**Attention ARCFit Athletes** We have become a bit lax in regards to class start times again and it’s becoming problematic. Just a reminder that class times begin at the top of the hour (except for the 9:45 am class) and that we expect everyone to make a concerted effort to be there on time. With that being said, early birds who knock out the warm-up before class starts and then request to begin the WOD at the top of the hour will have to wait for everyone to complete the warm-up before starting. This allows the trainers to manage the classes better. If your are late (it happens from time to time), take time to complete the warm-up but stay out of the way of the main class if they have already begun the WOD. During each class you should expect the following: a warm-up, a WOD (regular and strength based), a review/demonstration of skills involved for the WOD, and coaching until you complete the WOD. Trainers will structure the classes in this fashion to ensure that everyone understands the movements and that proper technique is utilized. Questions about the WODs, the movements, etc. should be directed to Chad or myself. Nate Smith will be joining the ARCFit coaching staff next month and will also be available to assist you in this area. Please email or call me with any comments/questions/concerns. We want to ensure that everyone who trains at ARCFit is getting the most out of the experience and we always encourage feedback that helps us reach that goal. 3, 2, 1…kick butt!

Clay: “My lifts are not that spectacular. I weigh about 180lbs, my bench is 355lbs, my full cleans are 335lbs, and my squat is around 580lbs. The only thing is I don’t max anymore. Those marks are all from a few years ago. It is too hard on the body, now I just work off a percentage of that weight.”
Other Stats:
100m – 10.36
400m – 47.78
long jump – 7.96m ~ 26’2″
discus – world decathlon record of 55.87m ~ 183’4″
javelin – 72m ~ 236’4″
1000m – 2:49.41
Posted by Brad | July 30, 2009, 11:45 amHey Chad – hope you get this in time. I’m working down at Kaiser Pointwest today and was hoping I could stop by for a WOD at 4pm. Are you going to be down there at that time? Are you guys doing the AMRAP Powercleans/BoxJumps or FRAN? Man, I just did Fran 4 days ago and don’t think I want to revisit her so soon… Tom.
