I started posting accessory work last week, and I’m going to build on it this week. There is an overly complex way to write accessory work – it makes me feel smartypants, and you will feel smartypants too. If you see A1 followed by A2 – these movements are meant to go directly into the next. So tomorrow, you do a set of 15 Arnold Press, then directly into the Dimmell Deadlift. When you complete the 3 sets, you move onto B. B is sit-ups, but it’s one big set. By doing to super sets, you will not only build the intended movement, but develop grip, lactic acid threshold and other good stuff. *** Zoom Class information can also now be found in the announcements section of the SugarWOD app, right above the workout. ***SugarWOD also has a Movements section that links you to workout movement videos!!Check it out!

If you missed the live announcement on instagram – make sure you check us out on instagram – Crossfit Oakdale is offering 1 FREE month of Precision Nutrition Coaching. This time we are in, “uncertainty” has been bandied about A LOT, creates opportunity. Time to learn, time for change, time to deal with the time we are in. We have 3 teenagers in our household who believe there is no need to sleep, only to game. It is hard to help anyone understand that we now have the time to do what we want – within the confines of shelter-at-home. If you tell me you just want to hang out with your friends, I will tell you I have heard it before, every day from at least 3 people. But as...Read more

Big thanks to June for contributing to tonight’s blog post on donating platelets. If you haven’t met June, she is the most fit 60 year old you will meet. If she is not running/rowing/CrossFitting, then she is playing golf. June came in 91st IN THE WORLD in the Age Group Online Qualifier for the 2020 Crossfit Oakdale Games. She has been a solid member of Crossfit Oakdale since 2013. Thank you for sharing, June! “Hi this is June. I think most of you guys know me.

Lighter traffic, possibly less emails? Unless you work in the medical field or in an essential retail field and your life is both scary and busy. Is it stressful? Damn right it is. How are you rolling with possibly less of a routine? At the very least, we all have the fact that we can’t go to the gym in common. I have been a meditation guy for 5 years now. I started about 5 years ago on Denny’s recommendation and I haven’t missed a day since day one. I use the Headspace app and spend 20 minutes or so every day counting my breaths, watching my thoughts come and go. The thoughts never stop, you just get better at...Read more
