If anyone is looking for fresh veggies during the summer Dennison’s Farm is open for membership in it’s CSA. The sign-up/deposit deadline is March 11th.
Hey–if you guys are interested, and if you pick one of the farms as the better one, we could attempt to make CFHSV a drop-off location. I went to the Doe Run Farm website and see that this is an option. Of course, Holy Spirit is not that far away but…if we had lots of interested members, it might be nice.
I like that idea. One of the reasons I haven’t signed up for A CSA is that having to go to a drop off location would be hard for me to fit into my schedule. If CFHSV was the location, no problem.
It was great working with the 0600 crew again this morning!

Need to work on keeping chest up. I seem to want to finish coming down by leaning forward instead of finishing the squat. Core strength prolly needs work.
145 was my previous one rep max, so needless to say I know my numbers have changed the next time CF Total rolls around. Need to work on form…and hopefully figure something out about why my knee is so jacked up and how to fix it. Squats would be a lot easier without worrying about my form and my knee.
Our City Lumber Home Center booths at the HOME SHOW are looking great. Come see us this weekend at the H/MCBA Building Home and Remodeling Show at the VBS. Fri, Sat, Sun…..Anything for building or remodeling – we can do!
Oh yeah – 155,175,185,195,205(1),185 – last 5×3 was 175 max but still not PR material.
Good training day and everyone worked hard
Got 395 twice but failed on rep 3 because Matchbox 20 came on the radio. Impossible to heavy squat with that crappy-assed office music playing. I blame Matchbox 20 for my failed lift…..and for making such s#@tty music.
Then I tried to put 375 on the bar, really put 365 BACK on the bar because I can’t do math, and only got 1 and failed to hit depth on the rest. Very glad to be having this problem as normally I go too deep and get stuck.
Hey guys! Phil did a good bit of research on the area CSA options and found that the above mentioned Doe Run Farm seems to be the best option (for us at least) and I wanted to point out one thing for you all to consider. If you are eating paleo obviously there will be items you won’t want. The program offers what they call a “swap box” at each location where you can trade items you don’t want for items you do…if we were to make CFHSV a pick-up location, I’m concerned that the swap box will be full of corn and beans and there will be nothing to swap. Thoughts?
Maybe they would be willing to work with us on that if we can provide enough customers and an extra drop off location. I would think that would be worth pursuing, and I would agree based off of what I looked over Doe Run seems to be the best option.
I did a PR today at 165 lbs, which may also be a PR for any lift since I started at CFHSV. Considering that 6 months ago i could barely handle a squat with a PVC pipe, i am really proud of this number.
A few weeks ago, a long time friend of mine down in Birmingham sent me a facebook message asking what this CrossFit thing was all about, and I excitedly told him about how Crossfit had worked for me. Today he went to his first session at an affiliate down there, and I’m trying to be encouraging, since if his experience was anything like my first few days, I’m sure he is sore as hell. I hooe he sees that it is worth it.

Here is another local one:

It is a little pricier but it runs longer(18 week instead of 10). I have a friend that receives a bastet from these guys.
nice! I like the fruit lovers share they have. Thanks for the link.

I agree, if we can get one to drop off at cfhsv, count me in.

Not exactly to CF standards, but impressive nonetheless.
115-125-135-145(pr)-155(1,pr)
295-315-335-355-365(1)
Seeing as how I haven’t been able to load my spine really heavy since before December I’m extremely happy to see these numbers.
Klowe and Russell both threw some serious weight around today.
But have you deadlifted yet??? π

335 to start. Finished with 385

LMAO!
Who let Jake pick the music? π I kid I kid

215 matched my previous 1RM…still need more explosiveness out of the hole though
210# (pr)
