Rise Of CrossFit Inner Stallion

A little over 4 weeks ago, Sarah () or “SIzz” as she’s known - stepped out onto the platform at the Wolverine Showdown with a singular goal: qualify to lift in the AO Series 1 at the Arnold Classic.

Today she sees that goal realized. All of the training, the accessory work, the ungodly amount of tempo front squats, all for this moment. Your community is rooting for you and wishing you luck 🍀 we know you’re going to crush it 💪🏼

Sizz lifts at 2PM EST on the red platform:

“Once more unto the breach.” - Henry V

Whenever coach Greg () is testing his lifts, he scrawls that saying onto a white board where it stays for the duration of the session. It was a phrase spoken by Henry V during the Hundred Years War to rally his troops to attack, or breach, an enemy’s wall.
This week, 3 of our athletes are headed into battle at the Arnold Classic in Columbus to put their hard work, dedication and commitment to the test.
Beki () is lifting in the Nike 2022 National University Championship meet as a 71KG lifter. She will be lifting on Saturday, March 5th.
Coach Greg and Coach Sizz () are both lifting in the North American Open Series 1. Sarah (Sizz) will be our first athlete of the week, she takes the platform on Thursday, March 3rd, while Greg lifts on Friday the 4th.
We will update once we have the final schedule, but please join in wishing these three luck as they head once more unto the breach and leave it all on the platform.
Special thanks to Coach EZ () for making the trip from South Dakota to Ohio to coach these athletes, for his programming, and for spending countless hours reviewing all of our lifting videos. Greg has an abundance of Scandinavian Swimmers and some beer as a thank you.

If you want to be like these three athletes and be a part of the ISA Barbell team, reach out today!! Even if your goal is not to compete but to improve your lifting technique we can help!

Sometimes life has strange ways of telling you to slow down. When it comes unexpectedly, it’s difficult not to feel defeated. Your introspective strength has to overcome the obstacles that have potential to paralyze you from mentally progressing.
Life sent that message to .mv while she was in the midst of prepping for a 1/2 Ultra. She was told after a hairline fracture that the main means of her training had to cease for 6 weeks- running. Nevertheless, she has stayed focused on her goals, hasn’t said no to any of the crazy set ups we’ve created for her modifications, and she’s now walking pain free and going for her first run this week!
Cheers to you, Tanya, for taking life’s obstacle, and making it a prop for your boot!
