Quote of the Week 10-1-2018

“It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.”

NEWS

The 631 THROWDOWN 3.0 is rolling guys!  Lots of amazing athletes have signed up, all our sponsors are signed on, and all our judges are being set this week.  Expect an incredible day full of powerful moments and surprises.  This will a celebration of how amazing this community can be.

COMMUNITY

Speaking of celebration- we have TONS of good news coming into this week!  Our own Dominic Ferrara has attained his L1, completed my shadowing program, and will be assisting me in coaching.  Ally “Darth” not only took first place last week in the Cascade Classic, but is now ranked SECOND IN THE WORLD by Spartan.  Jeremy “Mittens” is at his L1 right now to expand his passion for CrossFit.  I am so pleased we could bring this amazing sport to the next generation.

PROGRAMMING

This will be our third week of hypertrophy based strength training.  We will utilize the barbell more than last week and bump up our rep ranges from 15 to 20.  We now should all be able to maximally contract the working muscle and really create a mind muscle connection- this will be incredibly beneficial in the upcoming weeks.  Be ready for one of my favorite girls “Linda” on Thursday.

“When the character of a person is not clear to you, look at their friends.”

NEWS

Thank you for all the help with the 631 THROWDOWN 3.0!  We have an amazing day set up for us for sure.  Lots of food (probably too much) Kill Cliff, vendors, and tables will be there.  We will have lots of t-shirts and some surprises for you as well.  I am so excited to celebrate our amazing community and all the positives CrossFit has brought to our lives.

PROGRAMMING

This begins our second week of hypertrophy training, focusing on mind muscle connection and getting a pump.  We will be upping the repetitions of our main lifts from last week’s 10 to 15.  Use this and the next few weeks as a unique opportunity to bring up lagging or weak body parts.  We also get to hit “The Mittens” our member of the month WOD this Tuesday!  Again, from here out the week’s programming will be listed at the bottom of this blog.

COMMUNITY

This weekend our own Ally “Darth” Gurovich took first place in The Cascade Classic competition held in Seattle-  This is a crazy big deal for us guys!  Please wish her a big congratulations when you see her this week.  On a personal note it has been an honor for me to watch Ally grow from a shy 15 year old to a powerhouse and accomplished athlete.

I will keep this part short- The first shirt I ever designed at 631 said the words “Rise Above” on the back, this has been a sort of personal mantra for me.  Where others quit and took the easy path I made sure to do just that, Rise Above.  I really need to thank my community from the bottom of my heart for your support not only this week but day in and day out.  You guys make it clear that no matter what obstacles or pettiness we may face, we will all Rise Above.
