BRING - A - FRIEND WEEK WAS AWESOME!
We had nearly 20 complete strangers join in the fitness fun over the week. I can’t express how much I appreciate you bringing your friends and trusting that we’ll do a good job with them. 😊 If any of those who attended wish to come back a few more times, they are more than welcome to stop in anytime.
IN-HOUSE UPDATES
MURPH
every memorial day, the CrossFit community pays tribute to our fallen heroes by doing a workout named after one. it’s very scalable, like we always do, but it’s also a huge workout. We’ll be putting some murph prep in the extra credit and since we are upper body pulling and pushing focused over the next few weeks (assessment cycles!), you should be prepared for this.
June 9th — Spartan Race in Cincinnati
THERE ARE A COUPLE SPACES LEFT AT OUR AIR BNB IF YOU WANT TO STAY SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE RACE SUNDAY. IF YOU’RE SIGNED UP, THE ONLY THING I RECOMMEND IS GETTING YOUR RUNNING IN AND FOCUSING ON YOUR GRIP. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE OBSTACLES ARE GRIP RELATED, SO LETS SEE THOSE HEAVY KB HOLDS AND DEADHANGS HAPPEN! :)
TRAINING CYCLES FOR MAY20-JUN 15
category focuses are:
UPPER BODY PUSHING - N&C ENDURANCE
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!
