken after one hell of a workout at Crossfit Pittsburgh. By the faces of some of those crossfitters around them, I'll believe him. Those Pittsburghers look tough. Too bad they haven't been able to compete with the West!
Matt has nice form on his squats. In this picture, observe how low the bar is on Matt's shoulders and how high his elbows are.
Huff and Faith have been having a great time in Pittsburgh. When they are not spending time with Bill's family, they have been hitting up Crossfit Pittsburgh. They have a very friendly facility. In fact, they have even requested Huff to help teach some group classes as well. How cool is that?? I'll keep you updated about their trip to the East as best as I hear more.

Whether you are a novice lifter or you have been lifting your whole life, I highly recommend reading Starting Strength by Mark Rippoetoe and Lon Kilgore. It is extremely informative and descriptive on the back squat, the deadlift, the press, the bench press, and the powerclean. Not only that, it is written very clearly so that anyone could understand it. So what are you waiting for???...go get it!
