Since Scott has joined CFN Amy and I have watched him push himself every single day. Scott often beats me to the gym at 6am in the morning and is the first to pop the doors and start his warm up. He is always asking how he can get better and receives coaching very well. Scott also completed Murph for the first time this week with his fellow gym members during which he did his first pull up without a band. AWESOME JOB SCOTT.

Lactate workouts, Olympic lifting and rowing are all favorites.
My absolute favorite WOD is:
The Lion Tamer WOD:
3 Rounds for time
Tame 1 lion (lion/tiger)
2 day time cap
Note: I scale this WOD back currently. Jason tells me that within the month I might be able to scale up to a common house cat.
3. What is your least favorite WOD/ Movement?
Any movements that are too easy for me; a list of which that will not be shared with the coaches.
