“Stress Week Done…”

“Stress Week”???

Everytime We Have A “Re-Test Week”… I Sleep Fewer Hours Than I Normally Do… And I Don’t Sleep Much As It Is…

Many Sleepless Nights Are Spent Programming The Daily Strength/MetCon WODs…

Not To Mention That I Am Constantly Worried About Somebody Coming In & Trying To Shut Us Down…

The Daily Work Out Is Not Programmed The Night Prior… But Months Prior…

And For Me… It’s A Long… Tense… Stressful Time To See If “It Worked”…

My Approach To Coaching RainCross Athletes… I Do Care What You Think About Me… About My Approach To Your Training Regimen…

It’s Hard For Me To Watch Those Who Have Trained So Hard… And Not Improve… Or… To Not What You Think “Improve” Means..

Nerves??? Bad Day At Work??? Bad Day At School??? Just… A Bad Day???

I See It… You Leave/Walk Out Dissapointed… You’re Face/Attitude Says It All…

I Get It…

On The Flip Side…

When You Finally Get That “PR”…

Smiling From Ear To Ear… Happy Dance… Ringing That PR Bell!!!

And That High Five… Fist Bump… Or Big Ol’ Hug… Or Even Just A Simple “Nod”…

Almost The Best Feeling Ever For Me…

“Almost”???

Yes… Almost…

The Best Feeling I Get Out Of All These Weeks Of Training Is To Just See You Improve “At Something”…

Didn’t Get A “PR”?!?!

Ok… But Maybe You Can Get Those Elbows Up Higher On Your Front Squat… Maybe You Didn’t Dip On Your Toes On Your Push Press… Maybe You Kept That Back Tight/Straight On Your DeadLift… Maybe You Whipped Those Elbows Down & Around Fast On Your Clean… Maybe You Actually Punched On Your Snatch… Maybe You Went As Hard As You Could On That Particular Day On A 1 Mile Run…

Or Maybe Just The Fact That You Came In… Day After Day… Week After Week…

Those Are Some Of The Best Moments That Keep Me Doing What I’m Doing…

Let Me Re-Phrase That…

That Keep Me Loving What I Do!!!

RainCross Strong…

That Being Said…

I Hope You Trust Me On This Next Upcoming Strength Cycle…

Normally… After A “Re-Test” Week… We’d Have Another “Strength Rest Week”… AKA… “Hell Week”…

I Think I Snuck That In Already… And… With This Whole Covid Pandemic… We’re Behind Schedule…

So Next Week Immediately Begins The Next Strength Cycle…

It’s Gonna Be Different… But You’re Gonna Get Stronger!!!
