Huge Class

Posted on June 28, 2008 by Jason

Other than the Memorial Day WOD this morning was our biggest class to date.  Nothing makes me happier then showing up on Saturday morning and seeing 30 people getting warmed up for a yet to be stated WOD (well, a few things, but not many).  We had 30 people raring to go today and I’m pretty sure you all got what you came for.

3 rounds of:
800 m run
21 KB Swings
21 Thrusters
21 Pullups

Now, I did this WOD yesterday, and like I said before class it was one of the very rare times that I felt like quitting mid-workout, so I couldn’t wait to see all of you give it a try.  I’m glad some people also listened to me when I said, “Listen to your body”, by the time Saturday rolls around some of you have had a rough week and some of you were there last night, so I was glad to see some scaling of weights, reps, and rounds. 

If you are feeling beat, it could be over-training or poor nutrition.  Either way, please talk to me about it.  Remember you don’t have to not come in to take it easy, you can do a half-intensity week.  You should be doing this minimally every 2-3 months.  You still come in and do the WODs, just have the weight, reps, or rounds.  Your body will thank you and you should see some gains by the time you are done.  Your body gets stronger when you are resting, not when you are in the gym.

Great to have our guest Aaron from Virginia Beach.  He not only did a great job with the WOD, he then rowed 3k, and stayed after and hit my WOD with me…the one you all will be doing on Monday!

From the this could only happen to John Johnson file:  After today’s grueling WOD and hanging out with that glazed over eyes look for about an hour John finally made his way home.  About 15 minutes later I receive a text stating, “I was so dazed when I got home I grabbed what I thought was a jar of almond butter and ate a big spoonful…it was minced garlic!”
