A Big Thank You

By: 0

Waiting to give this post the attention it deserves.

I just wanted to send a big Thank You out to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Party, for the wonderful gifts for the gym, and for the hard work some of you put into it.

Thank you for the gifts, but Thank You so much more for everything else you have all done.

I don’t tell all of our members enough how lucky we are to have such amazing people in the gym. This place wouldn’t be the same without all of you, and since day one almost 6 years ago, each and every individual that has moved on from CrossFit South Bend has left their mark, and has made it what it is today.

This place is truly the sum of all past and current members. Everything I have done in this gym has been influenced by all of you, from the way we coach, to the way I think about life, and everything in between. I’m lucky to have had so many good members to influence my personal life and business for the better.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Holiday Party. As well to those that had a hand in our gifts as a gym, and individually for Brandon and I. It’s times like these when I am reminded of the great community that we have here, along with our coaching staff. I remember my 7th grade science teacher telling me find a job that you enjoy, and look forward to going to every day, and you will never work a day in your life. I am lucky to have found that, and all of you play a role in it.

2014 Pancake Wod

A.

10 Minutes mess around session

1. Ninja Get Up into a Squat Position

2. Ninja Get Up into a Squat + Lunge

3. Ninja Get Up into a Squat + Lunge + Step Up

4. Ninja Get Up into a Lunge

B.

20 Minutes to perform

5 Sets Lower Body Primal Complex

4 Dumbbell Squats + 4 Walking Lunges + 4 Box Step Ups + 4 Reverse Lunges + 4 Squats

Notes: The squats will be held in a front rack position, the rest will be done with the dumbbells at their sides in a suit case position. You will have 5 sets to work to your heaviest weight. No wedding steps on the lunges. No dive off the back foot on the step ups, and you will finish with one leg extended and the other in a high knee position. The box height will be set up so they are at parallel. Step Ups will more than likely be the limiting factor for most of you.

C.

2 attempts at a Max Effort 500m Row

Rest as needed in between the efforts
