If there's anything better than suffering, it's suffering with your pals.

For the month of May, we will be holding our "Bring a Friend" Competition.

We want to see our gym packed to the gills with your friends and relishers. For every person you manage to bring in or refer to us, you get one point. The person who gets the most points at the end of the month will get a PRIZE! (Prize to be determined. But what has been determined, is that is will be sufficiently bad-ass.)

This, by the way, is on top of our already established referral program we have at CrossFit Envy. So those of you who don't win the grand prize, will still be able to get discounts on training.

Start pestering your friends about just how awesome CrossFit is now!

Do not attempt without the supervision of a qualified CrossFit trainer.

For time:
1500m row
35 burpee lateral triple jumps (12") (3 burpee penalty for knocking over or clipping hurdle)
25 hang squat cleans (135/95)
15 muscle-ups

Posted by request... a super slow motion snatch. This one is of Kendrick Farris snatching 157 kilos (Thats 345 pounds, at a bodyweight of 185 pounds.) Notice his speed under the bar... Acceleration due to gravity itself wouldn't be fast enough to allow him to lock out under the bar, so he needs to PULL HIMSELF UNDER it during the third pull. This is very common with heavy weights, where the momentum of the second pull will propel the bar a minimal amount above full extension.
