CrossFit Northern Inferno WOD for Thursday May 23, 2013

We love the fact that people get so stoked on the crazy workouts we do here at the INFERNOs.  People get hooked and love all the hard work they are putting into it and its amazing to watch! But there usually comes a time when there will be some that start to get discouraged because they arent seeing a big change in their body composition.  They know they are working hard but they dont seem to be changing at all or enough for how hard they are working.  When these folks come to me confused or bothered by it, my first question is "hows your nutrition?".  Invariably, the answer is "well i eat pretty good", or "im about 80% paleo".  The next thing I like to ask is to see if they have written down what they are eating.  Now all of you should have a Logbook to log your workouts in, you can, and should, be writting down your food in these books.  The reason is that there is only ONE way to truly see what your body is doing, and thats to look at whats going in your mouth.  The is NO workout program that will single handedly give you the body you want.  Your nutrition will determine your body composition.  So if you get confused, bothered, or concerned about your body or your perfromance, look at your food.  Write down a minimum of a weeks worth of food and drink so you can see exactly whats happening.  AND BE COMPLETELY HONEST!!!! Then we can figured it out and get you on the right track:)

Being that I have a special place in my heart for the fire service, we will be dedicating todays WOD to Bradley Harper.  He was a young 23 year old fireman who died in the line of duty earlier this week in Phoenix, my home town.  We had a visiting crossfitter/firefighter from Phoenix, Hakim, who told me about this and we at the INFERNOs would love to offer this up in Bradely and his family's honor.  Rest In Peace brother!

IF YOU ARE A FIREFIGHTER, DO THIS IN TURNOUTS AT YOUR HOUSE

CrossFit Northern Inferno WOD for Tuesday May 21, 2013

Well after all this Regional stuff, there is always the question of how to rehab yourself.  Of course its going to be different for everyone (slightly anyways) but there needs to be a couple things listed before hand.  First, when you are training, you should be in a general state of readiness all the time.  This means that there shouldnt be huge ups and downs in your training.  Sure you will increase volume, or concentrate a little more on fixing those goats, or building the engine.  But you shouldnt ever let yourself go completely away from training.  I will admit im sore today after throwing weights around with the kids this weekend, but anymore than 3-4 days off and i end losing more overall and hurting myself.  No, i dont need to come back like im training for the Regionals out of the gate, but i need to be moving.  There needs to be MOBILITY in large amounts to get that body back and ready to go.  I have some pains that need to heal and ill make sure to go easy on those, but what ill do is modify the movements to not aggravate those aches.  My body isnt made up of only 1 joint, so i have all kinds of other things i can do.  This idea holds true for suds like Wes that qualified for the GAMES.  Heal and recovery in huge. MOBILITY is super important.  And then building back into the training so the body is prepped, primed and ready!!  Dont do the big race then celebrate by eating crappy food, drinking , getting bad sleep, and not getting back to the gym.  Your body has been working hard so dont piss in the gas tank.  Keep yourself in that constant state of readiness!!!  And then you will be ready!!

FEEL THE NORTHERN HEAT!!!!!

CrossFit Northern Inferno WOD for Thursday May 16, 2013

THE GYM WILL BE CLOSED THURSDAY PM, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY DUE TO THE REGIONALS IN DEL MAR THIS WEEKEND!!!!  SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE!!!

The quiet before the storm starts today for those going to the 2013 SoCal Regionals.  It amazing how nerve wracking it can get know that you will be standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the best athletes in the world to see who has the best fitness.  But is it really a battle of one man/woman versus another?  Sure there is a race to see who can move the weight the fastest or complete the task the quickest but the race is truly against yourself and the clock.  How fast can you move the weight or complete the task?  If you do everything in your power to go as fast as possible, then does it really matter what the outcome is?  Of course we all want to win (believe me I hate to lose in anything) but there really is only one race.  That race is YOU versus YOU.  So for all those competing, do everything you can to do your best!  Enjoy what this event is and know that everyone in the stands has complete honor for all of you!!  Good Luck to everyone!  But of course an extra GOOD LUCK to our INFERNITES Wes Piatt, Adam Peterson and Danica Boyle!  As a coach and a friend, I couldnt be more proud of all of you!!!

CrossFit Northern Inferno WOD for Wednesday May 15, 2013

What does that little voice in your head say to you when you are in the middle of a terrible workout?  Do it tll you to stop  To slow down? Say that you dont really have to do this?  Start telling you that its ok because you had this or that happen today? That voice is always there but it gets really loud when we start to feel a little pain or discomfort.  However, just because the voice starts talking doesnt mean that you have to listen.  You can actually talk the voice around or drown it out with your own voice.  One way is to stop thinking about how bad it hurts, or thinking what rep you are on and just let your thoughts float away to what you are doing.  In your head, start to talk to yourself about your form.  Tell yourself to stay on your heels, drive your knees out and keep your elbows up, instead of "oh my gawd how many more do i have?"  The longer you can think about other things and just keep moving, the quicker you will get through the reps.  Give it a try the next time you are in the box.  When you get to that point where it starts to burn, just change the subject in your head keep on rolling!  See what happens!

CrossFit Northern Inferno WOD for Tuesday May 14, 2013

There is one main reason why everyone is in here crushing themselves everyday....to make their life better.  This goal my be stated differently for each of you but its the same thing.  You want to look better, be healthier, be able to play with your kids, look good in Vegas, make work easier, be safer at your job, you want to compete on the big stage, etc.......its all the same thing...you want your life to be better.  The movements you do here, in the ways we make you do them, the way we tell you to eat, the way we tell you to do mobility is all to help this goal.  Now, there will be injuries that happen.  Most of the time these are due to improper movement.  In fact, its usually when you get ahead of yourself and jump up in weight or intensity when you arent moving correctly enough yet to do really so.  Just because you dont get hurt this time doesnt mean you wont next time.  For you to gain the most out of these workout, yes we need you to push.  But we need you to be honest about how your body feels also.  If you are injured then treat it!!  Treatment isnt stopping and doing nothing.  Treatment is icing, mobility, fish oil, and properly scaling and modifying as needed.  If you dont do this, then you dont have an injury. You NEED to keep your ears open to your body and your coaches.  We will direct you to where you need to go and what you should be doing.  This isnt a chance to let that inner baby start whining about every little "owie", but be aware of whats up with your body.  Now let get to work!!!

FEEL THE NORTHERN HEAT!!!!!
