Deads and tabata mash up
Another great week, and this was definitely the week of mental toughness. I’m glad to see more and more of you participating in commenting on the blog, this is a great way to keep in touch and share advice and workout tips to those people who you do not regularly see in the gym. I will try and keep the conversations going as I post, but if you have something you want me to ask, just let me know! As always Fridays call for something fun, and today we get to play with our new toys… SLEDGEHAMMERS! Sledges are a great tool and a great component to a butt-kicking workout.
Question of the day: Do you use CrossFit to prepare for other sports, or has CrossFit become your sport? Post thoughts to comments.
Also, do not forget, the gym is now closed Sundays and this MONDAY due to Labor day, enjoy your holiday weekend!
