864 Strength + Conditioning – NO EXCUSES!

The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
-Deuteronomy 6:4-5

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities.
-Ezra Taft Benson

Conditioning – Today’s CF864 Training 3 RFT:

15 Body weight Bench Press / Floor Press – RX = Must be able to rack / unrack bar without assistance.
21 Strict / Dead hang Pull-ups
12 KB Snatch 6L / 6R – RX Load = 24kg./16kg.
150 Fast Single unders

RX – Bench / Floor Press – don’t load a weight that you can’t handle. Full ROM – touch chest to full lock out at top. No bouncing / no sloppy reps.

Abdominal Strength NFT – Accumulate 120 seconds of plank hold / 60 seconds of L Hold on Pull-up Bar – Mix it up however you choose.

RX is more than just the amount of weight used. Don’t let your pride/ego get ahead of your strength/fitness level. Quality over quantity.

RX = Load + Form. 

HELP fill up the “Bean Box” Food Drive – The can food drive is going on now. Please bring cans of pinto beans through January 27. From January 28 through February 3 we will collect dry black eyed peas. Please help support the Open Door Soup Kitchen in Clinton. If you are in a position to support the ministry please bring your donations to the gym where we have a box to collect the beans. The soup kitchen provides meals to many that would not have food otherwise. We are blessed and sometimes it’s easy to take for granted having enough food to eat. Let’s not forget that there are families all around us that are hungry. If we don’t support our community…who will? Thanks to those of you that have been helping fill the “bean box” up.

Stay the Course. Train HARD. Train HEAVY. Train SMART. #dedicated
