Mission accomplished

Sophie's been working diligently toward a muscle-up for months now, putting in extra work on her ring dips and practicing the pull-up-to-dip transition. She came home from college for a visit and popped herself right up into her first ever muscle-up! Good to have you back in the house, Sophie!

Kudos on the accomplishment from bro

Throwing up

Setting things on fire

Bottom-to-bottom Tabata squats

It was an amazing weekend. Northwest-area firefighters collected at CrossFit Eastside to attend a level-1 CrossFit certification seminar. Over two days, the staff of trainers from around the country taught 39 people the fundamentals of CrossFit and had them looking great by the end of the weekend. Happy to have you all in the house!

Dear Abbies

Getting just a few seconds of rest during Tabata sit-ups.

Git it!

Drew Smith pulls 231.6 kilos (509.5 pounds)

We've had a whole bunch of folks put up big deadlift numbers in the gym over the past couple months. We didn't get a good pic of Drew's first 500-pound-plus deadlift last month (when he pulled 227 kilos), but we did get a shot of this one! 231 kilos!

There was a rash of other PRs and big lifts on the same day. To name a few: Brock got up 175 kg, Jim 145, Roman 155, Billy 227, Harlan 182, Sharon 97, Beth 105, and "one eleven Devin."Congratulations all on the strong work!

Up, up, and away

Progress
