Coaching the Coach

So, this past weekend I attended the CrossFit Barbell Certification course. Over two days, I spent twenty hours learning and practicing the Squat, Deadlift, Press, Bench Press and Power Clean. It was an amazing experience and I look forward to sharing what I learned with all of you.
