Tamalpais CrossFit and San Rafael Barbell are happy to announce 3 new programs that will run continuously throughout the year:

San Rafael Barbell Simply Strength
Simply Strength is simply that! Train smart, train consistently, work the plan and see the results. Strong people have one thing in common, they pick up heavy things and they train smart.
San Rafael Barbell was created to support and enhance the athletic desires of our members. Each week the three strength workouts will be announced. Our Strength Athletes will have the freedom to come in at any time during any regularly scheduled CrossFit Class and lift. Designed not only to improve your general strength capacity, this training will focus on the major Powerlifting skills: the Back Squat, the Bench Press and the Deadlift. This is a great way to keep up your strength and not interfere with your CrossFit training.
Before participating in Simply Strong, you must agree to adhere to our safety rules by, expressing and displaying a working understanding of the lifts. The safety of yourselves and others must remain a priority at all times. Squatting and Benching with the safety bars in place is mandatory.
