The reason why I am putting this up is because of scaling. This athlete has a shoulder injury.....instead of not participating in thrusters....we simply scaled him to a dumbbell in his good arm. 

Sometimes in CrossFit we get a few bumps and tweaks.....continue to come in and participate. We are always ready and willing to scale and support you through your workout.

Tomorrow CrossFit Games tickets go on sale. You can find them at http://games.crossfit.com. I would highly highly highly recommend for you to purchase tickets tomorrow if you plan on going. The CrossFit Games sold out last year. It is very challenging to get tickets. My recommendation is to jump on and purchase some as soon as they are posted tomorrow. 


Please note that we will be closed the weekend of the NorCal Regionals. May 24/25. We will also have a very limited schedule on that Friday and Monday.
