Semifinals bound 🚀

During a period where the focus has been work and studying and a little less training, Gemma still smashed it and has qualified for semifinals!

Your CrossFit parents are very proud of you 👏

Let’s make sure this gal has a belt on hand always in June.

It’s been a hell of a few weeks for 💪

When he told me at the start of the year he wanted to hit a back squat PB and also prepare for Hyrox in March, we knew it would take balance, and sensible programming.

Over the past few months we have been:
• Rebuilding squat mechanics (tempo jail) and confidence after a knee injury late last year
• Moving through a dedicated squat rebuild cycle
• Building a solid running base
• Reintroducing snatches and overhead pressing after a long standing shoulder issue

The main goal was to stay injury free, build fitness, and enjoy training again. We focused on prioritising 2 squat sessions and 2 runs a week alongside the rest of his program, showing that you can build strength and endurance at the same time.

In just the past few weeks, Dan has:
• Back squatted 215kg (+15kg PB)
• Front squatted 185kg (+10kg PB)
• Competed in his first CrossFit comp in over a year and smashed wall walks
• Completed Hyrox with with the running feeling smoother and easier

And a few bonus wins:
• First ring muscle up (off program but worth it!)
• Kipping gymnastics back in training
• Snatches and cleans back in

Next up, we will keep building back into CrossFit shape steadily, stay healthy, and keep the momentum rolling.

Strategy is everything for 26.3.

Play the long game and keep your heart rate under control.

It’s possible to get to the heavy bar! You just have to be sensible and not blow up at the start. Once you do, go for broke and full send. 🏋️‍♂️🔥

Good luck!!

Huge shout out to the crew for some massive wins in 26.2 this past week! 🔥
The work behind the scenes is paying off:
* - Smashed the workout in 13:37. Those hours spent on the rings are showing!
* - Conquered all 20 C2B after doubting they were even in the tank.
* - Stringing together big sets of 4–5 C2B and got to those RMU attempts with ease.

Off-camera wins:
* - Followed up her recent breakthrough with another RMU!
* - Reached the rings—a huge milestone after a long, disciplined shoulder rehab journey.
* .kempf & - Backed up all those lunges with their first Hyrox sim the very next day.
* - hitting some good chest to bar reps after having not done them in a while
* - Swapped out the rings for bar muscle ups and hit some quality reps right at the finish line.

We can’t wait to see what comes out tomorrow! Who’s hoping for a barbell?

The skills are here! But don’t fall into the trap of sending the first two rounds to ‘buy yourself more time’ on the rings.

Save your grip from the beginning and be smart with breaking up the reps.

Break up everything!

Protect your grip so you can get to the rings feeling ready to get some good reps out.

If we don’t have ring muscle ups yet, push hard for a solid tiebreak time!
