Badger Weightlifting Open meets success
The Badger Weightlifting Club's first Olympic-style Weightlifting open held competition to a new standard. On April 29 at Badger CrossFit, more than 45 lifters trekked from all over Wisconsin and Chicago to stack their clean and jerk, and snatch ability against fellow athletes. Spearheaded by Coach Chris Goff, club participants included Big Mike Quesada, Joe Paul, David Sami, John Hintz and Paul Ralston. We'd like to thank the plethora of volunteers and spectators who helped make the inaugural event an incredible success. Onto the next one!

Community Garden growing strong
In case you haven't seen, we have a vibrant community garden just behind our building! The second year sowing and reaping, the garden is home to a plethora of vegetables including tomatoes, peas, squash, peppers, broccoli, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, onions, cauliflower, thyme, rosemary, mint and more. Keep your eyes to Facebook when the harvest is ready for non-garden volunteers!

BCFers dance the night away
About 30 inspiring dancers came out in April to let loose with our own Eddie Molenda at BCF's first Hip Hop WOD & Wine. A warm-up and simple routine gave attendees the opportunity to show off their fancy footwork all while taking the much-needed wine breaks. Special props to the handful of gentlemen in attendance. CrossFit transferred to real life. Look for another Hip Hop WOD & Wine coming in October!

Join Badger's Committed Club
The Committed Club is a public showing of your commitment to fitness and health through consistency. To be a part of the committed club, you must RSVP and check in to Zen Planner at BCF 20 times or more in one month. This includes FUNCTION, CrossFit and the Weightlifting Club (not Mobility or Open Gym).
At the end of each month, BCF will list everyone who made it on the Web site along with the number of times attended/checked-in next to their name. BCF will select one athlete at random from this list for a special little prize. All you need to do is be consistent and RSVP. New chances begin July.

BCF is invading Miller Park for the 6th year running on July 15. We are taking it back old school this year — beer darts, home brew, bags, grills, games and friendly conversations with the parking lot police. Meet at BCF around 2:30p if you want to caravan together for the 3p tailgate. The game starts at 6:10p. Ticket orders through Badger are closed, but even if you did not purchase tickets to the game, you are still welcome to attend the tailgate. Please sign up for food on the FOOD tab here.
The event is open to all BCF athletes and their significant others. We do caution bringing kids to the tailgate. See you there!
