CROSSFIT AFFILIATE GATHERING!!
Thanks to all of the coaches for pitching in so I could be at the CrossFit Affiliate Gathering this weekend in Cincinnati. It was humbling to hear from people are performing at world-class levels and see how much farther I have to go.
…and how much more I could be doing to help all of you. I apologize. I’m going to hold myself to a new Standard and 🤞 hopefully you’ll enjoy being a part of what we’re doing even more. More level-ups, more smiles, more education, more fun, better services, equipment, and training.
It’ll take a while for all of the cylinders to fire in sync, but it’ll come. Thanks for trusting us with your fitness and to make you better, healthier, happier humans. ☺️
IN-HOUSE UPDATES
LEVEL UPS!!
MAN!! IM IMPRESSED!! You guys CRUSHED this month’s categories! More RED performances this week than any YEAR before, so congrats to all of you Double-underin’ freaks!! Huge strides on push-ups and upper-lower endurance as well. If you didn’t hit your goal (I didn’t either, I’m just toooo slowwww), don’t fret. It’ll come eventually. And… we have new categories starting THIS WEEK!!
TRAINING CYCLES
category focuses are: WEIGHTLIFTING + API + ROWING
THE ROWING IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS IN THE EXTRA CREDITS DURING THIS CYCLE!!
IF YOU NEED TO GET BETTER AT ROWING… YOU’RE WELCOME TO FOREGO ANY METCONS TO WORK ON IT.
Take a rower outside and know out that work!
Our program is designed to bring a broad and inclusive general physical preparedness to everyone participating consistently at The Standard. That means we have to work in cycles where we focus on certain implements (KB,DB,barbell,etc), energy systems (heavy breathing vs muscular burn), virtuosity (proficiency of a specific skill), and E discipline (neurological learning typically with weights). If we tried to do them all throughout the year, all the time, we would get less progress across the timeline, so we break it up so we can get a specific adaptation. Just in case you wanted some nerd stuff in your blogs. :)
GOOGLE REVIEWS
OK, we really try to resist asking for you to do things to help us, but I can’t do the lifting on my own on this one… It would be really helpful if you’d take a few moments to leave a 5-star review on google. It helps with our ranking when people search for gyms/crossfit/etc. …and it’s free. :) HELP!
SUB-STANDARD GOLF OUTING is 10/1 @ The Grande in Jackson, MI. I have 3 tee times at 11:52, noon, 12:08. I’m going to rent a 15 passenger van and drive everyone up together. Anyone who wants to play needs to sign up on the whiteboard in the gym or text me. Greens Fees are $59. The Grande is my favorite golf course and a true test, but anyone can come (gym members or not!) and have a good time.
MORE SOCIAL STUFF IS IN THE WORKS… STAY TUNED…
