IT'S 1RM WEEK!!!  Nine weeks later we are finally here!  Time to hit those new one rep maxes!  The energy will be high in classes, and you will get to showcase all of the hard work that you have been putting in.  I for one can't wait to see what you all are capable of.  Please remember to listen to your body.  Just because a 1RM is programmed does not mean that today is your day to hit one.  There are many factors in play.  If you have been on vacation, stressed, not sleeping well, or not eating well all

Here we are... finally at the end of our strength cycle.  This week is de-load then next week we'll all push the weight and hopefully hit new 1RM's.  This is when I send out a friendly reminder that de-loading is VERY improtant.  Please even if the weights feel light stick to the program.  Hit your numbers than give the extra effort in the WOD.  You'll get to show off soon enough and hit those heavy weights.  Next week will be here before you know it. Let's get ready CFD!!Here's what's left of our strength cycle:July/Aug Wendler CycleWeek 8 of 9

Not much going on this week besides a great week of training.  August is going to be a HEAVY month, pun intended, as we come to the end of our strength cycle and continue to go short with our workouts.  Oh, and going heavy would not feel quite right without the reappearance of Cali-Bear!  Oh, yeah.  We have that to look forward to this month.  Keep taking your recovery seriously and moving with good form.  This strength cycle is starting to feel a little bit repetitive but the benefits will show in every WOD for the rest of this year.

So... I've had something rumbling around in my head for several weeks now.  The issue is I was not sure exactually how to bring it up or talk about it.  Well after traveling this last week for work once again, I finally feel ready.  You see... I'm...  well... different.  There really is no other way to say it than that.  I'm different.  That's all.  I'm just a different type of person.  I'm not like most people and quite frankly I'm ok with that.  When others go out for drinks, I go and workout.  When they watch TV shows on the

Hope everyone is enjoying the strength cycle so far.  Everyone is looking good and starting to get very comfortable with moving their weights.  You are all doing a great job, but I'd like to put out a friendly reminder to prioritize form over all else.  We all have off days and as we start to crank up our weights, please remember if you're having an off day and not moving well don't push it at the expense of form.  Just because the program is stating you need to hit a certain weight that day it may not be right for
