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. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

Word to the wise: do NOT try to go from 7 weeks of paleo (a.k.a. no gluten, dairy, or sugar) STRAIGHT to a dinner replete with handmade pasta, cream sauce, bread, and home made chocolate cake with icing and ice cream. It does NOT turn out well! Ana and I can attest to this:(

Today was a good WOD…Rob had me carry the men’s weight, which really was a challenge for me, but in a great way! It isn’t fun to finish LAST, but at the same time I really felt challenged, which was a great feeling! Sometimes you can’t look at the clock…you have to focus on doing it right and really pushing yourself (good lesson for me to learn). Thanks for all the support of my 5 am peeps! 🙂
Snatch Balance – 85 lbs
Met Con: 15:30 (started with 65 lbs…did drop to 45 pounds on the LAST OH Walk – my shoulders were in major pain…but it did feel GREAT)
Also – Thank you Rob – I had forgotten what it is like to run with “The Big Dogs”! Between yesterday and today…my eyes are opened and focused!

Vanessa says:

@Rob – blow drying my hair after this work out was almost as hard as the work out! LOL! Made me want to consider shaving MY head…JUST kidding…that would never happen!

Snatch balance: 67 lbs
MetCon: 17.56 mins w/37 lbs, started with rings push-ups and had to drop to push-ups ON MY KNEES half-way through the last round.
Whilst this is likely the very, very most brutal, beat-me-down WOD I have ever done – it was a great chance to highlight some opportunity areas for training and great feeling to finish! Thanks to all for the encouragement and a special shout-out to Coach Steph D! 🙂
Let’s just say – I am very happy to have curly hair that looks the same whether I wash it or not!

SB: 115
MetCon: 13:52. My left arm was killing me so i turned this into a right arm only workout, using a 53 lb kb on the OH walk and a 35 lb kb on the OH squats. Brutal WOD.

Ana, I have felt that way so many times with Crossfit! Your in the middle of the workout and you feel like it’s impossible to finish. You just keep pushing and then it feels amazing to finish. Work on the weeknesses and a couple months down the line you will look back and be amazed by your progress!
