This Week's Dose brought to you by T-Rex.
Sometimes you need a break from CrossFit. Sometimes taking a break is needed to come back stronger and more motivated than ever before. Brendhan took that break and then came back to CrossFit at UB (He was no stranger here - he even help put the gym together). Since then he has been setting huge PR's in his squats and attacking his pesky shoulder mobility issues. But most important, he has a great can-do attitude, listens to his coaches, and is a great motivator to all of his noon WOD buddies. He never hesitates to introduce himself and tries to get to know everyone he spends the hour with. That, in my book, is pretty cool! He is a model athlete while promoting one of our main goals: keeping the community united and strong while striving to reach a common goal of a healthy lifestyle! Brendhan Green -- keep up all the hard work and good vibrations because it's awesome dude!
Brendhan, hanging out in his awesome home gym!

Jenny, can you pretty please give Trent and James more advanced notice of your programming so they can plan SWODs accordingly. Not sure if I can make it through today's Squat-a-palooza!

You are fun to WOD with, Brendan! And thank you for all the 'pesky shoulder' advice! Congrats!

@Ion, thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately some workouts are planned so that you would come to either the SWOD or a CrossFit as opposed to a couplet class. People who attend the CF class and the SWOD can speak to their coach about an appropriate substitution.

Congrats Brendhan! Always great to be in a class with you. (And I'm jealous of your home gym setup!)
