-The Gym will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. There will be a reduced schedule for Monday that I will post on Sunday along with the write up from the Sat. throwdown.
-If you are competing on Saturday, you can still come to the gym today. All you will do is your joint mobility, warm ups, and go through rolling and more mobility work. Also any questions you have about Saturday now would be the time to ask them.
I do not know the time line yet for Saturday, but I do know everything starts at 10 am. We will meet at the gym at 9:15 am and head up together. If you have particular jump rope you want make sure you mark it.
We are now carrying the product RESULTS. I have taken this product for about a month and feel that it does work. Here is some more info and you can also check it out here at AtLarge Nutrition
“RESULTS™ consists of 4 individual ingredients: dextrose, Creapure™ creatine monohydrate, ?-Alanine, and HMB. As with all of our products, each ingredient is included at a scientifically proven viable dose. We never include an ingredient just for a label claim.
Creatine, ?-Alanine, and HMB have been proven to work synergistically to increase strength, lean muscle mass, aid in body fat loss, increase muscular endurance, and promote greater training intensity in the gym. No other product on the market will help you to achieve your resistance training goals like RESULTS™.
BIGGER
FASTER
STRONGER
Dextrose: Each serving contains 50g of this carbohydrate in order to spike insulin for optimal use of each gram of creatine ingested.
Creapure™ Creatine Monohydrate: One of the purest forms of creatine monohydrate available today. No other form of creatine has more research backing its efficacy. Creatine promotes increased strength and muscular size. Each serving contains 5g.
?-Alanine: An amino acid with proven ergogenic effects (each serving contains 3.5g). ?-Alanine promotes intra-muscular carnosine production (2). Carnosine is a dipeptide which provides a buffering effect within the working skeletal muscles thus allowing the trainee to sustain higher intensity training sessions and greater overall training volume (2). It also works synergistically with creatine to help reduce body fat (2).
HMB: A metabolite of leucine, HMB has been shown in studies to work synergistically with creatine to produce additively greater gains in strength and lean body mass (1). Each serving contains a lab proven 3g dose.”

This contest is going to be promoted to every Crossfit gym in the Eastern time zone,that’s over 20 states. The Event will be held on the Durham Fairgrounds in Durham, CT. Rob Orlando, Jason Leydon and Jason Ackerman will be helping us put on a world class event. It will combine Strongman,Olympic lifting, Power lifting, Endurance and metcons.

Everything that made those games cool will be a part of this competition; the gritty farm setting, the top athletes battling for 1st place , tent cities popping up and hundreds, if not thousands, of screaming Crossfitters cheering everyone on. There will also be a large cash prize for the top 3 places of both men and women’s divisions. The first place winner for men and women will each get $2000!
Registration will be open soon! Although the competition is a year away we want to make sure that this competition is perfect and huge so that is why we are spreading the word early. Stay tuned to the official Beast of the East website (www.thebeastoftheeast.com ) for updates about the competition! This is going to be HUGE.
Warrior Dash: Please put your name under the comments section if you plan on attending/participating in the Warrior Dash on September 18th. There will also be a sign-up at the gym, but I’m trying to get a head count early so we can figure out transportation. Thanks, hope to see you all there!
We need to start our fundraising efforts for Fight Gone Bad. The top gym has already raised $6,500 and CrossFit Revelation has raised $0. If anyone is interested in donating please do, but more importantly let’s spread the word and raise some money for a good cause.
I will open the gym up to the public on Sept. 25 for people who are interested in participating in the workout that are not members of the gym. There will be the standard drop in fee of $20, but all of this money will be donated to Fight Gone Bad. Spread the word and fill the gym!
Check out the Fight Gone Bad site for more details and to register.
