#throwbackthursday Pat Barber at CrossFit Santa Cruz 10 years ago
Rest Day
____________
We'd like to announce we've teamed up with our old friend, Pat Barber!
The photo above is a 10-year throwback to when Pat was a young coach and athlete at CrossFit Santa Cruz. It's just a few months after Pat competed in his first CrossFit Games. He placed 4th that year and met his soon-to-be-wife Taz.
Since then, he has competed in the CrossFit Games 6 times, helped his wife run the first CrossFit affiliate in New Zealand, and returned to the U.S. to help Jason Khalipa grow the NorCal empire. He has also continued to train and develop coaches for CrossFit as part of the Level 1 and Level 2 Seminar Staff.
Starting this month, we will be following their Warmup and Workout programming.
From their site: "We do not program strength and met-con into every session. We do not cram everything we can into an hour just to make people happy. We do not program super hard workouts just to beat people up. We do not glorify lifting or gymnastics or endurance at the expense of another.
"Instead, we prioritize variance. Which makes for a more efficient, more adaptive athlete who's prepared for the challenges life may throw at them."
Get ready for a great summer!
