CrossFit Sudbury – 31032016

Hey Friends!

And the squat cycle begins… Good times.  8 reps felt a bit like an eternity, and I think at some point we do 10 and 12 as well.  We’re just going to work on getting the reps in at first, improving the quality of the movement as well as potentially shedding some fat and gaining some lean mass.  Then we’ll start to dig into the smaller reps at heavier weights.  Keep in mind the percentages are wrong suggestions, but adding/removing 5% here and there isn’t the worst thing in the world.  So long as you are challenging yourself, you will improve.  That can mean lightening the load and moving the bar faster on the way up, or challenging yourself with a heavier weight.  Above all else, ensure you’re doing the lifts properly, this is where you won’t get any leeway.

If you winners haven’t picked up your prizes yet, go high five Lisa, tell her the secret password, send out some baby labour vibes for Kristin and collect your envelope.  I thought about picking up some CrossFit stuff as prizes, but you never know what people already have, etc.  Instead, I though since so many people from local businesses support us, I’d spread the love a bit.  The winners for a $25 gift card to both Salute, and Ramakko’s (because who doesn’t love drinking REALLY good coffee while paddling/hunting/fishing/other outdoor awesomeness), and a $50 gift card to the Townehouse (because their food is unreal, and the beer is beer).  Hope you guys enjoy it – Maybe we can organize a night out at the Townhouse sometime soon?

Thanks to Lori and Katie for signing up as Volunteers for the Battle Beyond the Barbell, if anyone else is available and knows now, we could really use the help and the heads up.  The more we can plan ahead of time, the more awesome the day will be.  Let us know and thank you in advance!
