Whether you competed in the Open or not, you worked through some pretty tough programming and high volume the last 5 weeks...so it's time to REALLY dig in and take care of those hips and shoulders. Be sure you take a moment after each class to go through the movements we have listed on the whiteboard for mobility and stretching. Of course, Epsom salt baths, rejuvenating activities, and a little sunshine does wonders, too!

Guess What?!?! We had a few mis-prints on the last shirt order, so the printer is going to do another small print run for us. We DO have extra shirts in stock, but if you missed out on the last order...or didn't realize you wanted a specific color until your best friend got it...or didn't get the CFH swag you asked for as a Christmas gift...then THIS IS YOUR CHANCE to get the item(s) you want. Sign-up sheets are in the lobby.

True physical health comes from a combination of exercise AND nutrition. KUDOS to each of you who have ever done, or are currently doing, a Paleo challenge to reset your bodies and learn how to properly fuel your systems! You don't have to eat 100% strict Paleo 100% of the time...just avoid processed foods, eat *enough* clean food, and pay attention to your body. It will tell you exactly what you need if you'll just listen...and that's something no one else will ever be able to do for you. We can provide guidance, but you have to experiment and track inputs/outputs to find YOUR correct balance.

Strength: Press

Conditioning:
10:00 AMRAP
10 Burpees
5 Power Cleans (115/75#)
10 One-arm KB Swings (heavy)

You MUST have goals to succeed...bottom line. Whether your goals are habit based (drink 1G of water each day); skill based (practice pull-ups or DUs or HS after every workout); nutrition related (strict Paleo for 30 days); or something else...you have to set long-term goals, then figure out a few short-term steps that will get you there, then think about what you need to do each month to take those steps. Write your short- and long-term goals on the large boards, and jot down that monthly goal on the board by the water fountain. Stick to it and you'll be amazed at your progress!

Strength: Press

Conditioning:
3 rounds
20 Front Rack Lunge Steps (75/55#)
10 Box Jumps (24/20")
20 KB Swings (55/35#)

We've been working with some new ideas for the programming, and we've seen good results so far...so now it's your turn.  There's nothing crazy going on - just a small change to the strength cycle that we think will clear up some questions, help new people acclimate a little faster, and help you self-adjust for those days when you're feeling fantastic and those days when you just don't have that much to give.  The entire point is to have fun and consistently make progress...so grab your journal (seriously, you NEED TO KEEP A JOURNAL) and come in ready to work.

NOTE: if you're doing the Paleo Challenge,
  • You must register TODAY, before midnight.
  • Stand in front of your mirror at home TODAY and take a "before" picture (for your eyes only unless you decide to share it after the challenge).
  • Sign up on the whiteboard to get your measurements taken and log that data into your Lurong account before the deadline.
  • Join our private Facebook group "CFH Lurong Paleo Challenge" so we can use this as a communication tool throughout the challenge.
  • Keep your eyes peeled for the Paleo Challenge workout details as we figure out dates/times so we can have judges available for everyone.

Strength: Press

Conditioning:
4 Rounds
Run 400m
20 Pull-Ups

It's time for a little reminder about the weights and barbells.
1 - DO NOT drop empty bars...ever.
2 - ALWAYS CONTROL your bar drop when you have bumpers.  This means NOT letting the bar go when it's overhead. Bring it back down to your waist before you release your grip. There is NO REASON to throw the bar into the air, or let it go and walk away when it's overhead. Period.

Strength:
Press

Conditioning:
75 Hang Power Cleans (60%)
Immediately complete 5 Burpees every time you set the bar down
