CFH Training Days 08/09/2014 – 14/09/2014

Posted 7th September 2014 by Josh Schouten

Week 10/12

The weeks continue to roll on and the GAINZ in the gym are slowly creeping up.  A number of members have made some very honest improvements in their Olympic lifting ability.  Its also going to be interesting to see how the back squat leg strenght improvements will go in the final few weeks.

The new CrossFit Engine Work was also impressive in week 9.  The objective is not to “game” these workouts and to simply give 100%.  The objective it to push your fitness levles to new highs and to realise just how hard you can work.
