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. […]

Wicked cool video.
Rob- I wasn’t aware that we were able to do all of the KBs and pull ups unbroken. Last time I did Helen I thought it was mandatory that my hands come off the bar at least 5 times a set. Ok- no worries, I will know better next time ;).
Also- I’m considering buying that bikini-top-thingy that Carey is wearing. Maybe that’ll make me go faster. That’s probably what’s been holding me back this whole time!

Ok. So I’ve watched Lance’s last round of pull-ups about five times now and he definitely only did 11. He’s an animal though. Here’s another classic Crossfit Helen video for inspiration:

WOW Ryan, Rob and Nichole- great times and PRs!!!
No gym today, but I participated in fitness at rugby practice today-
Buy in: max squats in 1 minute (54)
Then on the minute for 10 cycles- 40 yd shuttle run (there and back) + 5 squats + 5 push ups. I typically had about 30 seconds to rest each cycle before the minute was up.
Cash out: max squats in 1 minute (51)
