Along with a few other goodies, we set Angel Revie up with a new set of jerk blocks last week. These guys sit 32" tall - that's lower than you can get any of the adjustable options out there, but it's perfect for Angel. Now all that's needed is more weight on the bar :)

And now we can fill in those question marks on their training video. 9th in 2014. 6th in 2015. 2nd in 2016. Congrats gang.

Haven't seen that video yet? Scroll down one post and check it out.

And now it's time to let out a collective sigh of relief and MAYBE some tears of pure joy.

Congratulations to the 12 Labours Lions on their 2nd place finish in the 2016 The CrossFit Games. You stopped at nothing, you left nothing to chance, and you've inspired a helluva lot of us in the process.

The 12 Labours Lions continue preparing for the upcoming The CrossFit Games. In addition to the usual battery of Oly lifting, burpees, and all the other CrossFit movements, they've been doing a lot of odd object training. Picking up and moving really heavy, really awkward stuff. Norse Strength is proud to have made some of the gear they've been using for their training - among other things, some yokes for overhead yoke carries, and a bunch of Serpent sandbags that have been hooked up in God knows how many configurations over the last 2 months. They also appear to have become experts at tailoring their Norse Strength shirts.

Can't wait to see what they can do in Carson next week!

Thanks to Madison Nickey for the film work.

Check out the full story about the deaf athletes from CrossFit Hierarchy Ivy City that competed in the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge back in April. Of course the entire event is a team competition, but the level of teamwork required for WOD 4 - the Norse Strength Serpent WOD - was far greater than any of the other WODs. Do the entire thing in complete silence, and it's a whole different ballgame. Huge props to you guys!

Can't imagine a better dude to be rocking a Norse Strength shirt at The CrossFit Games Atlantic Regionals. So stoked to see the 12 Labours Lions crew throw down in Atlanta, and can't wait to see what they can do in Carson. I predict the Norse Strength Serpent - easily reconfigured for 6 athletes - will be showing up in their training. Maybe someone out there that competed at the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge this year has some secret tips?

Whoa, check it out. Nice write-up about The Serpent's debut at the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge over on the Morning Chalk Up.

Teams at this year's Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge were introduced to the "Serpent," a CrossFit Games-esque contraption that has to be squated, cleaned and je**ed and burpeed over. It's made by Norse Strength and according to their Instagram feed it's just "Like the worm, but better. And worse."

Nothing like having something like the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge force you to get your act together. After, well, a very long time of having nothing, Norse Strength now has an Instagram feed and a website linked to an online store. If you're expecting a slick, dazzling display of web programming and social media prowess from any of those, you're going to be disappointed. But you've got to start somewhere.

I imagine there may be some bugs, so bear with me. One bug that I cannot overcome at the moment due to the online store site builder is the free or flat rate shipping option. Those are the only two options they give. I'm sure everyone recognizes that shipping a shirt and a pair of jerk blocks are two very different things. Any of the metal stuff is not going to be free shipping. But if you're interested in some of the heavy metal, just let me know and we'll figure out a reasonable delivery and/or shipping rate.

Anyone that has trained w/ Aaron and That Team will appreciate this shirt. Pick one up this weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge this weekend, and then throwdown on the "weak and unoriginal" first WOD :)

Weak and unoriginal. Oh man, where to start with that one...
