Congratulations Andrea: “Queen of the Box!” Jan 17

The box will be open for regularly scheduled classes on Monday, Martin Luther King Day!

Congratulations to Andrea, our fire breather! She represented CrossFit UpCountry Maui well at the Lahaina CrossFit Winter Challenge on Saturday.  Besides winning one of the WODs by a minute she totally blew her deadlift PR out of the water! Andrea pulled 255 lbs off the floor for a new record!  She took second place in the other WOD by being only two seconds behind the first place finisher.  From now on we will refer to Andrea as the “Queen of The Box!” Way to go girl! And a huge thanks to coaches Amber and Christie for being there to cheer and support her when the rest of us could not attend. She couldn’t have done it without you guys. Well, she probably could have, but thanks just the same!!

And here we go…. off to another running start!  After getting all new 1 rep max stats over the last couple weeks we will begin another cycle of the Wendler Strength Program.  This is a program of patience.  Follow the numbers in your folders.  Do not try to continually set new PRs.  We will retest soon enough!

Back Squat: Week 1.  75% x 5; 80% x 5; 85% x 5 (or to failure)

WOD: 5 rounds for time;
200m sandbag power clean and run
5 broad jump burpees
10 push presses
