CFE hosts BG lifters

Bethnal Green lifters- Joe, Alex and Calum- join my CrossFit Evolving students for a pre-British Championship session. Great atmosphere, some serious weights shifted, a ‘valiant’ effort at a muscle-up from Joe and an unfortunate tug of war for the BGers even with my help (or because of it?). Good luck at the British to Seth, Joe, Alex and Calum!

Visiting my Italian friends

Here’s a short clip from my last visit at the beginning of March (4 days before the Italian national championship). The level of professionalism from these young guys never ceases to amaze me so. As you can hear in the background, apart from weights hitting the floor, the only other noise comes from coaches’ instructions. No chatting, no fuss, no dramas, no wild celebrations. They are there to do a job and given the little resources they have, I reckon they are doing a pretty goddamned good one! Besides making me feel old whenever I pop in to train 🙂

Thank you guys for always welcoming me and making space for me. You play a great part in making my stay in Italy a pleasure. Hope to see you again in a couple of months- keep up the excellent work.

Spring open 2014, Crystal Palace Weightlifting Sport Centre

Here are 5 of my lifters from CFCL and CFE (Seth- 56kg / Chen- 62kg / Matt- 77kg / Doan- 85kg / David- 94kg) at this year’s London Spring Open. Chen won his group, Seth took second place and qualified for the British Championships on May 10th and Doan achieved a bronze. Well done you guys, you all truly deserve it and thank you to Giles Greenwood for helping accomplish such great results.
