“Open Gym Sesh!!!”

Before “Open Gym Sesh!!!”

Snatch… Such An Precise & Elegant Movement… When Executed Correctly… It’s Almost Like Watching Poetry In Motion… Kind Of Like How Kobe Trained/Played…

Box Jumps… Well… Kobe Had Some “Hops”…

Toes To Bar… I’m Sure Kobe “Hung From The Rim” Plenty Of Times…

And The Row… Just Hard Work & Dedication…

From The 5AM Early Bird Session Until The 1830 Last Call Session… Friday Was Intense!!!

A Lot… I’d Say 99% Of You Came In Scared Outta Your Mind… With Good Reason…

Friday By Far… The Most/Heaviest Snatches That I Have Ever Programmed In A Single MetCon… For Me… The ADV Weight Was 80% Of My 1 Rep Max Snatch… And I Had To Do That 40 Times!!! I Took Me Awhile To Warm Up To The ADV Weight… But I Made A Choice Before Performing That WOD… I WAS GOING TO DO IT… PERIOD!!! I Know To Some This Might Come Off Arrogant… But I Didn’t Care About The Box Jumps Or Toes To Bar… To Me… It Was Just Busy Work… And I Knew The Row Had To Be Not A Full On Sprint… But… Pretty Damn Hard & Fast… It Was Basically Going To Be A “Snatch” Session… And It Turned Out To Be A Great One!!! 40/40 Snatches… No Misses!!!

Whether I Coached You Through Making Your Intended Snatch Weight Feel More Comfortable & You Feel More Confident… Or Whether I Talked You Into Going Heavier Than You Planned… You’re Welcome!!! Everyone Performed Amazing!!! Maybe A Few Missed Snatches Here & There… Especially In The Beginning… But I Didn’t Let Anybody Go Down In Weight… A Few Misses Here & There Was/Is Expected… But Once You Knocked Off The Cobb Webs… BOOM!!!

And Even If You Didn’t Finish The Entire WOD… Think About How Much Freakin’ Work You Did!!!

If You Made It To The Rower… You Knocked Out 120 Box Jumps… 100 Toes To Bar… AND… 40 Freakin’ Snatches!!!

If You Finished The 8 Snatches In Round 5… You Knocked Out 40 Freakin’ Snatches!!!

No Matter Where You Finished… That Was Just Good… Hard… Work…

Proud Coach…

Alright…

“Open Gym Sesh!!!”

THIS IS JUST A TRIAL RUN!!!

I REPEAT… THIS IS JUST A TRIAL RUN!!!

Actually… I’m Very Positive This Will Be A Good Thing…

BUT…

What I Can Promise You Is That This WILL NOT Be Set In Stone EVERY Saturday!!!

The 8:45AM Sweat Sesh Will Always Be Open… However… Honestly… If Danielley & I Have Something To Do… Then The Open Gym Sesh Will Not Be Open…

***I Know… Crazy Right?!?! We Have A Life OUTSIDE Of The Station!!!***

But If We Both Have Nothing To Do… Or If She’s Working On A Saturday… I See No Reason Why The Open Gym Session Wouldn’t Be On…

Anyways… “WHAT THE HECK IS AN OPEN GYM SESSION?!?!”

Well… Exactly That…

The Gym Is Yours To Either Work On A Lift(s)… Work On A Movement(s)… Make Up A Lift Or MetCon You Missed During The Week… Make Up Olympic Lifitng… Or Just “FreeStyle” It…

Just Be Smart Of Where You Set Up Shop & Be Aware Of Your Surroundings!!!

This IS NOT “1-On-1” Personal Training… I’m Not Programming A Specific MetCon Just For You… If You Wanted A Specific WOD… Then You Should Have Woke Up Earlier & Come To The Saturday Sweat Sesh… Saw Something Online You Wanna Try?!?! Sweet!!! Let Me Know How It Goes…

Again… This IS NOT “1-On-1” Personal Training…  If There’s 20 Athletes In The Gym… I’m Not Going To Ignore 19 Athletes Just To Work On Your Double Unders… Or Snatch… Or Muscle Ups… Or Etc. Etc.. Etc…

Now… If There’s 1 Or 2 Of You That Show Up… Obviously You’re Going To Receive All The Attention You Want… OR NOT… If You Feel (And I Feel!!!) Like You Know What You’re Doing & You Just Want To Be Left Alone & Do Your Own Thing… SWEET!!! I’ll Be On My Platform By The Windown Lifting…

And You Still Have To Sign Up On ZenPlanner… That Doesn’t Mean You Have To Show Up Exactly @ 10AM… BUT…

Come 11:45AM… You Should Be Close To Wrapping Up Your Session… NOT… Come 11:45AM & You Come Walking In The Door… If So… I’m Going To Assume You Came To Help Me Clean Up The Station For The Next Week… Thanks!!! 😉

Also… If 10AM Comes Around & The Saturday Sweat Sesh Is Still Going On… They Have Privilege On The Equipment… They’ll Be Done Soon…

Come 12:00PM… Doors Are Closed… Hang Around If You Want… But I’m Mopping The Floor & Taking Out The Trash…

Let’s See How It Goes!!!
