WHAT are we doing today???
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
some people just got it on certain days....
500m Row
50 Double-Unders
400m Run
Justin flying through his double unders at record pace.
Rachel pressing her 1RM for 3 solid reps!!!!
Erin following suit. Weight not getting any lighter...just everyone
seems to be getting stronger!
Some days in the gym you may feel like everything seems lighter than normal. While other days everything feels extremely heavy. Stop and reflect when this happens and notice any patterns?
Did you get more or less sleep the night before than you normally do? How did your diet go in the last few days? Less stressed or just completely stressed out?
Really take the time to think about about it and you might just find the reason you are having such a good or bad day on that particular day. Those days when the bar just flies around magically....those are the days you enjoy every single rep and take full advantage of you're super hero powers. Set a new PR, push yourself that extra step during the metcon, or perhaps finish the day with a new time on your 500 meter row record.
Those are the days we all look forward to. So when is you're next one coming?

Should women train the same way as Men?
Deadlift - set a new 5RM
AMRAP in 12 minutes
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Box Jumps
"Seriously, though: men and women should work out the same way. That is, provided they have the same goals of developing functional strength, promoting lean body mass over adipose tissue, and improving health, both men and women are best suited to lifting heavy, hard, and with great intensity. Hormonal differences and diet will alter how this lifting program affects you and how much hypertrophy occurs, but the end result is the same: an increased strength to body weight ratio, which is vital for true Primal health and fitness. You’ll increase musculature, but it’s not going to be superficial, bloated muscle. It’s going to be muscle that makes sense, fat-burning muscle that fits your body and fits your genes. After all, you’re just providing the right environment for your genes through proper diet, adequate sleep, normalized stress levels, and – now – the right kind of movements." -Mark from Mark's Daily Apple
