Recovery


When we lift weights we break down muscle, when we recover our body adapts and rebuilds it stronger than it was before to be able to withstand the load we put on it. If we don't recover properly we don't give our bodies a chance to rebuild and be better than before. Over time if we continue to put a load on our muscles, recover, rebuild we continue to get stronger and more fit. The better we are at recovering the more we can workout and we can improve our fitness faster and get more fit overall. Here are some ways to help your body recover faster and some brief ways they work.


Nutrition

  • Food is fuel for performance and building blocks for recovery. You must eat enough, but quality and balance are very important. 
  • Protein is used to build muscle. Carbs replenish glycogen in your muscles. Quality Fats have Essential Fatty Acids that help in recovery of joints and the building of bones. 
  • Supplements like fish oil and whey protein can help recovery but they won't do much if the rest of your diet is bad. 

Sleep

  • Muscle is repaired during sleep. 
  • 8-10 hours of quality sleep is best for optimum recovery. 
  • In deep sleep the body will produce HGH

Sports Massage, See a Chiropractor, Yoga, Muscle Stimulation, Romwod, Lacrosse ball work, Foam Rolling, Cupping, Cryotherapy, 

  • Professional body work is the most effective. 
  • Foam rolling can be done to relieve soreness and work out knots causing tight muscles.  Foam Rolling should be focused on overactive muscles to help restore muscle balance during movement. 

Hydration

  • The recovery and muscle building processes is much slower with out adequate hydration, it is needed to carry nutrients to your muscles
  • If your dehydrated your body can cramp up or even break down muscle tissue.

Starting CrossFit


Here are a few links we like for advice on getting started. We also hand out some rules and tips at the gym. Here are some of the most important things  from our experience.

-Listen to your coaches, they have your best interest in mind and have helped many new athletes before.

-Build a good foundation for your fitness house. We have progressions and we like certain scaling techniques for a reason. Some are even better for some athletes than others, we are all different with different posture, and strengths and weaknesses. Skipping important steps can be dangerous, you need fitness walls before the windows.

-Take it one day/ workout at a time. Some days will be amazing, and you will celebrate, some days will be tough. Don't get down on yourself. Always stay positive. A tough day at the gym will be better for your fitness than a day on the couch.

-Have Fun!

I am the type of person that__________




 "I am the type of person that__________"

This is a idea I picked up recently from a podcast or audio book that I have been thinking about. I believe positive self talk goes a long way towards becoming successful towards your goals, what ever they may be.  If you tell yourself that I am the type of person that does something in certain situations, you have decided in advance and you don't  have to consider another option that will take yourself in the wrong direction. What type of person do you want to be? Here are a few ways to finish the sentence above I want to keep telling myself.

loves and takes care of my family
does what I expect of myself even when no one is watching.
finishes the last round of a work out or end of a amrap with everything I have.
works hard to become stronger and move better.
stays away from sweets in social situations.
is always learning.
watches educational t.v. instead of crap.
is always working to improve my self and those around me.

Fernando


 Fernando was one of our very first athletes, he is in our facebook photo albums from 2010  and  2011 in some of the last workouts we did in our garage and some of the first work outs we did in a warehouse. Fern quickly became one of our strongest guys but has always been one of the best members of our community. He has taken some breaks from Crossfit but has been consistent as anyone lately. He always has a positive attitude and a smile on his face. I asked Jordon about having Fernando in his 9:00 class.  "He is an all around amazing person to be around, he is a hard worker that is crazy strong."

How to set notifications from Triib
 A cool feature of Triib is the opportunity to track work outs and lifts, Its also fun to see others work outs and like or comment on their scores. The problem is that there isn't a default notification set up. If you want to set your notifications log into your account. (not the ap) Underneath the picture click on settings. Then on the right side click on "Alerts" You can sync your phone to get a text message, get an email, or what I prefer turn on the mobile alerts and the ap will let you know when someone likes your workout or has a comment.

Who's Really the Selfish One?

Who’s Really the Selfish One?

By Wes Piatt at Coast Range Crossfit

For the past seven years I’ve made my life coaching and helping others find health and wellness in one way or another.  As with any profession, over time you will come across the same problems.
About four years ago, I was coaching at my old gym, CrossFit Inferno, in my hometown of San Luis Obispo, California. One of our members pulled me aside after class and asked if I could help her with something. She was having trouble finding the time to make it to the gym enough to feel like the membership was worth it.
We spent the next hour writing down her daily schedule from the moment she woke up until the moment she fell asleep. The disheartening thing was there really wasn’t much space in her schedule to make it to the gym more than twice a week. We all know that while twice a week is better than zero, it’s not going to get anybody the results they want or need.
After another hour of rescheduling, we came up with a plan that would allow her to get into the gym three days a week. Still not ideal, and she would really have to hustle to make it work, but better than what she was doing now. I hugged her, told her I would be checking in to make sure she was holding up her end of the bargain and to let me know if she needed any other help.
That member made it two weeks coming three times a week, then eventually went right back to her two, one, or not at all some weeks. When I saw her a few months later I asked her how the schedule was working out for her (knowing already she hadn’t been coming like we talked about). With her head down, she said something that stuck with me and really shifted the way I think. She said, “I just can’t be selfish and put the gym before my family.”  Continue Here
