Front Squat 3.2.3.2 @ 30X1 ***score is weights B. For Time - 15 minute cap 75 Double Under Buy In 5 Rounds 15 Pull Ups 30 Sit Ups 75 Double Under Cash Out ***score is total reps or time [notes] Front Squats: I'd like these all heavy, but try to get the second set of 3.2. to be slightly heavier than the first set. Wod: Hit the full 75 dbl buy in, then get in to all 5 rounds, sit ups are standard style - our coaches know what we like. Pull Ups can be kipping, strict, ring row - a mixture. I'd prefer that you scale so that you have a good shot of getting close to finishing, I definitely do not expect everyone to finish this one. Once done with all 5 rounds, you'll have a 75 Double Under cash out. You can scale a 1:1 for doubles to singles to keep the time appropriate. Scaling to finish or get close on this one - if I were to give you 2 seconds per double, which is lenient that makes 2:30 as the end caps, and 10 minutes for the brick in the middle. So try to keep it speedy on the doubles, 10 minutes in the middle for the workout gives you a little over 2 seconds per rep, so this one should be challenging for a lot of you to try to finish because you have to be able to cycle some of these well and keep the transitions smooth to keep that pace up. You get punishing on this one for the middle for not being that good at doubles.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 9.20.16" open="false"]Tuesday 9.20.16 A. Bench 3.2.3.2 @ 30X1 B. 3 Rounds 8 Heavy RDL's @ 30X1 8 Heavy Weighted Bench Dips @ 3010 C. For time 21 Calorie Row 18 Ball Slams 15 Burpees 12 Ball Slams 9 Burpees 6 Ball Slams 3 Burpees [notes] Bench is self explanatory, work on being fast off the chest. For the 3 rounder in the middle, keep everything heavy but keep to the rep/tempo scheme. you should have a damn good idea of what to hit because we have repeated this one many times at an 8-12 range. We will allot 15 minutes or so to this one, if you don't finish it, meh, don't worry. Try to load up this time on the bench dips to get a heavy 8 and have someone to help you put the plates on and off. Wod: Chipper, Fast, Painful, If you can't cycle the burpees do them without a push up, if you can't slam the ball fast lower the weight. I want the burpees with a touch behind your head at the top and the ball slams with a catch.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 9.21.16" open="false"]Wednesday 9.21.16 A. 60s Amrap 5 Russian Kettlebell Swings 30 Yard Sprint 5 Russian Kettlebell Swings 30 Yard Sprint rest/walk 5:00 between rounds [notes] check out this shitty drawing with rainbow pencil here  - I'd like this set up with 2 kettle bells, one across from the other, 5 swings, sprint, 5 swings, sprint back. Go nuts on this one. With 5 rest we should have plenty of space to run waves of people through during the rest.If it has to be done inside, we will hit it on the turf.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 9.22.16" open="false"]Thursday 9.22.16 A.

I'd prefer whatever you use for the FRRL, you use for the row - this workout isn't for time, we just want you to have some hard efforts here and to grind through. Pick a weight that you can hit all 20 unbroken in the first round of the FRRL - that should give you a row weight that is light enough to where you can hit a pretty large brick as well.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Saturday 9.24.16" open="false"]Saturday 9.24.16 A. 4 Rounds 30 Second Row for Calories 30 Seconds Rest 30 Seconds Push Press 30 Seconds Rest rest 5 minutes between efforts B. 4 Rounds 30 second Double Unders 30 Seconds rest 30 Seconds American Kettlebell Swings 30 Seconds rest [notes] Choose a weight you can at least start with 10 reps on the KBS and PP.

What is leaky gut?

By: 0

What is leaky gut?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday Have you ever heard people use the term "leaky gut"? Were you confused about they were talking about? You're not alone. This video is meant to clear up that confusion and explain what leaky gut is. Leaky gut (or what's more properly known as intestinal permeability) is a subclinical condition in which the following two things happen: 1. Things that shouldn't be getting into your blood stream (fungi, bacteria, viruses, undigested food particles) are "leaking" into the bloodstream due to a compromised intestinal barrier. 2. You're not absorbing nutrients the way you should be because the lining of your small intestine is damaged. Put simply: With leaky gut too much bad stuff is getting into your bloodstream that shouldn't be there, and not enough good stuff (i.e., nutrients) is getting absorbed by your body. Leaky gut has been implicated in all sorts of chronic health conditions. Getting to the root cause of many of these chronic health conditions often involves the need to heal leaky gut.
