Get Your Butt In Here Tonight!

   I have two great reasons why you should attend kettlebell class tonight!

First reason: kettlebell class is canceled this Thursday!

Second reason: kettlebell class is canceled this Friday!

   That means you only have today and Saturday morning to get the rest of your weekly training in.  Whitney will be away Thurs and Fri, and Yvette and I will be unable to cover those two days. 

So, shift around your plans and get in here tonight and Saturday morning.  No excuses:)

POWER OUTAGE: Today's Kettlebell Class Is Canceled

Yvette just called and informed me that we have no power at the office.  It is too dark to train inside without the lights, and too hot/humid to train outside.  Sorry for the inconvenience, but class needs to be canceled.
Thanks,

Jason

WOD -Max Effort 2

Saturday, 7/13/13

Work up to a max weight for each movement, using the given repetition maximum assigned.  Do so over the course of 3-5 sets for each exercise.  Once you have used the most amount of weight possible for the prescribed repetitions, you are done that exercise.  Therefore, continue on to the next movement and repeat the process of progressive resistance, ending in a max effort attempt for each one.  The max weight used in each one is what gets logged in the "comments" section below.  FYI, the weight logged needs to be the same for your right and left arm!

1) Turkish Getup - 1RM (1 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 1 repetition)
2) Front Squat - 5RM ( 5 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 5 repetition)
3) Overhead Press - 5RM ( 5 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 5 repetition)

Compare to: 3/29/13

Friday, July 12th, Kettlebell Class is Canceled

    Regretfully, we must cancel kettlebell class this Friday on July 12th.  Whitney will be out of town, and Yvette and I will be smack in the middle of a crossfit competition kicking the other teams' arse. 
 
   To compensate, please arrange your schedules to attend tonight, tomorrow night (Thurs), and Saturday morning.  In order to be fit and strong, we all must stay focused and consistent in our efforts! Continue being the minority, taking control of your fitness, and by extension, your life....
