The next 70’s Big Seminar is scheduled for January 5th and 6th, 2013 at CrossFit Annandale near Washington DC (here is the information/purchase page) and consists of the Lifting Seminar on Saturday and the new Mobility and Programming Seminar on Sunday. This seminar weekend is significant for a few reasons.
1. I’m polishing and adding new material, particularly the mobility stuff. Day #2 now includes a Mobility portion prior to the lectures. Day 1 consists of attendees getting coached in lifting and Day 2 consists of a ‘mobility workshop’ in the morning and ‘how to program’ lectures for the rest of the day. Saturday’s lifting portion will provide the same coaching, but will have focused points of emphasis in a way that lets the attendee take them home to implement in coaching or training The mobility portion will feature material that I haven’t ever taught on the site or in seminars. The programming lectures are being reworked and improved (I constantly work on the material with each seminar I do, but this is an overhaul to present it differently).
2. This is the last seminar I’ll be doing for a while. This means that east coast folks on the fence about attending should make a point of getting a spot.
3. The seminar will be filmed. I don’t think this changes the experience for the attendee; if anything it elevates the level in which information is presented and taught (I’m already working on the material).
This seminar will be the best one I’ve ever done, so I hope you can make it. We always have a fine meal on Saturday evening (location undecided, but it’s been all you can eat Korean BBQ in the past) and CF Annandale has increased in size since the last seminar. If you have attended a seminar in the past, you’re eligible for a discount assuming you purchase both days (just shoot me an e-mail with “SEMINAR” in the subject).
As someone who has attended a seminar previously and also gone to a coaching session, if you are on the fence it is totally worth it. I am still using the programming information and some of the cues and don’t see an end to the utility. Plus, the CF Annanadale gym is pretty sweet and the crew there is awesome.
That’s all.
still waiting for you to do a seminar at Tamara’s gym or something so I won’t have to travel.
Yup, as a previous attendee at the DC seminar, Justin will take care of you. Great gym, great gals and guys, great meats…what the fuck else ya want?
When are you coming to Tokyo for a seminar? It’s the land of the rising sun and 60 kg waifs over here!
60kg? A rather generous overestimation don’t you think?
Unfortunately, you might be right. Hipsters have been the thing for a long time now.
I’m stoked. I just signed up!
I regret not going to the Tucson workshop.
Also, it looks like others are jumping on the short shorts bandwagon:

Not excited about #2. Justin, when are you going to show the Northwest some love?
FUCK being in the UK right now. we miss out on all the awesome seminars. any particular reason this will be the last one for a while or are you taking some pretty well earned rest?
on a side note, I have a question I think will be Q&A worthy. where do I email it to?
Will you ever come to visit Copenhagen (denmark)?
Shit. This is right down the street. Damn…time to find that $$$.
This is great news!
Is RGIII going to be there?
Yes. I texted him this morning. You down with RGIII?
Fuck no I am a Panthers fan. I am down with him getting sacked 100x by my boys Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson though.
YEAH I AM TALKING SHIT WITH A 3 WIN SEASON.
Does this get you in the feels to watch THE KRAKEN try and break your precious RG3sus?

He got sacked by a ninja turtle?!
The only appropriate response to my question would have been “Yeah you know me!”
Can’t recommend the seminar highly enough. You should all go to this. If I weren’t going to be in Seattle that weekend I’d be going (again), too! I’m actually pretty bummed I’ll miss it.
Seattle.
Beth’s 12 egg omelet as a post workout meal. Google it.
Nuff Said
Justin,
I’m effectively an absolute beginner. I haven’t lifted in years (and when I did lift, it was with really terrible form). I’ve finished reading SS and worked with some mobilitywod videos and am trying to figure out the form on the major lifts.
Am I correct to think this seminar is for late beginners/intermediate lifters based on your inclusion of the power cleans? Or is this lifting seminar basically for everyone?
Additionally, is the purpose of recording the seminar to sell DVDs or something (like Rip’s DVD) or is it to post on YouTube or what?
I am very interested in attending your seminar in January in Va. However, being from the North East. I know, one can never count on the weather. I would be traveling from 5 hours away.
is there a chance for refund/ credit should the weather not allow me to attend?
