Who's going to the georgia fitness challenge? Saturday August 1, all day. The Gym will be closed that day so if you want to work out then you will have to come see us.

I want to cover a few aspects of programming here. Crossfit works on a cycle of 3 on/1 off. This last cycle examplifies the constantly varied aspect of what we do in here. We had Filthy Fifty, 5k run and 7x1 deadlifts and then a rest day. We hit metabolic endurance, anaerobic exertion and aerobic exertion. Every pathway was covered from Phosphagenic to Oxidative.

However due to time constraints of life not many of us can train on the 3 on/1 off that crossfit programs. I try and do a 5 on/2 off program. Nate and Chace have all adapted the programming to fit they're own adaptation and time constraints. This means that given a various week we can pick and choose. I know today I'll probably hit the deadlifts instead of doing the 5k row. Ideally I'd do something aerobic for friday, but we'll see. My point in all this self-discussion is that we want to get a mix of everything. If you tend to miss the heavy lifting that is a weakness in your programming, if you tend to skip the long distance that is also a weakness. And you are the weaker and slower for having missed either one.You need to be addressing this in your general fitness. To ignore any of the domains is a weakness that does nothing to increase your work capacity or overall health. So I'm going to challenge you to do something might not like to do, like run or lift heavy.
