Hey Everyone! August in Wisconsin let us know who was boss this weekend, that's for sure!  I don't know about you, but this past week of programming has me ready for a bit of a deload week, which is what we're about to walk into.  Remember that a deload week does not mean "easy," it is an opportunity to focus on other areas of our fitness outside of heavy lifting.  This week we will see high volume workouts with skills we have been building, including pull-ups, double-unders, wall balls, and handstand push-ups. DEVELOP WITHIN is coming!  Register for CFD's indy

CFD Athletes! You all crushed the first week of the push/pull programming. This week we saw a few opportunities for "training" days where you were able to push your strength threshold as well as incorporate skill building. As a coach, this was very exciting to watch. This week you will notice the word "STIMULUS" on the whiteboard. The intention for this is to keep in mind the intended stimulus of the programming, and adjust (scale) the workout appropriately for yourself so that you are hitting that stimulus every day. Challenge yourself and hold yourself accountable! This is where we find
