Why did we have to change our blog address?

As many of you know West Point is a registered name. Therefore, you need permission to use it, even if you want to have a blog. I have been told we have to discontinue the use of West Point in conjunction with CrossFit.

When we started the affiliate we started running the traps to try and get CrossFit started as a cadet club. At this point we have been unsuccessful. We will continue to work this, but we cannot do this without the help of those of you that use this site. If you want to see functional fitness continue to grow we need your help.

Until such time as we are granted permission to use the name West Point we will continue to post our workouts and we will continue to run as normal. The only thing that has changed is the website address so update your bookmarks! We will continue to Forge the Warrior Athlete. See you in the gym. 3, 2, 1...GO!

Tuesday WOD

Elizabeth

For time.

21-15-9 reps of:

135lb Clean
Ring Dips

Post time to comments:

Remember a proper clean receives the bar in the full squat position. If you catch it in anything short of that, you must go to the squat position before standing up. The clean in complete when you are standing at full extention with the bar in the racked position. When you start getting tired watch your form!

If you can do 3-5 135lb cleans in a row, do not scale this. You can't get stonger if you don't work the weight.
