I hope all you guys have a wonderful New Years!
Enjoy New years Eve Night, the best thing to do is drink till you pass out this way there’s no way you can drive.
Your welcome for the advice.  I’m here to help.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Make Sure you sit down and work out your Fitness Goals for 2018!
Without goals you’ll be lost in a never ending Pit of Quick Sand Flailing your arms and hands in a semi circle of negative thoughts with only one thing on your mind!

“Why!  Why wouldn’t I listen!  Why wouldn’t I have had the courage to make my goals for 2018 like Chris Said!

Now look at me, look at me sinking into the depths of nothingness!
Jesus!  I shoulda listened

Dn’t be that dude or dudette.

We’ll be open for one class today December 25th, Christmas Day.

The gym will be open for a class at 9:30am

For Christmas Day I will be doing the 8 days of  Chanukah Wod.
As far as lighting candles we won’t be doing that we’ll be doing a barbell complex instead.

I made this up myself, I believe there are 8 days Hanukkah and I also believe that Hanukkah starts with a “CH” but I can’t say I always know what the hell I am talking about.

So here we go!

8   Rounds

8   Deadlift
8   Hang Power Clean
8   Power Clean
8   Jerk
8   Front Squat
8   Hang Muscle Snatch
8   Hang Power Snatch
8   Overhead Squat

The Complex is done with One bar  and One Bar only.   I know, your deadlift is going to be stronger than the rest of the movements.  That doesn’t matter,  just do one bar.  The bar is obviously going to be light, I would imagine your weakest movement will dictate how heavy the bar will be.
So if your Overhead squat is terrible because you choose not to work on your flexibility then that will be your weakest movement.
Use one bar and complete the complex 8 times with perfect form.  Don’t worry about speed, just worry about your form and your technique.

This workout is going to take a while.  Therefore if you are going to show up tomorrow please show up on time.
It’s rather annoying to the other members that are there and ready to go and everyone starts pouring in late.
Normally I put the blame on Lindsay and make her the fall guy but this time she is really the one that is getting agitated.

The classes are 8, 9 and 10 am  Please be sure to show up on time, thank you.

Update on the Lifting we’re performing.
This is the last week of the Three days a week of squatting.  Next up we will find our 1 Rep Maxes for all of our lifts.
We’ll perform Three lifts per week until we are all done.
It is imperative that you get these lifts done.  If you miss one on a Monday try and make it up on Tuesday, if you miss one on Friday try and make it up over the weekend.    Even if you just go in for the lift and not the wod, that’s fine.
Try and get them all done so you know what to do when we do a workout and I write a certain percentage.

Remember how to find your 1 rep max, it’s not what you think you can do.  It’s what you can actually do.
You keep trying to add weight until you come to failure.   Then when you do come to failure you can take the weight you did previously or you can take off a small amount of weight and try again.
Just don’t give up when you still have more left.
