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!

PR'S CRUSHED, WEAKNESSES ATTACKED

Not just another day at the Batteraof box, but crush 1 PR and attack 2 weaknesses day! Let me share with you some of the highlights of the day... Get ready to be impressed;

Sander did not 1 but 2 bar muscle ups today and got massive biceps immediately after...he is also a great photomodel as you can see!

Victor did something amazing today, he improved his Deadlift PR with 90kg!! Going from 80kg to a 170kg deadlift. Great stuff 

Karin did 3 unbroken kipping handstand pushups today without an abmat!  Got a PR and she looked great doing it :)

Danny added at least 5kg to his Deadlift PR!! Without a hookgrip ;) So who knows how much he can lift next time with the hookgrip... 

I just like this picture!!! By the way Vivian also broke her PR on the power clean without planning to do so! Did I tell you that I like this picture!! 

Mandy didnt give up and got that 110kg Deadlift after the class was over. Great spirit! Never give up!!

Antony's back squats are deep and strong! Crushed his PR with 10kg and is still smiling :))

Hermes is just great in everything, everyday is a PR day! 

How many bar muscle ups unbroken did you do Iv Oo? And how many meters did you walk on your hands? And how many strict pull ups did you do with a weighted vest? And thrusters and and and...... Great day! 

Lee Roy added 10kg to his Clean and Jerk. He also got arms sticking out of his ears 😁 

All in all it was a great day and we hope you enjoyed it too! Lets keep on attacking those darn weaknesses and bring on some new PR's! Great job BEASTS.
