Quote of the Week 1-8-2024

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?”

NEWS

Welcome back friends! Last week I began reaching out to each of you directly and boy, oh boy did my inbox get flooded with New Year's resolutions and reasons some of you guys hate New Year’s resolutions. Thank you for the dialogue- it is so rewarding to be able to engage with each of you.

A few weeks back we posted about any interest in a training Sunday. We got back some very positive responses and I am happy to announce that when you talk, we listen. Stay tuned this week for a brand new program that I think will add tons of fun and value to our training year. 

PROGRAMMING

This week starts a classic 5x5 Strength split. We want to end all our traditional, compound movements at around 80%-85% of our working 1RM. This is a tall order but I know we are up for it. Use your Coaches! If you are unsure of your weights- ask. That’s what we are here for and that’s what we do. PS- don’t sleep on our Metcons this week, they look far easier than they are.
