I’ll be in sunny Santa Cruz this weekend with CrossFit Coach Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, Ph.D. learning, studying, and practicing the deadlift, back squat, press, bench press, and power clean.
These lifts are indispensable to CrossFit training. I expect to bring some great knowledge back in cold Bathurst
