We have some great momentum building right now through the gym and it's something that's not only great to see, but to feel as well. Keep the consistency going and if you've been off track in training for a while, know that you're only one workout away from getting back on track. It's within your power to make it happen!
Be sure to submit your Intramural Open scores to this shared Google document asap. Scores will be cut off on Monday at 5:00pm.

We had a lot more students come out for the Squat Fundamentals Clinic than anticipated. It's great to know that students want to dive deeper into improving technique, performance, and mastery overall! If you attended this one, of even if you missed it and would like to see more clinics like this, please let me know! The plan is to have at least one clinic a month and rotate through the different movement patterns.

If you missed my Thursday video log (with my best attempt at singing!), you can catch it here. I'll be trialing video logs and facebook/instagram live feeds to continue to improve the effectiveness of communicating out tips to help you out in not just your training, but in keeping up to date with all the gym happenings as well.

Our Whole Life Challengers are really taking things to a whole other level this year with not changes in their body weight and body composition, but really changing their whole mindset around food and healthy living. With Susan going HAM on her birthday this weekend, the window has opened up with a shift to the standings. Great job Camille on taking the top spot today. Keep up the great habits challengers!

I came across this post by Precision Nutrition regarding how to specifically eat for injury recovery and think it's very useful not just for injury recovery, but for eating for health and longevity overall. Check it out!

Tracking your results is a great tool to see your progress. You can use a wod tracker app or write your results in a journal. Take Jen’s notes for example. WOW! I have never seen notes so organized and colorful.

Some things I would have done to improve my performance:
- Clean up my nutrition leading up to the workout.
- Increase my cardio earlier in the week
- Taper off on the heavy and/or high volume pieces leading up to the work out
- Plan out which day of the week you're going to do the Open workout
- Write out a strategy for the workout and do my best to stick with it.
- Coach Rod
Recovery days are essential. These can be days that you take it easier than most days that you normally work out. Perhaps go for a hike or a short run. I personally am taking a rest day before I do the workouts on Fridays. Whatever works for you, do it! Make sure that you are as ready as possible for the next workout.

Did you know there is a safari adventure in Santa Rosa? …Archery in Gilroy? …Hot spring baths in Calistoga? …Exotic car driving in Napa? These are some of the few hidden gems that you can venture to do locally.

As we move to more advanced movements, going back and refining the simpler and more fundamental movements will allow us to further expand our capabilities.
