Alrighty.  Before I forget, make sure you come to the workout this Saturday.  Lots of games, treats, and a good opportunity to hang out and get to know each other.  Expect to have fun.  Bring a friend or family.

Ok.  So now that I've got you going to the Halloween WOD, listen to this:

I know you want to do the workouts as RX'd, but that is just not going to happen unless you start building strength.  Its going to take YOU showing up to the heavy days and doing the workouts right. 

Here's what I mean, take a look at this whiteboard: This is from a previous heavy day.

If you want to get stronger - you are going to have to lift heavy throughout the entire workout.  I circled in red the lifts that are not going to build strength.  These should be part of your warmup and not your work sets.  Strength cannot be attained by lifting sub-maximal loads.

Lets take today for an example.  Your FIRST set of 3 deadlifts should be at least 90% of your max.  You should be working towards a new max and each set of three should be extremely taxing.

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
