This April, CrossFit Askal is teaming up with Train 4 Autism, CrossFit Unexpected & Carson CrossFit for the first (and hopefully many more to come) community fundraiser competition in honor of National Autism Awareness Month. Our focus is to come together as a community, bring awareness and raise money for a wonderful charity of your choice, in a fun, friendly, competitive atmosphere. The date is set for Saturday, April 19, is great for all levels, and we have yet to decide whether it will be an individual or partner/team competition. Registration fee is $25 and comes with a t-shirt. If you are interested, please sign up (sheet located on front counter) and please indicate if you would like to participate as an individual or partner/team. This is a great opportunity for each and every one of you that has been itching to participate in their first competition and a great chance to meet other awesome crossfitters. Stay tuned for more details!

Hey folks!
We are going to slow down things a bit and focus on quality of your movement. Does that mean you are not going to get a heavy breather, kick ass workout? Absolutely not. Fast is not necessarily always better (nor safer).
Today’s focus is on pull ups. You have heard us repeatedly say ” initiate by bringing your shoulders back and down”, “keep hollow position”, “close your legs” but what does it all mean to you? Do you understand which positions are ideal when performing pull ups and why? Here are some videos to help with today’s WOD. See if you can identify any areas you need work on.
