The article above has made its way around social media. A few members from the gym have posted about it. Now I want everyone to act on it! A few highlights from the article BELOW!
Dallas H. from Whole9, Physical Therapist “I see more sub-acute and chronic injuries resulting from inadequate recovery from exercise (especially with high-intensity programs), than resulting from an acute or traumatic incident. The primary fault lies with inadequate or improper recovery from exercise, not the type or intensity of exercise. (To put it another way, it’s not that you’re hurting yourself doing pull-ups – more often than not, it’s because you’re not properly recovering from those pull-ups.) I believe that a high-intensity exercise program is both effective and sustainable life-long only when combined with good nutrition and recovery practices.”
Merely taking a day or two off from exercise when you’re feeling overtrained (or All Banged Up) is, to put it bluntly, the slacker’s version of “recovery.”
Please take the above and advice and article seriously. We talk about this stuff all the time! Do not just read and move on ACT ON IT!
Strength WOD
Deadlifts 5/5/5/5
Work up to 70% of your 3 RM and do all 4 sets of 5 at that weight!
We need to focus on speed and recovery as well as strength. If you pulled 315 for 3 then you should be using no more than 225 for these sets
If you have not been here on a deadlift day then use a weight you can move with ease but feels heavy.
WOD
30 Box Jumps (24/20)
25 Hand release Push ups
20 Power Cleans (135/95)
2 Rounds
