Reposting this story of Matt Chan’s biking accident as it’s an amazing story of recovery and how sometimes every little thing that happens can be a series of improbable events that if just one doesn’t happen, everything goes wrong.

Today was a big milestone for Michelle M. She completed her 500th WOD at SRCF! That is an example of hard work, discipline, and a desire to be healthier. We are proud of you and congrats on joining the 500 WOD Club! You look proud in your T-Shirt.

Achieving a milestone of 100, 250, 500 workouts or whatever number is a testament of your dedication to come in day in and day out when there are any number of things that can and will get in the way. It gives both of us a large amount of satisfaction to see people in our gym want to earn a right to wear a T-Shirt. It means you care enough about your fitness to set a goal and earn it. Keep track of your workouts, put the time and effort in, and remember that maintaining your health is a lifelong endeavor.

Here’s what she had to say about it:

“Today was a big milestone for me…500 CrossFit wods in the books. Hands down the hardest but most worthwhile fitness plan for me. I still can’t do half the stuff I want to but I’m closer to those goals than I was when I started 3 years ago! One of the best parts is the friends I’ve made while “suffering in the trenches”. ‪#‎sameorbetter‬

CrossFit by the numbers:
•100: percent I gave every wod
•3: # of years since beginning my cf journey
•2: # of surgeries (non-CrossFit related)
•0: # of CrossFit injuries (bloody shins and hands don’t count)
•too many: # of tshirts I’ve bought!
•countless: # of friends I’ve made
•500: times I told my pride to shut up and just get in there (aka: # of wods as of today!)”

I read this article below and thought “that’s us”. Michelle and I both got a kick out of the last two points 1) everyone should want to join our gym and 2) when you leave for whatever the reason, it’s like you’re dumping us.

Bodyweight day. After some strict pull-up practice to build pulling strength the finisher was pure cardiorespiratory endurance. This was a good shift after a few high intensity max effort type workouts this week. Over the next two months as we approach the Open we will see more of a shift in the conditioning workouts to focus on intervals or rep schemes that lend itself to max efforts at a higher intensity as well as those that emphasize endurance.

Today was our third Stop the Slop Performance WOD Challenge. We will re-test this WOD in 30 days and for those who entered the challenge we will measure the % improvement in times and the winner will get a portion of the prize money (the winner of the Nutrition Challenge will also share in the prize money). For the next month the focus of “Stop the Slop” is not only to eat right, but also to clean up technique and form. Use this time to work on becoming more efficient in movements, transitions, and rest.

This year I changed the programming slightly to allow for a workout that is still similar to “Baseline” and past Stop the Slop WOD’s but mixes it up to allow for a faster flow. Having two lifts this year with 10 reps each that are spread out (instead of one with higher reps in the middle) and not going from squats into the final run meant less rest overall and more movement. Cutting the pull-ups slightly but adding chest-to-bar still made them challenging and also upped the intensity. This variation overall seemed like a fun combination. If you need to “buy-in” then see your coach to sign up and fork over your cash. Looking forward to seeing the improvement in a month!
