2008 CROSSFIT GAMES

2008-06-25T20:23:00.000-07:00

2nd Annual CrossFit Games

The 2008 CrossFit Games are fast approaching. The Games are being held in Aromas, California on July 5th and 6th. Patrick and Janelle will be flying out to represent MBS CrossFit in the Games. We will get as much on the camera as possible. Stay tuned.

What are the CrossFit Games?
“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.
The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.” - Greg Glassman, Co-Founder and CEO of CrossFit

Our strength and conditioning program will nourish the athlete’s desire to excel in their skill, create team unity and like-minded team mentality, and guide the young athlete on and off the field. Strength and conditioning programs are necessary for developing a young athlete’s skill and desire inside competitive athletics.

Unlike many "camps" and "clinics" that last only a few short days with more standing around than actual instruction, we will be pushing the athletes through 90 minutes of instruction, 3 times per week, for a period of 3 weeks.

Instruction will cover:

Proper technique of the fundamental lifts: deadlift, squat, bench press, over head press, and power clean.
Proper technique of power movements: clean and jerk, and the snatch.
Dynamic warm-up and cool-down exercises.
Injury prevention.
Flexibility and body control.
Running and jumping mechanics.
more.
