Good nutrition is key. Preparing great tasting and healthy meals takes planning and time. Sometimes we just need something quick and handy, but usually that means unhealthy. Well, no longer. Origin Meals is a convenient and cost-effective way to get fresh healthy meals.

WOD Summary
Please look at Wodify for the specific daily WOD announcements. They are available a week in advance. We’ll post the next day’s WOD here the day before.
We finish our current strength cycle on Monday with back squats, then you’ll see a mix of Olympic lifts (or components thereof) and DB lifts for the next couple of weeks until we resume a new strength cycle. Now that we have nicer weather, we are focusing this week on running – lot’s of running! Mixed into the running you will see quite a bit of gymnastics movements and heavier than usual lifts in the WODs. One of the things that makes CrossFit so effective is doing weight at speed, but form and range of motion are the priority. Do NOT go heavy on these WODs unless you’ve been training consistently with good mechanics and mobility. Leave your EGO at the door. You do not have to go Rx, and much less Rx+, every time. You are not less of an athlete if you scale, modify or adapt – that is call training smart! Bob modifies his WODs here and there for optimal workouts. Be like Bob!
It is our hope you enjoy this week’s programming of functional movements that are constantly varied and meant to be done at high intensity. Keep in mind that quality of movement and range of motion come before going heavier and faster. Train smart!
