Everyone wish Michelle a happy birthday!!!!!  And,

Congrats Cassidy!!! Cassidy qualified and registered for the CrossFit Games South Central Regional today.

Cassidy came to the gym yesterday questioning whether or not she should register for Regionals due to financial concerns.  Unfortunately, the registration rate for regionals is $100 per athlete; add in at least three nights in a hotel, asking for time off of work, travel expenses, and competing becomes quit expensive.

As a former/washed up athlete, I knew Cassidy would regret skipping the regionals so I encouraged her to give it a shot and do everything she could to make it happen.  I am glad she did!

So I decided to ask all our BOLT members, for her…..Please let me know if you would like to donate $1, $5, $10 to help with travel expenses, etc.  Anything helps!!  And I know Cass would be beyond appreciative.  We are a community, we support each other in workouts, so if you are able please support Cass to represent our gym, our community and herself at the Regional event.

Just to reiterate….

NO CAT BACKS! Deadlift load should be challenging, but choose a load that will allow you to complete 12 unbroken reps without a major form break (i.e. spurting lumbar vertebrae out of your low back). If you neglect all sense of form for the sake of time; I will stop you, unload the barbell and make you re-do the reps perfectly.

Training optimally means training smart and safely. The idea is to get better today, we are not trying to set any world records or sacrifice 3 months of training (due to a stupid injury) for a fast time. So no high rep sloppy deadlifts today. If you are solid on the DL and have pristine form, by all means crush it!
