Merry Christmas Training

Merry Christmas to all of you. I am so grateful to have all of you involved in my life. You may not know it but I wouldn't be in the position today without the lot of you. I've been blessed this year not only with good looks, an awesome beard, and incredible gains, but most importantly the community that I am apart of. I do focus alot on my own training, but I get more satisfaction from the progress of you all. When you get PR's or you kill a workout I feel like a parent watching their kid score their first goal! I may have had a tear in my eyes a few times, but you'll never see that!

Anyways, back to training...

Today was CRAZY!!!

Back squats: Max effort @ 315 (11 reps)


Power clean + Power jerk: 75%, 80%, 80%+x3 (195, 215, 215, 215, 225 but failed the jerk)

Power snatch + Snatch: Same percentages (165, 180, 180, 180, 190 Failed)

The gym did this crazy workout called "12 days of Christmas". GTS (Google that S#@T!) or check out www.crossfitbarracks.com. After watching 5 different classes suffer through this workout, I'm not going to lie, no part of me wanted to do this.... sooo... I didn't. Truthfully, I ran out of time. But, I sincerely applaud all of you who suffered through that crazy WOD!

The new year is coming up so I want you all to make sure you are setting those NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!! We are going to work hard to knock those out so you better get ready!

Enjoy your family and friends and be nice to others! We'll check back in after Christmas, so be Merry and Smile! I love you all!
