Mongo goes for 100

Mongo from the noon class finished 100 straight body weight squats to finish what can only be described as a difficult workout. Great job Mongo. Caity finished the workout in 13:44, that is a sick time.........

Record Turnout!

Today was a record breaking day at Rogue Fitness! We had 18(!) people in class today with five new perspective members. They were put through a killer Tabata Interval workout in a team setting. Want to know what it's like to be pushed through your limits by a room full of high speed, low drag folks? Come to a Saturday Rogue workout.

The noon class loves the Chipper!

Most people would laugh if I told them to do 300 total reps in one workout, but how about in less than 20 minutes? Today every client finished this daunting task in under 25 minutes. Good work, and remember tomorrow is "BENCHMARK FRIDAY".

Our noon warriors...Get some!

Olympic Lifting Seminar equals new PR's

Our guests today had the opportunity to witness what it takes to train for a National Olympic lifting competition. Several of our members, and even a few of the team members from the Columbus Weightlifting Club (columbusweightlifting.org) achieved PR (personal record) lifts. A huge thanks goes out to all of our guests, and especially all of the members of Columbus Weightlifting.

First to 300!!!

The mighty Caroline shocked all today by at Rogue by being our first female to pull over 300 pounds in the Deadlift! Unfortunately the camera was not charged at the time...but you can use your imagination...and it was awesome! It is hard to believe that she could barely make it through a Rogue Workout of the Day just six or so months ago. Killer job Caroline!

What does a Firebreather look like?

DSC01256.JPG
Looks a whole lot like these crazy people! As an instructor it is nice to know that we could bring a great group of people like this to such a high level of intensity. The only problem now is that all of these people look at us and say is that all you got?

Figuring out their strategy in the Level 2 workout tonight. We did one of our Prison Break workouts....Fight the Guards, Crawl through the tunnel, climb the stairs and then row to shore - Alcatraz style!

Snatch complex

After a wild workout last night, the level 2 class got back to the basics, that is if you consider a Snatch Bear complex basic. Overhead squats, Heaving snatch balances, and Overhead Lunges, this is a recipe for fun!

Great work to everyone, packed classes and a ton of enthusiasm. I tried to beat J but missed it by 60 seconds. Taking out your frustration on a medicine ball by slamming it, how awesome is that.

Which is more important, speed or strength?

BOTH!

We trained everyone today in heavy overhead presses followed by a power endurance workout consisting of Rowing Erg sprints and ring pushups to prove that point.
