1/30/14: Day 60

So, yesterday sucked about as bad as I thought it would. I'm sure everyone feels about the same way. Pretty sure I heard one of my athletes say they hated me in the middle of the workout. That's what I'm here for! You guys rocked it as always though. We all know we are gonna see a sick and twisted version of "Fran" in the Open in one way or another, so might as well learn to embrace the suck. Anyway, good work, and here's today's workout!

1/29/14: Day 59

Ok, so before you look at the workout, I just want to let you know that I want you to think of me as your parent...in a non-creepy way. You may not always understand the things I do, but I do it out of love. And sometimes the things I do hurts me more than it hurts you. Except for today's workout, this one will definitely hurt you more. Enjoy! Also, you'll notice there is no more "SMOLOV PROGRAM" section. I just combined them all together because I was posting the same stuff for both programs anyway. Just wanted to save on some paper.

Today is a great example of finding the right weight. You want to push yourself and make the weight challenging, but not to the point of only being able to get one rep at a time. Remember, scaling doesn't mean you're weak, scaling means you're smart enough of an athlete to know your limits and when to push the envelope. You guys know your own bodies better than anyone!

Class Update: No 5:30am class due to bad weather and surrounding area schools closing. Anytime the schools in the area close due to weather, morning class will automatically be canceled.

Back on track! Weekends are always rough to recuperate from, but we're caught up and ready for action. Today's WOD should be a blast. No skill or strength because this WOD will be a little longer. I just have a quick question before you read the workout...anyone wanna do some gambling? ;)
