Daily WOD

Everyone couldn’t believe the transformation that took place with Joe’s picture yesterday.
Yes, it’s true.  That’s no lie.
And his words when it was over where, “it’s easy when you make a decision to do it.  When you prepare your meals and come to the realization that there is no cheating anymore so there is no questioning yourself when you sit down to eat a meal it’s easy after that.  But most people don’t get to that point where they tell themselves I only eat well from now on.  There is no cheating at all.  This is my life.”

Joe is right, everyone that I tell how to eat always says either “I can’t eat just that or what about a cheat meal, or can I have oatmeal and pasta.”
It’s always something.
That’s the thing until you get to the point where there isn’t always something it will never happen.
You will never look the way you want to look until the excuses stop.
That’s it, it’s not the workout, it’s not the diet.  I’ve said this over and over again, It’s YOU.
If you are not successful in any aspect of your life it’s YOUR fault.
Kinda like me, My grammar sucks because of me and me only.

So check this out, This dude listened to exactly what I said to do (very rare) but happens once in a while.  I should say Harry did also listen and you also saw what happened to him.
I tell everyone if you want to lose some fat you need to eat all day long.  I usually hear “I can’t I’m not hungry, in which I respond I know but you have to force yourself to eat and after two weeks you will be starving every two hours.
Look at this change Joe made in his body

Is that fucking crazy!
He lost a baby in his belly!
This is what happens when you eat like that.

****If you can do a squat snatch do it, if you can’t because your flexibility is horrific and you do no mobility work to help the situation, then switch to a Squat Clean.  If you decide to go along the clean route Perform the Cleans with 135/95.

It’s week 4 of the Back Squats, by now you should be killing yourself to get all the reps.
Just remember, YOU NEED TO STAY TIGHT BEFORE EACH REP!  DON’T LIFT THE BAR UNTIL YOU TIGHTEN UP.
THE TIGHTER YOU ARE THE EASIER THE WEIGHT WILL FEEL.
NOT TO MENTION IF YOU STAY TIGHT YOU WON’T GET HURT.  YOU NEED TO STAY TIGHT SO YOUR MUSCULAR SYTEM TAKES CARE OF SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT INSTEAD OF YOUR SPINE.
YOU HAVE TO STAY TIGHT, THERE SHOULD BE A BRIEF PAUSE BETWEEN EACH REP SO YOU CAN BLOW THE AIR OUT AND TAKE A BREATH IN AND TIGHTEN UP!

Skill:

Back Squat
6 x 4 @80%
2 Min Intervals

There seems to be a small yet rather imperative situation in the rest rooms.
Apparently there is someone who does not clean  his/her butt juice off the toilet seat once they are done relieving their colons from high pressure.
Please, if you have any respect for humanity and yourself clean off the seat of the bowl when you are finished.
It’s nasty when someone goes into the Bathroom to enjoy the fine amenities we have to offer and then has to deal with that offensive site.
Again, I urge you to clean up after yourself.
The Bathrooms are shared amongst us as a civilized community, let’s try and do our best to keep them clean.

Think about it, first there’s shit on the bowl next there will be shit on the floor and before you know it we’ll be slinging shit around at each other as a workout!
We can’t have that.
Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this.

Crossfit and Weightlifting in general has this common misconception that it is dangerous and if you do it you will get hurt.
This is ridiculous and couldn’t be further from the truth, as a matter of fact over 12 years being involved in Crossfit I have heard so many stories of how this person was in pain before doing Crossfit, ever since they have been doing it they feel so much better with no pain like in the past.
Here’s an article explaining this:

Let me explain how this lifting thing works.
In order for your body to HAVE to change it needs to feel the stress of doing something or not being able to do something
like lifting something heavier than it is used to.
If you keep doing the same weight every time you lift nothing will change.
So, when we are doing cleans and you stick with 45 lbs regardless of the amount of reps of sets we are doing, this will do absolutely nothing.
You women in the gym are women, you’re not old frail and weak pieces of cow dung.  You’re strong fit athletes that train hard so you need to act like it.
I think sometime just because you are females you think you should not be lifting heavier than you can or pushing yourself to go heavier and heavier.
When I see a dude clean and struggles to catch the weight and stand up I should see the same thing with females.
I don’t want to see anymore you guys not trying to lift heavier weights.

If you are going to spend the time doing what we are doing you might as well try and do it to the best of your ability, and you guys have way more ability than you give yourselves credit for.
If I feel like you are not performing the movement well I won’t let you do heavy weight.
If I am telling you to go heavier I know that you can do it, so trust me and trust yourselves.
Start struggling to get more weight and you’ll start to see more results.
