Rest Day - 30 August 2009
Rest up, tomorrow's gonna be a big day!
Here are some motivational videos to tide you over in the meantime...I'm not sure what the connection is between O-lifting and Ramstein, but whatever, the videos are still pretty cool. I'm actually shocked by the utter lack of kick ass weightlifting compilations out there. Oh well, enjoy!

Rest Day - 13 August 2009
Starting this week, we are going to be experimenting with a 3 on 1 off / 2 on 1 off cycle, in an attempt to help bump up the recovery a bit and make this type of programming more sustainable for the long term. Feel free to throw in an extra CrossFit Endurance WOD every few days if you don't feel like the 3/1/2/1 is taxing you enough.
I need everyone's feedback regarding how you feel after 2 or 3 weeks to let me know if we should stick with it or switch back to a straight 3/1 cycle. But remember: it's not about how much you CAN do, but how much you NEED to do in order to force an adaptation and move your fitness to the next level. So, please keep the crack addict behavior to a minimum and enjoy those days off!
