March 13-17 Hell Yea!

Before we get into the Hell Yea for the week, today is March 16th, which as you should all know is Stone Cold Steve Austin Day! The weekly hell yea actually stemmed from this, as Nick and I would scream Hell Yea to each other after big lifts. Little did he know I got this some several Stone Cold Steve Austin promos.

There is a point where an athlete who has committed to CrossFit breaks through their first ceiling, and it is obvious to myself and the other coaches that this week's Hell Yea goes to Gail King at our Newark location!

Gail started with us in January and has been coming every week like it was clock work. Last Friday night, she came to Friday Night Lights on the fence about whether or not she would do the workout! I believe she changed her mind a few times, deciding whether or not to come back on Saturday. But after much deliberation, Gail joined the last heat of the night and put on a CLINIC! To see her overcome her nerves and JUST DO IT was so inspiring for us all to see!

But the real break through moment was this past Monday… the 3, 6, 9, 12 ladder of thrusters and toes to bar. Gail had been using the training bar and making sure her form is down pat. This workout, I saw her grab the 35 LB Bella bar, put on 55LBS of weight, and finish the round of 15 thrusters! Gail did not stop moving the whole time and broke her work up into smart sets! We are exciting to see you break through more Gail! The sky is the limit! We don't have any pictures to share, but Gail is always smiling ear to ear and it a great presence in our afternoon classes!

If you see Gail this week be sure to give her a HELL YEA!
