…are done by explosively extending the hips while directing the force through the heels. If done properly you will go airborne, kind of like Ralph S. above.

The Rogue warriors that braved the cold to workout today didn’t stay cold for long. Thrusters make an excellent body warmer for days like today. They are almost as good as a nice cup of hot chocolate but only more funner 
Here is the first strap designed for the USMC, modeled after the MARPAT digital camo. This is the first look at what is to come, keep an eye out for other patterns!

After watching the Rogue athletes attack the workout all day today Eddie got the bug and joined the 6:30 pm class. Nothing like suffering through a grinder with some cool people to fill you with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Good job today everyone.
We are in the process of building the PT Equipment for the FT Campbell US Army base. Here is a sneak peak at the climbing wall.

If you haven’t already noticed we are running Christmas specials, take a look through the store. Here is the first item, FREE SHIPPING on selected items and packages
Yesterday the Rogue athletes lifted to find their Rogue Total. The Rogue Total is much like the CrossFit Total except we use the front squat versus the back squat. This serves as an excellent benchmark for our athletes to measure their progress against. Then today to “take it easy” we did a workout that consisted of three 500m sprints with a partner. Good times were had by all.

For those of you that know the history of Rogue Fitness then you know Eric Jones. Take a look back at Day 2 at the Rogue Facility This whole thing started with three guys: Troy Taylor, Eric Jones & Bill Henniger
All of us have put in more unpaid hours than imaginable because we love it. Eric has been no less of a partner in crime than Troy or I. He is in the gym at least 6 days a week and many times 7. He has officially graduated from his apprenticeship and earned the level of “Captain” for which he will forever remembered at Rogue.
Per the norm we name a workout or WOD after our team members when they leave for the military:
“EJ”
7 Front Squat 135M/95W
15 Pushups
500M Row
5 Rounds for Time!
Eric is headed out to become a V22 Osprey pilot in the US Air Force and has aspirations of becoming a Pararescueman once he receives his pilot wings. As anyone that has met Eric can tell you, there is little doubt he will achieve his goals. His father LT Colonel Shelby Jones retired with a highly decorated career. His sister is in the Air Force Academy. That is a whole bunch of Air Force.
To say Eric will be missed is an understatement, I am certain he will never be far. If you are in the Air Force, just pray that he gets stationed at your base because it will be decked out with the best equipment on earth.
Eric was instrumental in designing the Rogue Store and it will take more than one to replace him. I just hope he realizes that we take precedent over pilot training.
For those of you that know Eric, here is his email address: eric@roguefitness.com
There will be a party and a very big party at that. Eric takes off on December 12 so look for details in the very near future.
Dennis C. had his 51st birthday Rogue Style yesterday. Dennis requested, I mean demanded, that everyone wear a party hat, and blow their party horn between each exercise. Everyone did so with unexpected zeal. Especially Sam C. Happy birthday Dennis C. I hope you had a good time.
Dust off your sneakers and dig out your mittens!
You Rogue Warriors asked for it and now you got it! The Rogue Running Team will take to the trail, the parking lot and wherever else we can get some miles in as we prepare for the Holiday Run @ Sharon Woods December 14th, 2008.
The Rogue Running Team will meet every Sunday at 11AM, starting November 16th, to train for the run. You Rogue Athletes know that we don’t have treadmills. So dig out your mittens, sweat pants, and your beanies because we will be hitting the trial regardless of the weather. Rain or shine, freezing or not, Rogue athletes are not fair weather athletes. We want to “train as you fight” and if I recall correctly Sharon Woods isn’t heated or indoors.
How do I join the Rogue Running Team?
- Tell one of the Rogue coaches that you want to put your fitness to the test.
- Sign the sign-in sheet in the lobby, be sure to put your current e-mail address.
- The cost is $30 and that includes long sleeve thermal “Rogue Hand-Grenade” shirt
You can pay by cash or you can just authorize us to automatically debit your checking account that you have set up for your membership. If you already have a long sleeve shirt you can choose on of our other shirts.
- Register at Run Wild Racing( http://www.runwildracing.com/RaceInfo.asp?nRaceID=183 ). Cost to register for the race is $30.
Note: There will be NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION, so be sure to register early and before the event. No race day registration allowed in the Metro Parks.
Race Day!
On race day all of the Rogue Running Team will meet up at Rogue Fitness at 7:30 AM and we will convoy over to Sharon Woods to warm up. Rogue will have picked up all of the registration packets, number bibs and event t-shirts for the competitors earlier in the week. So all you have to do is show up and run your butts off then drink some hot chocolate, pretty simple.
Even if you’re not racing we want you to show up to cheer on your fellow Rogue athletes as they all try not to freeze their butts off as they run 4 miles through Sharon Woods park.
