2015

2014 season has come to a close for us and now we look on to next year.  I know all of us learned a lot. I know I did, especially for preparing for next year.  But who knows CrossFit seems to always be 1 step ahead of the majority.

I am very pleased with everyones progress that has followed this blog and want to continue the success into the summer/fall.

Quick word of caution: The time after regionals is when a good percentage of people get hurt.  They get so pumped up and start training as if they are going to regionals next weekend.  BE SMART it is a long off season and then the season is just as long.  You are not going win anything today, tomorrow or the next months…but you can set yourself way back if you are not smart.  This is the time to baby nagging shit, if it doesn't feel right skip it do something else similar. If you ever have questions text me.

Here is what is going to happen for the next 6 months.  This blog will be open to everyone and then once the season begins in January it will go back to being Private for numerous reason. We will do a better job of posting on the small white board come that time.

Now remember the class is top priority.  This blog is supplemental work, and we are able to do this because of the classes.  So briefly here are some rules (which can be added to at any time), and remember this is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT.  DO NOT ABUSE IT

Rule #1: Class takes priority, if you are 10 minutes into a 12 minute AMRAP and the class needs your space you are done

Rule #2: Avoid dropping barbells/rowing/airdyne'ing during instruction.  During warm-up is ok but once instruction begins silence your shit.  You should all know the timing of everything by now.  8-10 mins for a warm up so you can squeeze something in before instruction begins.

Rule #3: Be a part of a class.  Warm-up with one, do the WOD with one, stay after and cheer on other members.

Rule #4: DO NOT ACTIVELY tell people to follow this.  If someone asks you what you are doing say Pete has a supplemental blog…GO TALK TO PETE about it.  I want to go over all the rules with them.

Rule #5: We are not Rich Froning. More is not always better, Quality work is always better. However we will be doing more than we did last year, because we have it under our belts.

That is about it for now.

Training for 2015 will begin on Monday June 9th.

In the mean time hit the class workouts and test the maxes.
