Thanks to RARE CrossFit and CrossFit 305!

Somewhere among the chaos of my sister's marriage in June and the 4th of July celebrations, I managed to head over to RARE CrossFit in Fredericksburg, Va and CrossFit 305 in Miami, Fl for several fantastic seminars. Both are phenomenal gyms with awesome people. Thanks again to all the owners and coaches - Dan, Adam, Pete, Dominic, Alex, Jim, Lee, and everyone else who came out to learn a handstand!

The beginner seminar will cover the following - Headstands, Handstands, Handstand Pushups, and the Muscle-up

The advanced seminar will cover the following - Handstand correction, One arm handstand work, Presses and Planche work, and Advanced ring skills (forward roll, front/back levers, kip-up)

As for other future seminars? I'm in talks for seminars literally up and down the entire East Coast of the United States. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for the first word on them!

Thanks, and good luck with your training!

Missed that seminar? Live in the Virginia Area? I'm having both a beginner and advanced seminar at RARE CrossFit in Fredericksburg, VA on Saturday, June 12th, 2010.

As before, I will be covering a number of various skills in each seminar. Sign up for the one that will help you the most!

More information and registration here.

And finally, if you can't make it to any seminar, I'll be having a FREE webinar, this Thursday, May 27th from 8:30-9:30pm EDT with the assistance of PrimalAthlete.com. Run by Bryan Adair, his website is up and coming, but he's looking to compile interviews with people in the fitness community.

That's where I come in. I'll be answering any and all of your training questions on Thursday May 27th from 8:30-9:30pm EDT. These type of Q+A's have gone well in the past, so I'm looking forward to another good time talking shop.
