As we dive into the second half of October, the hustle and bustle of the season can feel overwhelming, but maintaining a consistent gym routine can be a crucial anchor. Amid the chaos of deadlines and holiday preparations, carving out time for workouts not only boosts physical energy but also sharpens focus and enhances mental clarity. As the days grow shorter and busier, dedicating those moments to movement can transform the challenges of the week into opportunities for growth, keeping you centered and invigorated. Don't forget to keep getting those 20 box-steps up every weekday for our Be Better Challenge this month!

Whiteboard of the Day

Today we have a classic heavy day following yesterday's Fran. This is an opportunity for you to go heavy if you're feeling good or to focus more on mechanics if you're feeling especially sore or fatigued.

Lift once every 4 minutes, allowing plenty of time to rest and prepare for the next set.

If you are working with a partner today, be sure to set the barbell up to the shortest athlete in your group so both athletes can get the barbell safely in and out of the rack.

In the warm-up, we will spend time building up to our starting weight.

Following the workout, we will do a little post-workout "finisher" and some stretching before you leave the gym.
