Guys, I put the paper towels actually in the dispenser, ladies, the paper towels in the men’s have been outside for like a year I think. HA!

Hey guys, I hope you’re traveling and going somewhere awesome with your families and friends! The gym is closed this week. I know it’s a killer for those of us staying here this week. Big thanks for being understanding. Please remember that even with this closure, we’re offering a whopping 295 workout days this year. Between you, me and the fence post, that’s definitely enough opportunities to become fit.

Here’s the list of things I’m trying to accomplish this week:
Lights!
Black Paint
Deep Clean Mezzanine:
Hyper
Lat Pull – New Cable?
T-Bar – Adjust thingers?
Bench
DB Racks
Bar Holder
Weight Tree
Free Bench – Tighten things?
Rack
Floor
Get 2.5’s from TIL to make it nice nice
Fire Extinguisher Holder
Throw out gross carpet press thingies
Clean Upstairs whiteboard
Frame it?
Caps for T-bar
C2 Gear Maintenance
Bottom T-Bar Thingy to the top one?
New Hyper Strap, in the file cabinet?
Wall Hanger on Mezzanine for Shoulder horn
New tape on shoulder horn
Take Apart and oil barbells
Sell 100lb DBs?
New Crate for Small DBs
Face “Speal” Bars right
Tighten and Washers on Loose WB Targets by garage door
Vacuum Stairs
Toss Freezer and Microwave
New Microwave
Sell C2 slides
New PVC Pipe holder
Dust/Mop/Vacuum main floor
go through clips and bands in cubbies
go through file cabinet
go through front desk – throw shit out
Touch up black posts in back
Touch up Gray…

It’s a list!! I’ve tried in the past to stay focused on getting things done throughout the year on weekends, between classes, and I’ve found that I do a crappy job, feel rushed and end up not being my best self for you guys in class, because I’ve got this project on the back of my mind while I’m trying to teach your class. Instead, if I can focus in hard for a week to get loads of things 100% done at once, I do much better. In the end, it’s for YOU! To make your training space, cleaner, safer, better set up, more efficient, and simply put, an actually nice place to train. Big thanks.

No April Fools jokes, I abhor that sort of thing, so this is a straight as it gets fam.

Remember the gym is closed next week, April 7-12 for renovations and cleaning (you probably won’t notice a thing, but it’ll take me all week smashing both gyms to get them rehabilitated for another year of deadlift debauchery and willful WOD wonderment) but this week is good to go 🙂

Sincerely, I hope you guys are headed off somewhere great for Spring Break, enjoying the time, getting some sun and resting your bodies. The Open was tough! Shoulders are sore, hips are sore, it’s OK to take a week and recover yourselves. I’ll be posting some home workout ideas and recommendations, but see them as just that, if you’ve got better things to do, DO THEM INSTEAD!

Workouts:

Monday: Clean Doubles for Heavy

Tuesday: “Mary” Max Rounds in 20 Minutes of: 5 Handstand Push-ups, 10 Alternating Pistols, 15 Pull-ups

Wednesday: 3 Rounds for Time: 400m Run, 40 Double Unders, 40 Hang Power Cleans 75/55, Rest 2 Minutes

Nothing out of the ordinary this week, except I suppose the 5k Run on Saturday! The loop at Lynnwood is to run down to Barnes and Nobles, take a right, then run all the way to Target, run between Target and Kohl’s on the sketchy road back there, then simply come back to the gym. Scaling should be done! Less distance, and all the way down to some shorter interval runs within the gyms walls. Try to make an effort to come and train your running Saturday. It’s not about suffering through 3 miles of running, it’s about getting better at running, regardless of where you are on your running journey!
