FEBRUARY CHALLENGE

AND THE WINNER IS.....

The January Challenge wasn't easy! The Assault bike is a B@#ch of a machine and it will kill you in a matter of seconds! But one person came out on TOP with a score of 117 RPM.
Congratulations Juul van den Bragt, come and get your Batteraof t-shirt at the Box.

FEBRUARY CHALLENGE
New month new challenge! This month the DEAD HANG as long as possible.

WHY?
•They are gooood. They can make you strong – your grip, your forearms, your Lats and your Abs will all be stimulated.
•They will help your flexibility, it’s a loaded shoulder stretch, a T-Spine extender, and a chest stretcher. It will help your posture.
•The Human Body Likes a hang. We evolved doing this, if we stop doing this, we may well suffer.

HOW?
•Thumbs around the bar
•Arms completely straight
•Squeeze your knees and feet together
•No touching the ground with your toes and no straps allowed

JUST HANG IN THERE!

JANUARY 2016 CHALLENGE

Let's not waist any time on the DECEMBER 2015 CHALLENGE, we all know we failed miserably...and let's go straight to the January 2016 Challenge!

Have you seen the NEW ASSAULT BIKE? It's a machine made in HELL!
We would like to challenge you to get the highest RPM (rounds per minute) possible.
I know some of you have been practicing and can acknowledge this challenge is harder than the 500m row challenge!

To win the famous Batteraof T-shirt here are some rules:
• Men and Women have their own category
• You can try as many times as you like within a month's time
• Clean your sweat, blood and puke from the bike
• Don't bike outside!

HAPPY NEW CHALLENGE EVERYBODY!!

the AWARD went to...

Lot's of Batteraof Athletes send in their vote for the Batteraof BEAST of 2015 AWARD and 1 person's name was voted a bit more than others...
But before we tell you how great the Batteraof BEAST of 2015 is, let me share with you what athletes said about each other and get all warm and fuzzy inside just like me ;)
Check this out this presentation

And the award went to... CHRISTOPHE WELTENS
The athletes that voted for Christophe said the following:
"Always helpful to other athletes"
"He works hard and motivates people"
"He is always helpful , very eager to move forward and a great team player"

Batteraof Athlete of 2015 AWARD

Beloved Batteraoven,
Friday the 18th of December we are organizing a night dedicated to goals setting for 2016.
More info about the event can be found here.

During this event we will be announcing the Athlete of 2015!
2015 has been a great year for us, we have grown from zero to 140 members and we are very proud of all of you! We want to highlight 1 member that YOU think deserves the athlete of 2015 award.

When nominating think about these criteria:
Who made great progress this year.
Who's a great example for others.
Who has a great attitude.
Who works hard.
Who inspires others.
Who do you like to be around.
Who cheers everybody on during the WOD.

It would be great if you all would fill in the survey to vote for the athlete you think deserved this title.

SEE YOU THE 18th!!
 

A GOAL WITHOUT A PLAN IS JUST A WISH

SET YOUR GOALS FOR 2016

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” - Muhammad Ali -
 

Friday the 18th of December 2015 we are organizing a night of goal setting for 2016 in our CrossFit Batteraof box.

• Starting at 6pm you are welcome to drop in and talk to us about your personal goals for 2016. There will also be a form/questionnaire send around before the 18th so you can come prepared.

• Our new fysio team will present themselves and give a small demo of how they will be able to help with and prevent injuries.

• Ramon our new nutritionist will give a short presentation about his services and how to improve your food and drinking habits to support your health and sports. He will also be showing how a body composition measurement is done.

• The athlete of 2015 will be announced chosen by members of the box.

• There will be a picture presentation of 2015.

• Time for some action after all that talking! From 8 to 9 pm you can participate in the BARBELLS & BEER WOD for the men and the WHISKEY & WORST WOD for the women. We will be starting of with CrossFit Baseline and complete the WOD with CrossFit Total. 

Bring as many friends and family members as you like, just let us know who is coming.
If you want to contribute to this goal setting event please let us know!
