Extra Work To Put In

This past Sunday Suckday.

The programming at the gym is meant to be complete. Every day of every week is designed around the days around it. It is my duty to deliver you the most well rounded workouts possible. That being said, it is almost impossible to make it to the box everyday. We don’t have enough time and our bodies might not hold up without enough rest days. That is why Sunday Suckday was created. Every Sunday from 12-2pm, you get the chance to come in and make up for lost days. You can do whatever you want. You can work on basic skills, make up missed WODs, do strength work, work on your mobility and flexibility, or just come and hang out and ask questions. You can also look up at the record board and try one of the WODs or lifts on there. There will be a list of skills up soon that will make it easier for those that just have no clue what to work on. Think of this as a sort of free day. Not many other gyms are available 7 days a week so take advantage of it!

For the first hour of every Sunday Suckday (12-1ish), I will be going over the olympic lifts. There will be a work load (no WOD) on the board to follow for those looking to become more proficient in the snatch and clean & jerk. The key to these lifts is repetition so come in this Sunday and let’s get to work!
