You should be bleeding at this point!
You may have noticed more barbell work- cleans, jerks, and overhead squats in the wods and post workout skill sessions. Like many you may have found yourself challenged and inspired to perfect your form on these more complicated of lifts. If that is the case we will be gauging interest for an Olympic lifting team that will practice and prepare for regional competitions. Connect with Santos in order to throw your name into the pool of willing victims….ah, I mean volunteers!

The Hamburglar
Bently’s halloween costume has been chosen for him!
Well, Bently’s frequent disappearing acts has finally been solved. Turns out our beloved mascot has taken to “mowing down” the leftovers at Jake’s Burger. This comes as a relief since we had been noticing that his food bowl was staying mysteriously full.

Record keeping should be a part of every committed persons training regimen. How can you compare progress over time if you don’t know the weight used previously for a given workout?

Nor Cal Regionals in the books!
This past weekend Sklar and Brett put their hard work to the test and competed in the Nor Cal Regional games. The competition was intense as over 200 athletes competed for only 10 spots in this years “CrossFit Games”. The workouts were brutally hard which forced a large number of athletes to scales the workouts down in order to even finish them. This is a testament to the quality of athlete, as well as the splash that the North State intends to make once the CrossFit games roll around.
Saturday saw both Brett and Skylar complete two workouts. They each performed the workouts as Rx’d and had strong showings which earned them a shot to compete on Sunday. Sunday’s workout was a beast that had the crowd a buzz hours before it was officially announced. Once all eligible competitors has sufficiently tortured their bodies, the points were tabulated and the winners announced. Sklar impressed all with a solid #14th place finish proving beyond a doubt that she will be in contention for the games for many years. Brett placed an impressive #34 place out of roughly #150 male athletes!
Our Nor Cal Neighbor Crossfit Nor Cal and Crossfit Redding also worked extremely hard and had some truly impressive performances. Once again the girls stole the show with Katie DeLuca and Vanessa Lambert of Nor Cal Crossfit placing 10th and 12th respectively. John Fragoso, also of Nor Cal Crossfit, went after Sundays insane workout with incomparable drive and determination. Unfortunately John finish in tenth place and failed to earn a trip to the Crossfit Games. Other impressive finishers were: Victor Dowel #11,Cubby at #19, and Jordan Atwell #22, all of Crossfit Redding. Also, Captain America, Adam Lambert finish a solid #32nd place.

"I started training with Santos not long after my pregnancy, and two years after a horrific accident that left me with little use of my left arm. I had several operations and was very week. Not surprisingly my weight crept up and at one point reached 60 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. At this time I was lucky enough to find Santos. His workouts were exactly what I needed. I didn’t want to walk from machine to machine. I needed someone to assess my fitness needs and deliver a plan for success. After three months my arm has healed to the point where I can do push-ups and dips without pain. I have also lost 26 pounds and my endurance is at an all time high! My doctor is amazed and thrilled. I could never have done this without such a fantastic"
