I'm back to blogging, got a push from a well respected mentor who also made my awesome new banner. Thanks Big G. I will not catch up with all the WOD's we've done since January however I will update you on the new happenings with me and our Crossfit Lethbridge gym.
Our gym has gone to a strength bias program which consists of:
Week1
Monday,Wednesday, Friday
5RM of a particular lift plus a metcon to follow
Week 2
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
3RM Same lifts as previous week plus metcon
Week 3
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
1RM Same lifts as previous week plus metcon
Reset with a new 3 Week cycle. I'm so excited about this I can hardly contain myself. This is coming from a guy who 2 years ago wasn't interested in the strength training............WHAT was I thinking??
Of course Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday are regular WOD days. They have also set up Yoga on Sunday which is awesome especially for the less flexible.
One of the owner/coaches has just organized an endurance team which will be learning the "pose" method of running, myself included. David, talked me into it promising me breakneck speed if I stuck with his training.
I'm really responding to the layout of the programming, i'm setting new PR's quite frequently as well as alot of people in the gym. It's very exciting to see the progressions myself and other people are making.
Our coaches have received lots of great training, we have a very well rounded coaching staff check out the link for their accolades, it is very impressive, and always expanding.
Our website has a great new look, our gym has been getting new equipment, we are seeing new faces all the time, things are fantastic at CFLA.
More exciting news, three of our athletes went to the sectional qualifiers for the games and tore it up, one of them going through to the nationals.
This is Heather, she is one of the owner/coaches at CFLA. She finished 2nd overall in the Central Canadian Sectionals, winning the final WOD I might add. Congratulations Heather.
We had one more athlete, Big G Pictured below (Cory/Heathers Husband) who couldn't take part because he required knee surgery which he has received and is limping around the gym but still coaching. He is ultra-competitive and knows how to get the best out of people.
So with a final note I will be taking my Crossfit Level 1 Certification in August. The coaches are saying it is a pretty general overview but I'm all about new experiences. If things go right I would also like to participate in the Sectionals next year for the experience. I have alot of work to do in the strength areas but "Rome wasn't built in a day".
until next time.......Sean'O out.
