Let's talk about something that I commonly see happen about the CF gym.... so, imagine this... you work your tail off for weeks (maybe even months) and then all of the sudden you do it!  You finally master that skill you've been working towards!  Great!  You feel proud.  You feel accomplished.  You think to yourself 'well I finally got that figured out' and 'next time that comes up in a WOD I'll finally be able to get that Rx'.  Maybe it's a muscle up, maybe stringing together your toes to bar, maybe it's that elusive first set of double-unders.  Here

Guys I need to congratulate you all!  The weeks have been hard, the WOD's grueling, and we are asking more and more out of all of you on not just a weekly but a daily basis.  You all have been doing great!  You are doing a great job of stepping into that training zone more and more often.  You are moving slow and with intention of movement.  You are really working, striving, sometimes even clawing ?, your way towards perfection in movement.  You are doing AWESOME!  As winter approaches take some time this week.  When you're lying in bed not

 ? OCTOBER 2020 ? As we head into October, we will continue to ride the Skill momentum of September while utilizing the increased conditioning in benchmark tests that combine capacity and skill! Skill work will continue at least once per week with you stepping out of the training mindset and into a practice mindset...slow down, be intentional, then speed it up! Starting the year we expected to see the Open take place this month, but as we know, things in this world change fast! In the spirit of the Open (which will now take place in February 2021) we will

This week will be a little different as we have the updated NCFit baseline testing that we will be doing on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  These will be baseline tests that will be repeated once per quarter.  The goal is to identify weak areas and improve upon them throughout the year.  It will also be nice to check-in on our progress in a more repeatable timeframe.  I can't wait! That's it for this week all.  Short and sweet.  Let's get to it!  See you at the Box!!! Announcements: Construction Pardon our dust.  There are some small construction projects going on around

WOW!  What a great weekend!  Develop Within was a ton of fun!  We got to spend the day cheering on our athletes and watching everyone push themselves in ways that they did not know they could.  Lots of people set personal records and grew so much.  It was great to see!  If you competed please make sure to take a couple minutes to be proud of what you accomplished.  No matter how you did, reflect on the day.  Congratulate yourself for what you did well and identify areas of improvement.  Come back to the gym with a plan for improvement.

This is going to be a BIG week!!!  Here it is at a glance... the end of our strength cycle with retests of our 2RM's for deadlift, back squat, and strict press.  Monday (Labor Day) will start out strong with the hero WOD Murph.  This won't be our typical big production like when we do Murph on Memorial Day but it is an opportunity for those who want a Murph score without coming right out of lock-down.  Friday will be a 9/11 memorial tribute workout.  Then we will be finishing the week out with a big bang.  Saturday is the
