The New Crossfit Sierra Nevada Gym
My new home is over 12,000 square feet and awesome. The owner Willie Kahl is spending over 35,000 in improvements,8 including over 2,000 lbs. of new weight and bars from Rogue fitness. When the dust settles Crossfit Sierra Nevada will be the largest gym in northern Nevada. I have all of the room I have always wanted, and I can wait until we have all of the new equipment.

Getting Ready for the Phipps Invitational
Hi Everyone,
Me and the guys have switched from strongman training to getting ready for the Phipps Invitational. I will be inviting lifters to come and compete with me and the guys in an non sanctioned meet to help promote Crossfit Sierra Nevada, where I train out of, we are moving into a new building and my Invitational meet will help bring attention to the gym. I hope to have a bunch of pictures and video for you. The date will be Sept. 21.
Last Tuesday- Squats
Warm ups doing 5 reps, then 80%x5, 90%x3, Joey and I put on briefs. Everyone else then went down and did 85%x5+. Joey and I did 3's up to a Max effort triple. Joey went up to 605x3. He looked great. I went 535x3, and did 565x1. It felt good to have some weight on my back again.
Long Jumps- (try to jump as far as you can for 25 yards) Do 3 sets.
Squat Jumps- 3x10 Use 15 lbs. db's in each hand. Jump as high as you can.
Bicycle Hams- 3x30 seconds. light bands.
Abs- 40 V-ups, Ab wheel- 20 reps
It was a great night. I am hoping that everyone will be able to put up some real good numbers. We have added Sandy Myers and Robert Beasley to our team, and they should both do real well in the future.

Starting Over
HI Everyone,
I am sorry I have been absent lately, but my life has been very crazy. My divorce was final last week and now I am trying to start my life over. I have spent the last 27 years as a husband, father and pastor, and now I just want to be the best coach and personal trainer I can be. I love helping people and now I am going to focus all of my energy on being the best coach and trainer I can be. I have learned lots of things in the last two years, and some of those things are tough to deal with, but a true measure of who you are as a person is what do you do when your down? It is my hope that I will become a better man through all of this. My core beliefs have not changed, I still believe in God and His love. I still believe in true love. I still believe in hard work and following your dreams and not letting anyone steal them from you. I hope that all of you will be encouraged and challenged in the next few months as we ramp up our training for the WABDL Worlds in Nov.
God bless,
Coach George W. Phipps
