My New Favorite Website
Written by C.J. Martin

We all love Sage; that’s a given.  But now you can see even more of her!  This should make life better for all of us, and will DEFINITELY help you improve your Olympic weightlifting.

First, Sage is going to have more time to take clients for individual coaching sessions.  If you have a weightlifting goal for 2010, let us know now so you can get on her schedule.  She is now able to take clients in the morning and early afternoon, so don’t let your evening schedule be an excuse.

Second, Sage is opening up two more seminars – which means 12 more lucky people will have an opportunity to get into a 4 week clinic with her for only $49.  The new sessions (in addition to MTuW at 6:30 p.m.) will be Wednesday at noon and Thursday night at 6:30 p.m.  Please sign up on the whiteboard or by emailing info@crossfitinvictus.com.

Finally, if you cannot make it into Invictus to improve your lifts with Sage, you have to check out my new favorite website.  Sage has taken on the enormous task of breaking down the Olympic lifts one small segment at a time on her new blog.  That is admirable in and of itself, but it’s the way she tackles the issues that makes this my favorite site.  She isn’t pretentious, and doesn’t make anything harder than it has to be.  Instead, she is freaking hilarious while still delivering solid content.  Be warned, I almost peed my pants the first time I watched a few of her rap videos.

Check out Sage’s awesome blog!
