Workout of the Day

4 rounds for time
60 unbroken double unders
30 unbroken wall balls – 20#/14# to 10 ft

Sectionals Athletes: Rest day tomorrow. Plan for a 2 – 3 hour session on Tuesday.

Read “Joint by Joint Approach to Training” by Mike Boyle. It will give you some insight on why backs ache, or knees hurt, or how rotator cuffs come to get inflamed. You might be surprised that it has very little to do with your back, knee or rotator cuff itself. The coles notes version of *what* to do about it… do your joint mobility including wall slides and lots of hip/ankle work… make sure you’re regularly training GHD raises and ring rows. If you *do* get an ache, ice it, but also look “upstream” and “downstream” for the source of the problem. Read the full article at TMUSCLE.com (note, this site is not very work/family safe)

A.
evening prime time class

With a 10:00 time limit, row 2000m and complete AMRAP double unders. (this workout is from the Big Dawgs Championship Series… yes it’s super tight on the time limit for some of you - just do your absolute best… and yes, you should probably push for a PR 2k row)…

B.

Half tabata mountain climbers
Tabata Single leg glute bridge (alternate legs each round)*
Half tabata grasshoppers
Tabata N-ups

* Glute bridges will be at a slower tempo to be done correctly. Aim for 3-4 controlled reps per round. Learn to activate your glute vs. arch your back.

Big Dawgs Championship Series Participants

Make sure you have access to facility for all workouts. It would be a REALLY good idea to show up during the morning classes to start your workouts if you don’t have everything figured out yet. Workouts and workout rules are posted here:

Real Food Challenge Update

The entries are coming in and and I congratulate all of you who are willing to give this a shot. I know that taking those before pics is not an easy thing to do. I promise you – if you give this a real shot, you will feel better, perform better and look better. I’d like to remind you that no one will see your photos without your permission.

In fact, we are updating the rules as follows:

- I will select the top 3 males and top 3 females out of all the entries. The other coaches will help me make this decision based on your performance. If you give me permission, I will also show your before and after photos to the coaches only to help with this decision.

- The top 6 will be contacted and if they give permission, we will print their before and after photos on paper. We will NOT post any photos online for voting. With your permission, we will show only the other participants the photos on paper and short essays and the participants will vote to select the winner.
