[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Hey Folks!

Great weekend!  The choose your destiny WOD was a hit and people are looking GOOD in the bottom of those overhead squats.  Keep it up Folks!

So you’ll notice I haven’t been posting “Performance” for a while now.  We’ve decided to get away from it, as it isn’t all that different than our normal programming, and this way we can concentrate on our own programming, and providing the best stimulus you guys can find.  You’ll also notice the addition of the “Performance Bonus” – this is for those people who feel like they’d like to do a bit more in the gym and want to put their best performances forward!  ANYONE can do the performance bonus, so it doesn’t matter if you’re following health or longevity, have at it and have a blast with it!

I know I’ve harped on it a lot lately, but researching what the actual games athletes do in training versus reading programs for those people trying to compete in the games I often see a disconnect that isn’t written about.  I’ve said it before, it isn’t WHAT you do as much as it is HOW you do it.  Matt Chan works out once a day.  Rich Froning works out multiple times per day.  But BOTH give their all in their training and challenge themselves to improve SOMEWHERE on the 10 characteristics of fitness.  Becoming more skilled is JUST as important as getting strong or fast.  Don’t let the shiny promises deceive you – hard work at intelligent programming (like we do) wins every time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq-lanMTIoQ”][vc_accordion][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
