Congratulations to our member of the month, Sal Filiberto!!!
Sal has been making some serious strides since joining CrossFit Vae Victis. Since day one he has been extremely focused on the finer points of all his movements and has been plugging away at his technique on all of his lifts, especially the olympic lifts. He’s extremely coachable and takes in everything that each of the coaches gives him to work on. He’s also not afraid to keep things light, train smart and avoid injury.
A few months ago, Sal expressed to us that he was interested in getting stronger and making his strength work more of a priority. After some discussion and suggestions, he has put that advice to work. He works with all of our coaches to adapt each day and often modifies the workout to focus on more strength gains. He can also be found regularly putting in extra work during Open Gym. With all of these things combined and a positive attitude, we’ve seen a lot of PR’s coming Sal’s way.
We look forward to seeing Sal’s continued progress and thank him for his always positive presence inside the box!
