Las Vegas Cert

I am in Las Vegas again, but this time not for police stuff thank goodness.  This time I am in Vegas for a CrossFit Level 1 Certification.  It is 2 days of instruction on the methodology, movements, training tips, how to be a great trainer, how to open your own box, and some WODs mixed in.  

3 'famous' CF headquarters trainers lead the group with other trainers from the Mountain region to help with the cert.  Andy Stumpf (CF Coronado), Freddy C. (CF One World, and Joley Gentry (CF One World) are the head trainers.  When we lived in San Diego I went to Andy Stumpf's gym and he is a stud.  He is super smart, a level 3 trainer, 13 years on the SEAL teams as an enlisted guy and received his commission back in October so he is now a SEAL officer.  He can help anyone become proficient in functional fitness and easily explains CF so that anyone would want to do it.  

We covered a lot of good information on all the Squat movements, Pressing movements, and Deadlift movements today.  A lot of instruction and practice as well.  There was a Whole Foods super close so I got lunch there.  

To end day 1 we did a gnarly version of 'Fran'
