CrossFit and CrossFit Kids Training Info

Interested in getting started on your own journey to looking better, feeling better, being stronger and overall happier and healthier?

I am a full time Coach and Trainer at CrossFit Tri-Cities in St. Charles, IL. I currently hold my NASM-CPT as well as my CrossFit Level 1, Kettlebell, Nutrition, Movement & Recovery and CrossFit Kids Certifications. I have 3+ years of coaching and training experience and for me this isn't a hobby, it's a career and a lifestyle. I believe in looking at all aspects of my clients' lives to better their health and wellness. Besides just the time in the gym I focus on nutrition and lifestyle with my clients. Everything from job related issues, sleep, physical activity (or lack of) and more is looked at to ensure that clients get the best possible plan to achieve results. I will never be the trainer to "guarantee" results because you get back what you put in. The amount of effort ultimately falls on the client, but I will help give you the roadmap and the motivation to get you where you want to be.

For more information, contact me about my Personal Training services as well as CrossFit Kids classes and Group Training classes at CrossFit Tri-Cities.

Oly lifts, PRs, Football & Ninja Shoes!

NINJA SHOES!

Thursday was a solid off day, especially since I needed it. Friday saw a solid Oly Total with plenty of room for improvement. Saturday I PR'd my Snatch Balance and had a great Team WOD. Sunday was another good off day. Today I bought some Vibram Fivefinger KSOs...it's been a good few days!

Friday

Strength: Oly Total
Snatch: 185
Clean & Jerk: 235
Total: 420
Snatch was #5 down from my PR and felt a little slow, but it was a good lift. C&J was #10 down from my PR, the Clean was awesome, the Jerk was legit, but my footwork SUCKED! I keep landing heavy jerks too narrow & end up walking them all over. Sounds like an invitation to get back to Performance Menu for 3-4 weeks!

No Metcon

Saturday

Strength: Snatch Balance 1-1-1
145
155
165 (#10 PR) 175 FAIL
170 FAIL
...both of the fails were the result of me chickening out, I got more in me!

WOD:
Football Sunday
60 Wall Ball, 60 Burpees = Touchdown
30 Thrusters #75, 60 Box Jumps 24" = Field Goal
20 Pullups by all team members = Extra Point
1st Half: 18pts (3 TDs)
2nd Half: 16pts (2 TDs, 1 FG, 1 Extra Pt)
Score: 34
Me, Eric A. & Mark2...kick ass work from all of my teammates!

The start to another great week!
