This is such a steal that I am pretty sure Chris committed a crime! Chris regularly likes to visit Ross to get good deals on basketball shoes. You can get the same shoes sold at Footlocker in the past for way cheap. Last week, Chris happened to wander into the Ross at Bayfair Mall in San Leandro, not the Ross he normally shops. Imagine his surprise when he saw multiple pairs of Adistar weightlifting shoes being sold for $18 a pair!!! WTF!?!?!? Adistars were $200 brand new. That's crazy! Chris bought a size 11.5. He wasn't sure what other sizes were available. $18 Adistars might be worth the short drive to Bayfair Mall.....
Don't worry Chris, I won't rat you out.....

The NorCal 40's workouts have been announced. Kill me now.....haha.
Workout #1- 1 mile run with 20# weight vest
Workout #2- 30 squat snatches @ 125# for time. Any missed rep is a 20 double under penalty beofre continuing. 10 minute cap.
Wokout #3- As many rounds as possible in 7 minutes of 7 chest to bar pull-ups, 10 dumbbell push presses @ 40#, 10 kettlebell swings at 40#.
There are also 4 "floater workouts" that you have to complete and then the final workout for the top athletes.
If there was any movement I would pay money not to do, it would be squat snatches. If you want to feel true pain, watch me squat snatch this weekend. It really is that bad....haha. I'll still manage to have a great time.

Complete 5 rounds for time of:
- 4 muscle-ups

The "CrossFit Fad" is totally fading!!! Just watch regularly watched sports events for the commercials in between, or even check out ESPN2. Anytime you see something get publicity like that, you know it's only downhill from there.

Those workouts are no joke. Workout #1 would be the only one I could do... and I'd have to walk. :) Good luck this weekend Freddy.

Starting off with a mile run w/20# vest is not a fun time. Good luck Freddy...represent like you always do!
