CrossFit 864 - WOD
5:15a.m./9:00a.m./4:15p.m./5:15p.m./6:15p.m.

Warm-up/Range of motion work

WOD

5 minutes of Turkish Get Ups

then

25-20-15 reps of:
Kettlebell Swings (35/53)
Jumping Air Squats

Form and Range of motion are an important part of all of our training. Don't settle for half reps unless you just want half of the benefit of it.

Today's workout -
Jumping Squats: Work toward getting low (at least parallel or below) and explode on the jump getting as high off the floor as possible on each rep. It takes a lot more energy to complete full reps. If you are lacking flexibility and have tight/stiff hips, etc then maybe you will benefit from hip mobility drills, squat therapy (squatting against the wall) range of motion work.
KBell Swings: When performed properly the kettlebell swing works the entire posterior chain and builds explosive strength and power in the hips. Focus on using your hips to generate the power for the swing - this is a very explosive movement.

The TGU is a highly functional movement that requires all of the muscles of the body working together in order to accomplish the task. Everyone understands that deadlifting properly and pulling respectable numbers is going to make you strong and the Turkish Get up will accomplish the same type of strength when programed into your training.

If you think you can judge others, you are wrong. When you judge them, you are really judging yourself guilty, because you do the same things they do. God judges those who do wrong things, and we know that his judging is right. You judge those who do wrong, but you do wrong yourselves. Do you think you will be able to escape the judgment of God? He has been very kind and patient, waiting for you to change, but you think nothing of his kindness. Perhaps you do not understand that God is kind to you so you will change your hearts and lives. But you are stubborn and refuse to change, so you are making your own punishment even greater on the day he shows his anger. On that day everyone will see God's right judgments. God will reward or punish every person for what that person has done. Some people, by always continuing to do good, live for God's glory, for honor, and for life that has no end. God will give them life forever. But other people are selfish. They refuse to follow truth and, instead, follow evil. God will give them his punishment and anger.
-Romans 2:1-8

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just go through the pain no matter what happens"
-Arnold Schwarzenegger

You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?

Have you enjoyed the "CrossFit Girls" this week? They can be rough at times. There has been a lot of hard work going on in the gym this week. You are getting stronger and faster! It is awesome to see so many of you understanding that CrossFit is so much more than just an intense workout. You are challenging yourself and motivating those around you to give 100% and to not accept anything less than that....and for this I say Hooyah!

Hooyah is the war cry or battle cry most commonly used in the US Navy, though sometimes exclusively associated with the Navy SEALs. It is similar to the expressions Oorah in the Marine Corps and Hooah in the U.S. Army. The Marines frequently use this term to reference an item to which they do not know or cannot remember the name to. It is also used to say Ok or understood or is sometimes used to show enthusiasm.

What is motivating you today?

It has been a great week and looking forward to a great weekend coming up - don't forget the Saturday morning workout at 8:30a.m.

-The run starts at 8:30a.m.

-Race number/t-shirt pick-up between 7:30a.m.-8:15a.m. Saturday morning
-You can register the morning of the run between 7:30a.m.-8:15a.m.
-Please do not park in the Palmetto Bank parking lot.
-Wear your CrossFit 864 t-shirt - show your pride!

A "BIG THANKS" to all of the CrossFitters that are coming out to support this event. This is just another great example of how CrossFit is more than a just a workout, more than just a way to become incredibly fit...it is a community of dedicated, hard working, people that not only support each other very much but also support many good things within our town. I am proud to be part of a group like this!

There are many out there that run and that's all they do. There are many that lift weights and that's all they do. The runners might be a little faster but I promise you they are not stronger and the lifters might be stronger on some lifts but I promise they cant run with you and neither would be able to combine the two very well. You are different because we incorporate so much more into our workouts, we lift heavy weights, run, jump, lunge, push, pull, swing in about every combination imaginable.

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
-Psalm 25:4-6

"Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'."

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”
- 1 John 3:16

“We need to stop making excuses for others. People need to stop feeling bad for themselves. Life is tough. That’s a fact. There are good times and bad times. There are action takers and action fakers. There are ultra busy professionals who make time for fitness, while others don’t. We all have options, and we all make our own decisions. If someone has made poor decisions, I won’t sugarcoat it and console them with more excuses.”
- Ross Enamait

It looks like winter is gone (finally) and we skipped spring and went straight into summer so remember to bring a big water bottle to the gym...you will need it before, during and after the workout.
