After a hard Total today, take the rest of the week off, or just do some active recovery. Go for a run, go climbing, do some rowing, whatever! Get ready for the next cycle, starting Monday!!!!!

Fun day in the Compound today!!!

Started off with some power snatches and sprints with the crew! Henrich stopped by later and had some fun with some presses, push-presses! He then took on "Tabata This." This is a classic CrossFit WOD, and it is brutal! The minute rest between exercises is definitely NOT enough!!!

Here is a video of Sage Burgener demonstrating the power snatch:

I guess it's been a little while since I posted here, whoops! I've been so busy making posts on Facebook, that I kind of completely forgot about the blog.

Today's lesson: STRENGTH

Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.

To see strength in action, check out this video of David Morgan doing "King Kong." Keep in mind this guy is 44 years old and only 186 pounds. Think about that for a second. I know for me personally, this makes me want to get a lot stronger!
