CrossFit Charlotte

Dynamic warm-up/deadlifts

WOD

Five rounds for time of:

• 275/185 pound Deadlift, 7 reps
• 30 Squats
• 7 Handstand push-ups (head to floor Rx’d)

Inside look at evidence based fitness.

Well, we finally got around to writing a few bios and such.  You can now learn a little bit about all of CrossFit Charlotte’s trainers, by visiting our Trainers Page.  Emails are also listed.  If anyone wants their photo or bio changed, just get the new stuff to Bryan and he’ll update it.

Well, I finally moved the video list to it’s own page. The past three days HQ has feature our own Coach A in the video of the day. They must think he’s entertaining on video or something. Watch the videos, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen videos that Tony has taken so much time with the editing. Cuts, splices, inserting video in the middle of the workouts, picture-in-picture. But I think the work was worth it, they really turned out nice.

In part 1, watch Coach go head-to-head against his daughter, Andee. Part 2, shows Coach putting his money where his mouth is, challenging a record Christine set by Patrick from HQ. And last, a three way match featuring wallball specials. 2-for-1 wallballs–where you do an extra squat while the ball is in the air–and GHD wallballs.

HQ has put up videos featuring a quartet of our members.

Andee made the front page competing in a Buddy Lee jump rope competition during the cert.

David and Brandon made a four part interview posted on the affiliate blog. Be sure to watch them all and give them a good ribbing. Congrats guys!

UPDATE: I decided to edit this post since it was still at the top. Paul’s massive tire flip and 50 lb slamball made the front page.

For now the videos are in the lower right sidebar, but there are enough now that I will most likely move them to their own page, with a single link on the left.

Thursday’s WOD

“Barbara”

Five rounds, each for time of:

Post time for each of five rounds to comments.

We have successfully moved the website, and photos should be working again. Look for photos in older posts (over a week old) or in new posts. You can also browse the entire gallery by clicking on the link in the left bar.

crossfitcharlotte.com emails are still down, but they should be up within a couple hours.

The proof is in the pudding, er… photograph:

Andy and Dina with Coach Greg Glassman. The guru of CrossFit!

You know the drill. And Yes, I’m going to make a big post for every part so none of Coach’s moment in the spotlight goes unnoticed. :: grin :: .

Part 2 of the interview with Coach A is up. Be sure to check it out. Look in the background and you may recognize some other CFC faces.

As I’m sure everyone knows, the certification was a great success two weeks ago. The CrossFit film crew showed up a day before the certification and I don’t think they stopped filming until late Sunday night. They taped the cert itself, workouts, and interviews. Tony & Patrick really put together some quality videos. Pretty much any current video you see on the HQ site is the work of these guys.

Anyway…. One of the local celebrities interviewed is none other than our own Coach Hendel. A link to the first part of his interview is posted in the bottom right sidebar. Also an instructional video that was filmed at the cert, and Coach’s 95lbx76 OHS record.

Also, Eva T (Olympic Alpine Skier) has released a 2008 calendar. She is an avid CrossFitter and CrossFit promoter. So we’re doing everything we can to help her out as well. If you’re interested in picking up her calendar, the link is on the bottom left.

We’ve updated the software that runs the CFC website.  At the same time we updated the layout.  Everything should be working, but if anyone notices any issues (Strange errors, page elements not lining up properly with different web browsers, etc.) please drop a line in the comments section.

Let us know what you think.
