North East Regionals Day #1

Day 1 of Regionals is in the books. We are all back at the apartment we rented in Boston, eating, and cleaning and resting up for another big day tomorrow. I couldn’t be more proud of how everyone did, and couldn’t be more lucky to be able to work, train, and coach with these amazing people. As of right now we sit tied for 3rd place. 1st place sits with 7 points, at 2nd place there are 3 teams tied with 10 points, and in 3rd place there is CVCF and another team tied with 13 points. Workout #1, probably one of the hardest workouts for our team went great. Despite a few no reps, everyone kept their composure, all 4 members hammered through the deadlifts, Dani covered all 40 HSPU’s with Nate doing almost as many, and everyone pushed hard right to the end, which…

WOD: Back Squat:5 reps @ 30% of 1RM5 reps @ 45% of 1RM5 reps @ 60% of 1RM20 reps @ 70% of 1RM While this is very phsyical, it is probably more of a mental test than anything. Be mentally strong and know you are going to get through the squats. You should go until you hit 20 reps or until you fail. AQAP:100 Burpees For results post weight used for 20 Rep Back Squat, and time for 100 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Mental fortitude was the name of the game today. Great work tearing up the Burpees and pushing through the Back Squats. It was so awesome to see you all work through the mental fight that both these things were. Gotta show you guys that I do actually train haha, so an old video of me doing 100 Burpees below. Sorry…
