CrossFit 864 - "No Whining Zone"
Today's schedule: 9:00a.m./4:15a.m./5:15p.m. /6:15p.m
"There are three things that strut proudly, really four that walk as if they were important: a lion, the proudest animal, which is strong and runs from nothing, a rooster, a male goat, and a king when his army is around him. "If you have been foolish and proud, or if you have planned evil, shut your mouth. Just as stirring milk makes butter, and twisting noses makes them bleed, so stirring up anger causes trouble."
-Proverbs 30:29-33
The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects.
-Lord Jeffrey

Today's schedule: 5:15a.m./9:00a.m./4:15p.m./5:15p.m./6:15p.m.
“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
-1 Samuel 16:7
"Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you. It might even take years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting."
-Randy Pausch
Reminder - August gym dues (by August2) Thank you!
Warm up
Today's WOD
Floor press 1-1-1-1-1
Proper Form - legs fully extended and butt stays in contact with the floor at ALL times during the lift. This is a test of upper body strength so raising your hips off the floor gives you leverage to move the weight up but we are not testing hip strength. You are not performing a true test of your one rep max if you do not use good form. Don't load the bar with more weight than you can press without getting sloppy. Good form equals a true test of upper body strength and anything else is a discounted scaled version.
Go for a 1RM PR Today!
Complete ten rounds for time:
5 Push-ups (CF style)
10 Supine ring rows (legs fully extended)
5 Broad jumps (6 feet / 4 feet)
Train Hard - Train Smart
BE STRONG!

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
-Philippians 2:3-4
You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
-Emil Zatopek
