Brian and Scott are signed for Pyromania III as a team. Be like Brian and Scott and signed up!

Strength/skills

E2M10M (5 sets)

Max rep unbroken power snatch 135/95

Note: Scale the load accordingly. Pick a weight that you can do at least 5 reps unbroken. Reps must be touch and go on the ground. We’ll be doing the same for the clean and jerk Wednesday. The goal with this is increase barbell cycling efficiency. If you start slowing down too much and rest the bar at the hip, just stop and wait for the next cycle

METCON

For time:

21-15-9

Burpee box jump overs 30/24
Weighted pull ups 25/15

Note: No kip on the pull up for Rx. Regular strict pull ups or kipping pull ups is a good scaling option

5 rounds for time:

15/12 cals bike
6 D-ball cleans 100/70

Friendly reminder:
Don’t forget to sign in for classes
Do your best to be on time for classes. That being said, it’s better to be late than not coming at all
Being a coach is challenging, try your best to pay attention during classes and avoid talking while the coach is explaining. 100% of the time, athletes not paying attention are not doing the movements correctly
We’re big supporters of open gym and allowing everyone to do some extra work outside regular classes, just remember that if there’s a class going, try to go in the new space (the dojo) to do your stuff. As coaches, trying to explain complex movements and being interrupted by barbells dropping on the ground is not cool. Doing stuff on the side is good, even key to improve as an athlete, just make sure to ask the coach before

Pyromania III is gearing up to be absolutely EPIC! 8 teams registered already, the venues are set, workouts are going to be awesome and all we need is you! All of you, as many of you as possible. This is for everyone and everyone should do it. We have room for 120 athletes or 60 teams. We’ll also be adding an adaptive division. We really want all of you, no excuses. You will be challenged, you will be pushed outside of your comfort zone and you will get better because of it. Find a partner and sigh up here:

Hello Pyromanians, our friends at CrossFit Sunalta are putting an interesting little competition on Saturday June 23rd. The idea is to form a team of 7 and tackle all, I say again ALL benchmark workouts back to back with a timecap of 9 hours. The teams can be any combinations of male/female and we get to decide who does which workouts. Each team member have to do 3 workouts. There will be Rx and scaled divisions. The order of the workouts will be announced prior to the event so we can plan ahead. This is a really cool idea. It ties in with our Firebreather program very well. It’s a great opportunity to support other boxes in town and develop team work within our community. Pyro Firebreathers is already signed up. 60$ per person and you get a tshirt. Each member of the team have to sign up individually. Let’s smash this!!! #PYROSTRONG
