Hey Folks!
That was a hell of a weekend! WELL deserved rest for everyone – I hope you guys all got outside to enjoy the weather, spent some time with friends and/or family and relaxed at a lake/patio/beach/back deck.
Note – No Performance Enhancement for the summer – We’re going to be re-tooling it and releasing it in the late summer/fall and it’s going to be epic.
We’ve got an awesome week ahead of us – Re-Test week! We’ve got our powerlifting Total on Tuesday (today), and the Lumberjack 20 coming up this week too! I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone has improved, and where everyone feels they’ve improved most.
Following this week we’re going to have a purely “generalist” week – just some good old fashioned CrossFit, likely with a little less volume to give you guys a chance to recover before we roll into our next program. It’s going to be an awesome summer, that’s for sure!
Also – We’re approaching our favourite event of the year – The Battle Beyond the Barbell! June 6th (Saturday), we have 16 teams of 4 competing throughout the day, we’ll have a BBQ, ridiculously awesome raffle prizes and a bunch of other great stuff for you to check out – all to support the Janis Foligno Foundation. It’s always a fun day and the more the merrier! Come on out and bring you friend and family with you! 🙂
