Pyro ladies hiking day Saturday September 23rd
Festivus games is approaching fast, There’s still time to sign up, almost 20 teams registered. We couldn’t stress enough, this is for everyone. If you never competed before, you need to do this. This is a competition of you against you, push yourself and have fun. Don’t overthink this, it’s like any other workouts at Pyro, except that you’ll be doing a bunch of workouts instead of one. Seriously, this is a lot of fun even if competing is not your thing. It’s all about the experience, outdo yourself. Sign up at the link below:

The team series week 1 workouts have been announced. Head over to the link below for all the details:
https://games.crossfit.com/workouts/teamseries/2017
We’ll be doing the workouts in sets of 2 to make it easier to get everything done efficiently. Programming 4 different workouts on 4 different days would make it near impossible to have all the teams together. So, for the next 2 weeks, we’ll program the 2 workouts on Friday and 2 on Sunday. What if you want to workout Friday and your partner can’t make it. You’ll have to find a time that works for both of you and get it done during class. What if you want to come get a workout in Friday but your partner can’t, you should use this time to practice the workout, go over the movements or give the workout a test run. We’ll also take the time to cover the movement standards and efficiency tips. Remember that there’s a scaled and Rx version or the workouts. If you haven’t signed up for the team series on the CrossFit games website (you really should), you’ll just team up with somebody in class. If for any reasons you really don’t want to do this with a partner, we’ll have an individual version as well. Friday is workout 1 and 2, Sunday workout 3 and 4.
The team series starts today. Find a partner and sign up here:

If you’re still not sure what the team series is about, check the link above for all the info. Still not sure, ask your coach. We’ll be doing all the team series workouts as part of the programming. If you haven’t signed up, we’ll team you up with somebody in class. Might as well find a partner right! There is a scaled and Rx division, this is for everyone, new to CrossFit to experienced athletes, EVERYONE. Expect something similar to the open, classic CrossFit, test of strength, short, medium and a long workout, couplets, triplets and probably a chipper, synchronized movements as well. This is a lot of fun. The last couple years have been teams of 4 and it was a nightmare to get all together at the same time, this year is teams of 2, male/male, female/female, male/female, there’s absolutely no reasons why you shouldn’t sign up. Only 40$ for the team, 20$ each
Coach Em’s workout:
“MANION”
7 rounds for time:
400m run
29 back squats 135/95
Mid week hero workout that’s right. It’s time to get uncomfortable. Scale the weight as needed. Go 95/65 or even just air squats. Another option is to go Rx for the weight but cut down the volume to 5 rounds or 4 rounds for example. Expect this workout to be around 30 to 40min. OUCHY!!!
First Lieutenant Travis Manion, 26, of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, assigned to 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based in Camp Pendleton, California, was killed by sniper fire on April 29, 2007 while fighting against an enemy ambush in Anbar Province, Iraq. He is survived by his father, Colonel Tom Manion, mother Janet Manion, and sister Ryan Borek.

If you’re not on social media, no worries, that’s why we have everything written down on the white board for everybody to see it and we send a pyro newsletter once in a while.
The best way to stay in the loop is to come to the box everyday, get your fitness in and ask your coach in person. Nothing like good old fashion face to face
