Micro Goals: A Tale of Two Wall Balls

By: Cody Volk 0

Okay, AMRAP wall balls for 90 seconds. You just rolled off the assault bike and staggered to your medicine ball - an object that once felt like a feather and now feels like a cannonball. One. Okay, not so bad. Two. That one hurt. Three. Has it been 90 seconds…

By: Mike Devaney 0

We're Inside! At long last things are beginning to feel like they used to back at CrossFit Dark Horse... We're back inside where we can really hear the music again, where we can see the boards, and where we can use the rig! (Of course, we continue to limit…

Mobility with Mel!

By: Miki Shelton 0

Mobility is important. Yeah, yeah, I know. But what is it? Is it stretching? Why do I need it? How much do I need? Okay, I bought the foam roller and lacrosse ball, but…well, now what? CrossFit is all about functional movements and learning new skills everyday. The fact is…
