CFSB Wades Day At Chipotle!!!!

By: 0

The Chipotle on Main Street in Mishawaka has graciously agreed to hold a fundraiser for Wade's Army on Tuesday, December 6th from 4-8pm. During that 4 hour window, 50% of proceeds will be donated to Wade's! You must either present the voucher or tell the cashier you're there for the fundraiser in order for Wade's Army to get credit.  We are so close to $6,000 raised for Wade's. We need your help making this event a success and raising money for Wade's Army and the fight against Neuroblastoma. PLEASE INVITE YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS/NEIGHBORS/COWORKERS/ETC! The more people know about this, the more money we'll raise! If you'd like to make a donation directly to Wade's Army, you can do so here: classy.org/carlandem. Please let Carl or Em know if you have any questions by clicking here and emailing them! Thanks for supporting Wade's Army! ABOUT WADE'S ARMY: Wade's Army's objective is to bring the fight directly to Neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of pediatric cancer developing in the nerve tissues and remember Wade DeBruin and his battle. We lost him at the age of two and our goal is to fund research and bring support to the brave child and families affected by this fatal pediatric cancer. Throughout 2016, Wade's Army will be campaigning through several different channels and promotions in an effort to spread Neuroblastoma awareness to a large audience. Saturday, November 12th, 2016 all of Wade's Army's efforts will lead up to Wade's Day. This will include a workout dedicated to Wade DeBruin and his fight against Neuroblastoma hosted by Power Athlete. Spread the word about brave Wade, enlist in Wade's Army and our fundraising efforts! Donations go along way, but helping spread the awareness of Neuroblastoma and recruiting more to the cause will help us reach our goal!

Meaning...no one goes, I want 5 minutes of rest between everyones rounds. So lets say we have a team of 3... Round 1: Person 1 Round 2: Person 2 Round 3: Person 3 Rounds 4,5,6...just...stare at each other and wait to crush the next round. You should go hard enough in the 60s so that you feel as though you need the 5 to repeat the same effort, and I would prefer you are consistent from round to round. If you are not technically sound with the hang power clean, do 10 Kettlebell Swings instead, I am looking for high cycle time here. Looking for energy system training here, not fumbling with technique.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 11.22.16" open="false"]Tuesday 11.22.16 A.

If you have a hard time cycling burpees, perform no push up burpees. you'll rest three, then for 3 minutes do some casual turkish get ups at a light weight, resting 15s between arms. rest three after that,then repeat the whole.thing.3.rounds...

Ring Rows are okay too if you don't have pull ups. Hit the three minute amrap smooth. Oh, and the timer will just reset after a 10 minute mark, be an adult and watch the clock for your start and end times. Empower yourself. You can do this.
