864 STRONG – Gunny’s Blog / Monday 08.08.2022

864 STRONG – You Matter! The people around you today matter.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
-1 John 3:16

“A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”
-John Burroughs

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures. Smile! You never know who needs to see it.
-Just Smile

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.

Drama does not just walk into your life. Either YOU create it, invite it, or associate with it. Don’t complain about it if you are the one driving the drama bus.

The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off. Be yourself. Be Happy.

You either live a self directed life OR a God directed life. Your choice. There is no in between. There is no almost. Don’t convince yourself otherwise.

If WE don’t support OUR community – what will happen to it?

Nutrition Tip: Results happen in the kitchen! Are you neglecting the importance of what you eat?

Today’s schedule: 5:15a.m./4:15p.m./5:15p.m./6:15p.m.

864 Strength + Conditioning – The 864 GRIND: Show up. Do hard work. Don’t complain.

The strongest (mentally and physically) are the ones that just show up each day prepared to do hard work even if they don’t know what the workout consist of. STRONG or SOFT? Your choice. Hit it hard or move over! Be STRONG!

Before you start today’s training – Goat Work/Skill Work. Mobility/Warm-up/Remember – the Buy-In is not your warm up.
Can’t or Won’t? What’s holding you back?

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
-Sir Winston Churchill

How hard are you willing to work today to reach your goal? Work hard and share a word of encouragement with someone today.

The GRIND never ends! Be STRONG. Be HAPPY.

RX = Form / Full ROM = Legit. Move fast and get reps. Show up and grind!

RX Movement Standards –  There is no almost RX. It’s 100% RX’d or Scaled. Scale based on your strength/motivation level. Movement standards will always be covered before the training starts. If you are not sure about a particular movement/exercise please be patient until we cover it as a group.

“If you need music to motivate you, go find something else to do.”
-Josh Everett (CrossFit Athlete/Coach)

AMRAP – 15
10 UB Sims Press
15 UB Goblet Squats
20 DUs – scale x 3 singles. 60 singles

Only one KB for this workout. Use same weight on press and squats. RX – 1 x 24kg./16kg. Bell

#1 Goal Today: Mind your OWN business. It shows respect and maturity.

RX – Keeping LEGIT movement standards are just as important as your time or the amount of weight used today.

Social Media tip of the day: How far are you willing to go for attention today? Where do you draw the line between private and public?
Social media addiction is real. Are you an addict? Can you unplug? Have the wisdom to show restraint.–Proverbs 23:4

Don’t tell us. Show us. 3,2,1 Action!

You guys are awesome! See you in the gym….

BE STRONG. STAY ALERT. STAY SAFE.
