The Olympics start tonight ( Friday ) 

With a bunch of cool events coming up which ones are you looking forward to? Anything different than before. Do you appreciate some things a little more or look at any thing differently now that you have attempted some of what you will see in the Olympics. 

After a muscle up this should be easy right...

So that was pretty Epic today right. Every one who came in just competed in a professional sport on some level or another. Which makes every one at the gym with a professional athlete... Right? Every one seemes to have fun with the no rep standards and most everyone had an improvement in their movements when they were rigidly imposed. If only I had a way to provide judges for every single workout... hmmm. Wait I know You can be your own judge. We all have a pretty good idea of when our form starts to break down and when movements may not be what they are supposed to. While I cannot watch every one in the gym constantly and I do not typically give out no reps during a workout you can do that yourself very easily.. and you should. It will give you more accurate times and holding out selfs to a higher standard never hurts us especially when our goal is bettering ourself.

As for the Games WOD we will hold another WOD on Saturday at 10 am. we will be holding our regular 4 pm work out as well that day. If you are interested in trying again at another time I am willing to come in but it will depend on my schedule as well.

Good job every one.

Kevin

Tips for success:

• This is a marathon not a sprint that being said getting off to a good start can set you up for success the rest of the way where as going out and having a binge day or week sometime this week can make it a struggle the whole way
• Remember this is a challenge based on performance not weight loss so you should eat accordingly I recommended the Zone but whatever fits your lifestyle just pick it and stick to it. What you do and how well you stick to it will explain why you are at the top of the list at the end or the bottom



Eric

• Since this is a performance based challenge once you know the WOD don't be afraid to do a little extra work during the challenge 200 bucks is worth and extra 15 minutes at the end of the WOD each day... Tabatta's are great for this 
• Struggling with something Feel free to talk to Me I have done this and I know that it works and I know what it is like to struggle through it. Correy has also done this and can answer questions  
• Cheat days are not a must but it is a good idea to plan them so that you do not start taking them irregularly (and end up with 3 or 4 a week )  don't take one for the first two weeks of whatever you choose to do and then figure out when you need one and plan for it.
• Drink lots and lots and lots and lots of water. Whatever you do will help curb hunger as well as just being the best thing most of us can do to improve our health

:) GOOD LUCK :)
