Quote of the Week 8-26-2019

“There are no limits.  There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

NEWS

The rumors are true- my Board of Directors and I are planning another Competition!  We are thinking mid November sometime and it’s looking like another partner competition.  I got such positive feedback from our last Throwdown that I couldn’t help myself but to do another.  Start planning your teams and if you are interested in judging please let me know.

COMMUNITY

Our new T-shirts are almost all gone!  Be sure to grab yours this week. If you missed out don’t worry too much, Dom and I are looking to put out a new design next month as well.

This week we start our Athlete Check-ins.  Some of you have already received emails scheduling your appointment and if you haven’t, keep checking your inbox.  These will be a chance to get some one on one time with me and discuss motivation and goals.  

PROGRAMMING

Here we go- 1 Rep Max Week!  Let’s fill up the board with heavy PRs and push our limits.  Time to celebrate these powerful moments! I have some real interesting Metcons this week including pistols, a vested WOD, a Mile Run PR attempt and Tabata workout, a take on “Jackie”, and a straightforward, classic CrossFit AMRAP.
