Sleep is one of the most underrated tools to improve performance and recovery. It is so important that early man still slept even though they did not have the secure environment of houses, locks, and security systems. Early man was low on the food chain more prey than predator, and yet from sundown to sunup […]

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

Hey Rob- I’m going to do this workout at the gym, what lb. DB’s do you suggest I use? See you tomorrow morning. Last night was fun and the decorations were great!

Hey Allison,
I would suggest 15-20lb DB for the Met Con. For the Front Squats I would suggest you try to get somewhere near 100lbs for the final set.

Buy-In: max height Box Jumps – unfortunately, only got to a 31″ height safely. May have been able to get a few more inches
WOD: 3×5 FS
warm-up – 110#, then:
155/155/165
Metcon – 8:43 w/35# db
Metcon was taxing on legs after the front squats, but probably hardest was holding up the db in the last set.
Nice way to start the Friday!!
