THE OTHER BOTTOM LINE

Remember that whilst we await the open door at Clan CrossFit you can be doing more to help yourself. Eat right. This is the baseline of all your fitness work. Expect posts on Nutrition and expect lectures to attend. This is where it is at for fitness. Forget bulking up on carb, forget the whey protein. We will teach you how to be at your best using food as fuel and medicine.

New building

Quick note on the new premises.
We are 99.99% there on the new space. Planning Department have one last thing to confirm then our legal stuff can go through and we can FINALLY get the keys. We've had plans drawn up for the work needed to turn Hydepark St into Glasgows' first ever dedicated CrossFit facility so we're confident of putting a definite date of opening up on here at the start of next week. Looking like the middle of June to get it completely shiney and good to go. Thanks a lot for everyone's patience. Oh yeah and the monkey bars are coming on a treat !

CLAN CROSSFIT Mission Statement

Our mission is to fuel a revolution in health and fitness in Glasgow and the surrounding area. Fitness based on functional movements, on measurements of performance not anatomy.
We provide an alternative to the prevailing commercial gym model and it's machine-based bodybuilding approach to fitness.
We use plastic sandbags, kettlebells, ropes, gymnastic rings and bumper plates not machines.
We believe where you train is less important than how you train and whom you do it with.

WOD Monday 10th may

3 rounds for time

20 barbell cleans (men 25kg women 15kg)
8 burpees
40 two-footed jumps laterally over the barbell

WHAT IS FITNESS

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.

■ Five or six days per week mix these ele- ments in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.

Regularly learn and play new sports.
