Scorpion CrossFit

For about three months DGM has been doing Spartan training to get all of the athletes ready for the challenge. As well as training on campus we have been trying something new this year called cross fit. We have been training at Scorpion Cross fit twice a week for about a month and a half.

What is cross fit? It is high intensity full body movement. It crosses over multiple activities such as track and field, weight lifting, gymnastics and intense workouts. SCF has been extremely generous by helping us train at there facility.

Chazz and Colleen are the 2 coaches who have been

kindly training us. Each week they come up with different work outs to help us prepare for Spartan race day. Work outs such as, rope climbs, biking, running burpee’s

mountain climbers, squats and much more.

SCF gave all of the DGM’s Spartan team an advantage of working even harder to be prepared for the challenge.

After finishing the race, in my opinion, it was extremely helpful to have done training at SCF. It taught me how to push harder and as well as have the proper technique when doing burpees, squats, mountain climbers (etc.)

At SCF we worked on rope climbing an it was very helpful to me because when you practice and practice you get better at it every time. I put that training into the rope-climbing obstacle at Spartan grounds and conquered it.

One thing I wish we could have practiced more on was a weight lifting circular object with out handles. I feel like it would have prepared us more for those types of obstacles at the Spartan grounds.
