Saturday, August 7th, 2010Prowl for a Cure
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At a CrossFit Pleasanton, we are aware of breasts. In honor of the women (and men) struggling with breast cancer, we have decided to have a charity to support the cause. On Sunday, October 17 at 11 am the prowling will begin. It will end at 3pm.
Of all the exercises we have done, nothing probably comes closer to the feeling of Chemo than pushing the prowler and getting the “prowler flu”. So thanks to Maas brothers and EliteFTS, we have a brand new Pink Prowler for the Event.
Participants will be sponsored for the amount of “laps” they do with the prowler in one hour. A lap is the usual prowler push to the end of the building from our rear roll-up door and back. Participants will get sponsors that will pay a certain amount of money for a “lap”. An example would be that I sponsor Megan. We agree that she will get $1 for a 90# lap, $2 180# lap, $4 dollars for 270# lap and a $20 bonus if she throws-up from the Prowler Flu.
Run and Burp
Friday, July 30th, 20106 rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
25 Burpees
Set up under a bar that is one foot above your reach for the burpees. Jump and touch the bar for each burpee rep.

Isabel’s Pink Prowler

For time:
Snatch 135 pounds, 30 reps
I’m going to go out on a ledge here and, thanks to Maas Brothers, claim that we are the first gym to have a hot pink prowler! Paul and Carolyn are putting together a Prowl for Breast Cancer fund raiser. I would assume that no other type of exercise can approximate the feeling of chemo like pushing the prowler and getting the prowler flu. Stay tuned.

And while we’re talking about awesome athletes, CHECK THIS GUY OUT!
At the begining of February Elico was sitting at 156lbs and 19% body fat. By the end of May he had put on 7 lbs of muscle, lost 15lbs of fat and was down to 148lbs and only 10% body fat.
Nothing tell his story quite like this before and after. Good work Elico!
“Almost ALL change came when I decided to sit down and improve my nutrition. I put a lot of effort into figuring out what and how much to eat– the most significant change being a substitution of breads/pastas later in the day with healthy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Talking to Paul and Dan made a big impact, as I learned to introduce cottage cheese at night, healthy fats such as almonds and fish oil caps, and solid protein sources instead of multiple shakes. For me the value in Crossfit not only comes in the form of major motivation when working out with our group and trainers, but also in allowing me to concentrate most of my effort on the food I eat. As far as working out goes, all I have to do is show up. ”
