We are very excited to announce that Barbell class will be added to our regular schedule every Thursday at 5 p.m., making its debut this Thursday, November 14th. This class is very near and dear to my heart and I hope everyone comes in to give it a try!

Barbell Class will focus on Olympic weightlifting technique outside of your regular CrossFit classes, allowing each person to become more comfortable with these movements. This class provides an opportunity for both beginner level and advanced athletes to receive coaching and take time to improve skills, technique, and strength in Olympic weightlifting.

We will be performing and progressing your technique and strength in the Snatch (floor to overhead in one movement), the Clean (floor to shoulders in one movement), and the Jerk (shoulders to overhead in one movement), including all of the requisite movements needed to both perform and help improve each one of these lifts.

As a reminder, our first class is this Thursday, November 14th – be sure to sign up! Looking forward to seeing you all in class!

What is the March of Dimes? The March of Dimes is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of mothers and babies, with a focus on preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Learn more about the March of Dimes here. Why is it important to us? We are excited to host a workout in support of the March of Dimes and the South Shore Hospital NICU team. My sister-in-law, Amanda Dougherty, and my nephew, Owen Dougherty, received a lot of care during Owen's premature and traumatic birth. Amanda and her family will be walking on the SSH NICU/SCN team in the March for Babies walk on May 9th, and we would love to support her by donating to the cause and helping other families in need. When's the charity class? We would love for everyone to come join us, no matter your fitness level, in support of this great cause. The class will be hosted on Sunday, April 12th, at 11 am. T-shirts will also be available for purchase as a preorder up until March 27th. All proceeds from registration of this event and profits from all shirts purchased will be donated to the SSH NICU/SCN team under Amanda Dougherty. Donate and Jump into Class If you would like to donate more, you can go directly to Amanda’s page and donate here.

Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.
