Special Saturday WOD

So although we will be celebrating Christmas I thought it would be a great chance to remember all those that serve our country. Some families will be without parents for Xmas either due to work or loss of life so we will be spending this saturday in fancy dress remembering. 
When Dave Castro spoke on the death of his friend, “I’ve lost a lot of friends as SEALs. It happens. But this was a shock. Suicide, that’s a tough one. I don’t understand it.” Castro, admits he isn't trying to raise suicide awareness with this workout, recognising the burden many service members carry around, especially those in the elite special forces community. “So many people who’ve done this for a long time have seen things and done things that most normal people don’t,” Castro said. “These people are carrying around things we don’t understand.”


Dedicated to Chad Michael Wilkinson of the US Navy who died on October 29, 2018, in Virginia Beach on active duty after 22 years of service.

2018 Awards

It was really nice to read your nominations and hear what positive things you had to say about each other. I really am blessed to have a gym full of such great people and a community that goes from strength to strength.

Over the past 6 months I have seen so many of you make great progress in your gymnastics, some getting there 1st Pull up, TTB, HSPU, ring or bar muscle up. With an increase in basic strength and understanding, these movement are now being linked together and becoming more consistent.

Weightlifting is always going to be up and down, but yet again you guys are smashing it and growing in confidence to push on with your weights and the wanting to learn technique.

Going into the new year it would be great to hear from you all, with what you've enjoyed this year and what you would like to work on in 2019.

So moving forward to what you've all been waiting for... the awards for this year...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE !!!

Sickness during the Xmas Period - It happens to us all

Great Little Read 
Let's face it.  “It” happens, even to CrossFitters. You come to the gym and go to pick up a weight and it feels abnormally heavy. You brush it off as fatigue from yesterday's WOD and continue to lift. Then, the daily metcon  feels really hard, and your score stinks, and something isn't right. After the WOD you lay on your back and ponder whether you didn't eat right, or perhaps you just aren't hydrated or didn't sleep right last night, anything but a cold. Let me share the harsh reality with you. You can be a great crossfitter, do everything right, and still get sick. It happens, so accept it. Everyone gets sick at some time, the key thing is what you do while sick to minimize your downtime. I've worked with many athletes who believe that taking several days to a week off will make them weak as a kitten. Relax. A week off will not impact your strength and conditioning.
So, what's the right thing to do when sick? What I see a lot a of …

Killing gains and causing a plateau

Great post via Kill Cliff  Sleep, we all know it is important, but the vast majority aren’t getting enough. In fact, some estimates put the number as high as 2 in 3 Americans suffering from sleep deprivation. Recently I posed a question on Twitter asking experts in the field of Strength and Conditioning what the number 1 recovery modality was for student athletes who participated in strenuous training programs. The options were:
Breakfast
Cool Down / Stretching
Sleep
Post Training Nutrition. While all are important, I was blown away by the lack of understanding from those who are deemed “experts” within my field of Strength and Conditioning.
Now, to play devil’s advocate, I probably could have further clarified “important,” so I’ll clarify now by re-posing the question in more than 140 characters. “What recovery modality is most impactful on positively affecting physiological profile, biomechanical function, injury reduction, cognitive performance and physical performance?” With that out …
