Just because someone carries it well, doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.
Isn’t that the truth. This month is mental health awareness month and for me I gather a lot of strength from lifting heavy and doing hard workouts with you all. In those workouts sometimes we crush it for where we are and sometimes we struggle. Some of us may be struggling with what happened at work or things outside of us and the workout is the place for us to work it out. We don’t always see it because some of us may carry it “well.”
I don’t know if how many Ted Lasso fans are out there but two weeks ago there was a really amazing episode where Roy Kent is asked by a bunch of media about the behavior of a certain player and what was wrong with them.
The story he tells and how he responded is what struck me most. His comment and boundary he gave was it wasn’t any of his (insert expletive) business. We get to be a kind word and the support. We don’t know what everyone carries but we can try to be encouraging of their efforts to have DCF be a place to get fit and strive to live happy.
This week we have two Heavy Days programmed on Tuesday and Thursday. We are at the end of our cycle and we want to make sure you bring all your effort into the fun lifts of Snatch Balance with Snatch and Split Jerk into Clean. Dress up in your favorite lifting shirt grab your chalk and be loud cheering on each other as we exercise the technique we have been practicing. You won’t want to miss Tuesday and Thursday!
Wednesday we will be spending time on a fun ascending complexity workout with Rowing and Burpees then working on Rope Climbs.
Friday we have a buy in workout that will test your ability to get 100 Wall Balls as fast as you can.
Saturday’s Partner workout has a lot of opportunity to hold you both together in a handstand and Front Rack Hold with just a smidge of biking.
Looking forward to starting the week with one more Murph prep before the fun on Monday May 29. Remember to sign up on wodify for your class and come to the pool hangouts in the afternoon! Definitely want to plan to hydrate and include that LMNT as a beverage to go with the Waffle Bar. Please sign up to bring a topping or beverage to share.
We are pleased to be bringing in HYBRIDAF to the gym and thank you to all who have signed up for the beta program. We are looking forward to everything working easily for all of you. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
