Keeping track:

Training is going well, you’re hitting new PBs, making improvements in your skill sets, and recovery is improving.  Or at least we hope so!  But do you really know your progress? Here’s a handy bit of kit to be including, aptly named Beyond the whiteboard’ At the very least try and keep a diary of your training to monitor lifts, named workouts, goals achieved etc.  Beyond the whiteboard is specific to CrossFit, and so has appropriate sections for your record keeping.  Also take a look at this link to check out your overall CrossFit ability, and moreover, where you lack and excel relatively speaking to other areas on the same level.

Take this week to set some goals, perhaps your own or from the list of standards, and work towards them after a session, or on Thursday rest days.  Attack your set goal on the last week of September.  Everyone, post an aggressive goal to comments and we’ll review them at the end of the month.

Thursday 26th August 2010

Rest / Skills / Tekkers / Play / Strongman Day

Today also sees the launch of our Kettlebell Class at 7pm, come and learn some new moves!

Please remember that “Bugaboo” goes down this Saturday, bring along a tenner and get a healthy dose of thrusterage!

In the interests of provoking debate i would like to pose a question;

Do you think there needs to be a distinct difference in programming for those who wish to be “CrossFit’ and those that wish to compete in CrossFit competition? If so, why?
