Ben’s impressive 9th-place finish at the 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games was absolutely incredible to watch! And it becomes even more impressive when you keep in mind that he writes his own supplemental strength programming. Clearly, he’s doing something right! You can join the growing group of Stoneberg Strength followers by signing up for his workout blog at StonebergStrength.com. Complete his quick and effective strength workouts 5 days/week (albeit probably a little scaled, it’s hard to move as much weight as Ben!) and see huge results!

In his third appearance in LA, Ben has improved his ranking each time, rising 7 spots from last year. You may even see Ben in the gym tomorrow trying the start his journey for 2015.

CFI’s summer boot campers are finishing up their last 2 weeks in their two month long introduction to fitness. We started back in mid June with 20 ladies, and we will be finishing with 20 badass lady crossfitters. They have done a remarkable job during this time, and have set themselves up with a great foundation to build on. They are now able to drop in to a regular class every now and then. So if you see one of these lady’s, give them a high five and tell them about your own CFI story.

if you are participating in the Paleo Challenge starting August 4th, you need to pay at the desk, and grab a packet. 10 weeks isn’t that long, and the results you could see is going to make it all worth it!

Ben continues to move up the leaderboard! Mid way through Saturday he found himself in 8th place.
