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.

Coach George W. Phipps
