Congratulations to all of our members who put up some impressive Bench Press and Power Clean PRs last week!! This first wave loading cycle did not disappoint and I hope you all are excited to enter our second wave cycle focusing on Back/Front Squats, Push Jerk and Deadlift next week.
This week, we'll start the week with a 25 minute EMOM of running, single arm kettlebell work and sit-ups. Get amp'd up for Tuesday, because we'll be testing out our 1-rep Overhead or Front Squat! Wednesday will focus on gymnastics pulling skills, and there's a great For Quality piece on Thursday loaded with biking, sit-ups and back rack lunges.
We also have the Benchmark Workout "CHAD" programmed for Veteran's Day this Saturday, November 11th. This workout is dedicated to Chad Wilkinson, a US Navy Seal who took his own life in October, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries and PTSD. Due to the length of this workout, our Saturday classes will run at 8am and 9:30am.
You can register for the workout and contribute to the CHAD 1000X fundraiser supporting Veteran Mental Health HERE. All proceeds of the CHAD 1000X fundraiser will go to support Veteran Mental Health Initiatives through The Step Up Foundation which, in conjunction with Sara Wilkinson, will provide financial support to other nonprofits dedicated to Veteran Mental Health initiatives.
