__ "For those of you who don’t know, Westside Barbell is the strongest gym in the world.
It’s difficult for me to express the significance of this in one line so allow me to reiterate while using italics (we all know italics emphasize importance):
Westside Barbell is the strongest gym… in the world!!!!
To give you a better understanding of how strong Westside really is, here are some concrete numbers to work with.
Westside is currently home to:
33 men who have bench pressed 700+lbs
8 men who have bench pressed 800+lbs
2 men who have bench pressed 900+lbs
17 men who have squatted 1000+lbs
6 men who have squatted 1100+lbs
18 men who have deadlifted 800+lbs
and 13 men totaling 2500+lbs, 7 men totaling 2600+lbs, 2 men totaling 2700+lbs and 2 men totaling 2800+lbs
_"The following outlines a study that was conducted by volunteers of CrossFit Orillia and CrossFit Potential Barrie. Over the course of 30 days, participants were asked to follow a strict Paleo diet as outlined by Whole9’s Whole30 program, and complete five (5) workouts per week. Three of the workouts (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) followed Coach Michael Rutherford’s Max Effort Black Box (MEBB) protocol, which involves a focused strength session followed by a short (10 min +/-) mixed mode CrossFit workout. The other two workout sessions were mixed mode CrossFit WOD’s of 15-25 min in length."
WOD "Deck of Cards" Diamonds - Strict pull-up Hearts - Push-up Clubs - Candle stand Spades - Hollow hold to superman Aces - 200 meter run (winner exempt from 5 burpees)
WOD One team rows 1000 meters while the other team accumulates as many deadlifts as possible. As soon as the team reaches 1000 meters, deadlifters switch to rowing. Rowers switch to Deadlifting. Once the second team is done rowing, the round is over. Post deadlift reps. Rest 3-6 minutes between rounds.
