Pre-Order Your Friday Night Lights dinner HERE. Hang power snatch 3-3-3-3-3 repsthen, Press3-3-3-3-3Post loads to comments. Hello, My Name Is… Yesterday morning at the 5:30am class I saw a longtime athlete at Roots walk over to a brand new athlete in class and introduce herself.  As I watched this happen, I felt like it was unfolding in slow motion and instantly smiled. And, in my pregnant state, I got a little teary eyed (but no one saw it;) because this is one of my favorite things about Roots – that we’re small enough that folks notice a new face and, more importantly, that they take the initiative to say hello.

DON’T FORGET: LOG YOUR CROSSFIT OPEN SCORES! 10 225-meter row sprintsRest as needed between efforts.  Score fastest and slowest intervals. Introducing Midline March For the entire month of March we will be spending time in every class working on midline stability. Midline stability is the ability of the athlete to maintain a neutral spine – both statically and dynamically – resisting trunk flexion and extension.  Sounds easy on paper but trying to maintain an unmoving midline while snatching, kipping, pressing, or really doing any functional movement and it becomes easier said than done. Keep an eye out this month for a midline exercise during each class and stay tuned for an in-depth look at why we chose this endeavor for March!Read more
