Dec 22 - Jan 2

Here is our upcoming schedule:

Closed next Mon-Wed (12/24-12/26)
Open gym with suggested workouts Thur & Fri (12/27-12/28) 10am-2pm
Saturday (12/29) Group Class @ 9am and Open Gym 10am-12pm
Closed Sun-Tues (12/30-1/1)
Open for *normal hours Wed (1/2) and on.
*6:30am Class will now start at 6:00am.

I will post WODs in the gym each day we have open gym to give you guys some ideas. I also suggest that you take this time to establish some 1 rep max lifts (Clean and Jerk, Snatch, Back Squat...etc.). This would also be a good time to attempt one of your goals that you set for yourself last year (Fran, Pull Ups, Muscle ups....etc.)

Over eat! Don't over drink! Don't drive if you do drink! Enjoy your holidays and we expect to see you at the gym over the next week!

You have heard us talk about controlling your insulin a lot, but there is another hormone you guys want to be conscious of. That is Cortisol. This is the stress hormone. Everyone has felt this hormone before, it is that feeling you get when you lean to far back in your chair and your gut tells you that you are about to die. That is a spike of Cortisol. So yes it is important, but we need to keep it in check.

Cortisol fluctuates through out the day but for the most part it is higher in the morning and lower at night. This is how you want it.

Here are some tips to get this in line.
Go to sleep and wake up around the same time every day. Including weekends.
Don't exercise late at night.
Lower your stress. Sleep, exercise and diet are factors that we can easily control and can alleviate much of the stress on our body.

If you are one of those people that have trouble relaxing in a relaxing atmosphere your Cortisol is probably off. If you have trouble losing that last bit of belly fat and you eat and exercise right, your Cortisol is probably off. If you are sleepy in the morning and energized at night, yep...Cortisol is off. This is treatable and can make a world of difference in your day to day activities. Try it out.....can't hurt!

Buy 3!

Get your rest on! Your rest days are also recovery days. CrossFit can leave you pretty sore, especially when you first start and your body is adjusting to new movements or movement at all for that matter. Soreness may last up to a few days. This is okay, you will begin to recover faster as you get more fit.

What should I do on my Rest Days?
Sleep! Obviously this should be done everyday. Most of your recover occurs while you are asleep. Do it and do a lot of it to maximize recovery and performance.

Hydrate! Do it and do a lot of it. Water helps flush out lactic acid and other waste that causes soreness. Rehydrating the muscles will also keep inflammation down.

Stretch and Roll Out! Do it and do a lot of it. This will keep blood and nutrients flowing to the muscles which will help them recover.

Thought this could use a re-post. Funny...yet so true sometimes.

After a little laugh, let's address the "too fast to care" category. 

Yes, sometimes it is just because your mind is somewhere else during your uncomfortable state of high intensity training. That is why we are there to come by and tell you to make corrections. Listen to these corrections and make your best effort to fix them. Will it slow you down some? Probably. That is okay, this is training. Yes, we want you to push yourself, but you have to take the time to do it right. 

The more often you do a movement correct the less time you will have to take setting up for that movement later....muscle memory (familiarity of the movement due to repetition) will take over. That is why you see Ken's Clean and Jerks in Grace all look exactly the same.  He has taken the time to perfect the Clean and Jerk and now he can do a lot of them and do them fast without risk of injury.

Now to address the Strength side. You will have less limitation in the future if you lift as heavy as possible without allowing your form to go away. Check the ego sometimes and let your self train at a lower percentage to help you stay safe and get really strong in "good / strong" positions. Not everyday is a MAX OUT day!! There is a reason it is a max lift and it is because something is starting to give out. Here is what a cycle should look like:
5 x 5 Back Squat - all 5 sets @ 70-80% (ex. 245#) (good form) 
5 x 3 Back Squat - all 5 sets @ 80-87% (ex. 275#) (good form)
5 x 2 Back Squat - all 5 sets @ 87-93% (ex. 300#) (good form)
5 x 1 Back Squat - all 5 sets @ 93-97% (ex. 315#) (good form)
We tell you 1RM Back Squat - Max out (Best form you can do!)
