*Gym is closed Saturday. Watch the blog for Sunday class info.*

The 3 aspects most important to your success in here are:
Recovery
Intensity (w/ virtuosity)
Nutrition
So with that in mind I have a question for you all: How much sleep are you getting? Melissa Byers has a great post for Aug. 26, 2009 and here's a post from Robb Wolf on the same idea. Basically you need more sleep, you need a darker room and you can lose weight doing it. The challenge is: 2 weeks, 8+ hours of sleep a night, I'm willing to try. Who's with me? Sleep is one of the most important recovery process you can use, and probably one of the easiest to implement. Really with this what have you got to lose?

  1. Will you keep my kids for 2 weeks so they don't wake me up at night? This challenge would be easy then...

  5. Krissi is just showing us she's getting full range of motion.

    Date with 95 RX= 7 rounds. Have felt off all week with workouts, this one felt good. Did 8 rounds with 75 lbs eight months ago. Power output was probably the same.

    Jonathan,
    I wont be back in till monday. The list is on the office computer or I would do it from home. Maybe Nate or Chace will read this and send it out. Otherwise It'll wait till then.

    65# may or may not have been my previous PR. 70# got about half way up there, and wasn't feeling another shot at it. Happy with the 65 since i havent been doing pull ups much recently. Not so happy with the 12 rep max though, but they were full extension on every rep, and I guess i should just be happy that my shoulder isnt bothering me anymore.

    Congrats to Jeff and Karin for the wins yesterday, and also to Krissy and Curtis.
