Supplement Spotlight
If you aren’t already taking a fish oil supplement you need to get on that as soon as possible! The acronym SAD not only is an abbreviation for the Standard American Diet, but explains what it really is… SAD!! The American diet includes an abundance of omega-6 fats. Over consumption of these types of fats lead to poor recovery and inflammation.
We can not stress enough how important it is to start Omega-3 supplementation! Do it for your heart health and also for recovery after that next tough WOD!
Weekly WODs:
Monday
Crossfit – Tempo Back Squats + Seven Minutes In Heaven
We’ll be fixing our back squat technique and building great positions at the beginning of class. Our conditioning for today is an ascending ladder of up downs over the bar, front squats, and kettlebell swings. If you thought things were tough in round 1 just wait until round 3 of our AMRAPs.
Burn – Benchmark WOD “Mike Tyson”
3 Rounds For Time
15 Burpees

Tuesday
Crossfit – Tempo Bench Day + Bar Brawl
We open the day up by bringing out the benches. Our focus will be to own tension in elbow position across each set of our tempo bench press. Today’s conditioning is fight gone bad style where athletes will complete four movements for max reps in one minute. The idea here is to be consistent across rounds and not get in over your head during round one of three.
