We gathered again this Sunday for our AllStar Oly Club. But this time, Ford and Della our kids, were begging to join in and use a loaded bar. Up to this point, I have the kids using only PVC pipe(which is very light) for a bar, but today I decided they had shown me great form on the lifts and it was time to let them lift some load like they wanted to. They were stoked to say the least because they have been begging for weight to lift and up to this point I focused purly on form with them, unloaded. Today gave me a lot of confidence to start allowing the CrossFit Kids to lift some appropriate loads.

Some Clips From Today:

KC Overhead Squat 115lbs. (10 lbs. over bodyweight)

Scott FIRST TIME ever Snatching! He showed lots of improvement after each lift.
