Lifts for the Week of August 13

Happy Monday all!

First of all, thank you for all who came out to our Grand Opening Party this past Saturday. The day was a big success and we had a ton of fun putting it on. We had lots of winners so make sure to pick up your free swag next time you’re at the Box.

Secondly, we are returning to more typical programming with regular skill work being added back in. Hopefully you all feel great headed into this week. Please keep concentrating on mobility moving forward. After all mobility is the basis of all quality movements. Proper mobility and quality movement patterns is what will keep you safe and healthy as the weights increase. Keep doing all the stretches you’ve learned over the past week!

One last point I’d like to touch on is “Gainz”. The newer members of our community should start noticing changes. At this time please do not concentrate on the scale. Total body weight is only one measure of quality of life. Some of you may notice that you are in fact gaining weight at this point. That is not a bad thing! Your body is still adjusting to the new lifestyle you’ve undertook and you have started to gain muscle. You’re right on track. Keep up the good work and let’s hit this week strong.
