Doin the Snatch!

I went to Lost Battalion Weightlifting last night. The coach that is there early does not like me. Maybe it's tough love. I did some snatches and front squats. It was a grimy Queens experience. These are some true freaks compared to the gym rats that I am used seeing at the gyms I have worked in Manhattan.

Crossfit

Taking my second free Crossfit class tonite. Super stoked. Took my first one last Sunday with my ex. I was sore for the first time in awhile.

The Crossfit philosophy and methodology are right up my alley. The main focus is on functional strength and power. They use plyometrics, gymnastics and olympic lifts with a lot of variation so the body is forced to adapt constantly. I love the oly lifts, but I am kinda intimidated and want at least a little coaching. I still might go to LBH since that is paid for, but I like the atmosphere at Crossfit. They are jerks (he he) at Lost Battalion and the Crossfit location is way more clean (tee hee). LBH is tougher tho.
