FEELING CROWDED??

We know that the classes have started to become crowded espaecially during the hours of 5pm and 6pm.  We appreciate everyones patience as we work on fixing the problem.  As you all know we are working on a new facility so we hope to be in the new place very soon which will alleviate any overcrowding.

We hope everyone can work together to make each workout a little less crowded by taking a few steps.  First off we have doubled our staff in the evenings and have also reviewed our programming to ensure that our workouts are able to meet each persons demands while not waiting for equipment.  There are also a few things we ask of the members:

1.  Please be on time for class. The class schedule will be strictly enforced over the next month so that the trainers may properly schedule each workout.

2.  Please respect those people already in class. If you show up early or stay late to warm-up or strectch please remember that others are working out and need the floor space.

3.  Come prepared for your workout. Specifically the Wendler program.  We have posted a Wendler spreadsheet on the website which allows you to punch in your training load and know the weights you are required to lift for the whole 4-week cycle.  Please take a minute to do this and bring your sheet in each month.  You should already know what weights you should be lifting.  The Wendler program is not designed to be a 20 min workout in itself.  You should only be resting for a min to a min and a half between sets.  All together you should complete this portion of the WOD in under 10 min.

4.  Finally know your limits. Do not choose a skill level outside your ability causing the workout to take longer than is prescribed.  If you are unsure of what weight you should use or how long a workout should take please speak to a trainer.

Again we thank everyone for their patience as we transition to our new facility.  We hope that your short time of overcrowding will pay off once you see the new place.  If you have any concerns please speak to a trainer or email Tim Segur.

BARBELLS FOR BOOBS UPDATE

There is a sign up sheet in the gym for everyone to sign up their team.  We are allowing you to compete in different levels for each workout.  So if you CAN’T do Grace As Rx’d but CAN complete the second WOD as Rx’d then you can signup under different levels.  When you register please put your team name and what level you wish to compete in for each WOD.  Both team members DO NOT have to be from CFCM so if you know someone who would also like to compete in this fundraising event you may register them as well.  As always we reserve the right to change the level you are competing in.  So NO Sandbagging!!!

Congratulations.  Everyone has completed the first four week cycle of the Wendler 5-3-1 program.  So what is the next step?  Now you need to add weight to your “Training Load.”  You will add 5 pounds to your upper body lifts (Shoulder and Bench Press) and 10 pounds to your lower body lifts (Deadlift and Squat).  Remember your training load is 10% of your 1RM.  You do not need to go for a 1RM again.  Just move forward from where you are now.
