Great job everyone on all the PR's for the month of January. Bring on the month of February!!! Click on the photo to enlarge it.
Take note that One World's four Regional Qualifier hopefuls are CRUSHING IT right now. Chyna, Alex, Atsushi, and Stroud are right on track to do really well in the Open Qualifier. Plus, don't forget that Brad missed being in the 55-59 year old age bracket last year by a few days. He would have qualified in the top 10 using the heavier loads from the younger age bracket. Count on Brad being in the CrossFit Games this year. (No pressure bro!!)
Great news.... ALL individual scores in the Open Qualifier count toward One World qualifying as a team. Last year, we missed qualifying by a few spots. This year, all our athletes are way better than last year. I am confident we will qualify a team this year. Even if you think you are not ready to compete in the Games, we will need your scores to make it to the next step. One World will especially need as many of you ladies to sign up as possible. We will pick our best girls to represent the gym when we make it to the next level.
Register for the Open Qualifier on the official CrossFit Games website:
At the time of this posting, the Games site has CrossFit One World in the United Kingdom. Yes, the NorCal Region is one of the toughest on the planet, but we aren't moving to England to try and get in an easier region. The mix up should be fixed in the next day or so. For now, you can register and add your affiliate status later. I'll keep you posted.

I'm so fucking stoked about the Games season starting!!!! Awesome video from CrossFit HQ. If this video doesn't get you fired up to train, you need to quit One World and go to 24 Hour Fitness. As for me, I'll be watchin this video a couple times a week just to keep me mentally on track to do what I got to do. How about you??
LET'S DO THIS!!!!
Sweet!

Awesome lifting last night!
Lyn was warming up to kill the competition this weekend at Lalane. She cleaned 70kg a few times and got her technique ready.
Jess is getting her bump on and her jerk was looking good near the end of our workout. (Thanks for the cupcake!) Her lifting is coming along nicely!
Alonzo is getting his technique down and is ready to go to the Big Boy Platform soon. We are hoping he will see gains in his track and field from this training.
Chris rocked the clean and jerk at 100 and 105kg easily. He is looking to break his PR of 110kg and I think he is very close.
Joe was killing it last night. He is in the hunt for a 100kg C&J. I think that may be around 80 lbs. over his body weight.
Great job all!
We are lifting again tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.! Get some!
