“Pushing Through The Pain… But Also Being Smart…”

This Past Week… I Threw Some Tough WODs Out For You Ladies & Gents…

The Weights… The Reps…

Don’t Get Butt Hurt…

But…

Some Of You…

You Surprised/Impressed The Hell Outta Me!!!

Some Of You…

Maybe Needed To Check Your Ego At The Door….

“ADV”… “Rx’d”… “Sx’d”… “MOD”…

I Feel Like I Have To Put A Post Up Like This Every Month…

I Don’t Give A Fuck What “Level” You Do…

If You’re A Legit Competitor Going To Every Single Competition That Is Being Held Every Single Weekend… Then Yes… You’re On Another Level…

If You’re Trying To Get To That Level… Yes… Push Yourself… But You Shouldn’t Feel Like You Got Hit By A Train Day In & Day Out…

If You’re New To The Sport… REALIZE THAT YOUR NEW TO THE SPORT!!!

If I Recommend A Weight That You Should Use… A Movement You Should Use… I Hope You Feel Confident With My Suggestions…

I’m Pretty Sure That I’ve Been Working Out/Coaching The Style Of Fitness That WE Do Longer Than You Have…

Am I A Dick Most Of The Times?!?!

YEP…

Why???

For Your Safety… For EVERYONE’S Safety…

Whether It’s Actually Paying Attention During The “Huddle Up”…

Or Actually FOCUSING During The Warm Up…

Or Not Letting Everything That We Did During The Warm Up Go To Shit Once I Yell “3…2…1…GO!!!”

Or…Being On Time!!!

I Have Always “Ran A Tight Ship”…

The Exact Meaning Of That Is:

To Direct A Well-Managed Or Strictly Disciplined Operation… To Keep Firm Control Of The Way Your Business Or Organization Is Run, So That It Is Organized & Efficient…

And Where Did This Meaing Come From?

This Expression… Dating From The 2nd Half Of The 20th Century… Alludes To A Vessel Whose Ropes Are Taut & Seams Well Caulked… Indicating That It Is Well Managed…

And That’s What RainCross Is All About…

Running & Maintaining A Tight “Ship”… A Tight Gym… A Tight Crew…

I Think That’s Important… I Think Everyting We Do Is Important…

Becaus When You’re In The Middle Of A Storm… You Need To Know What To Do… Safely & Correctly…

If Not… You’re Screwed…

I Can Easily Direct You To Many Gyms In SoCal That Will Let You Do Whatever You Want…

I Can Also Answer My Phone When You Call Me Asking To Come Back Because You Got Hurt…

I Trained/Train How I Was Coached To…

I Coach How I Was Coached…

I Take The Good & Keep It In My Back Pocket…

I Take The Bad & See If I Can… Not Fix It… But Simply Make It Better For That Particular Athlete…

That’s What I Do…

Take It Or Leave It…

3…2…1… GO!!!

Active Rest Day… Think About What You Want…
