WOD

This week is gonna be rad. Reminders: Murph is Sunday the 25th at Lynnwood, we’ll be closed Monday to observe Memorial Day. The gym will handle the BBQ and meats and fizzy drinks, you guys are in charge of sides and desserts 🙂 And for anyone who’s stoked on it, Wednesday is the 43rd Anniversary of Conan the Barbarian being released in theaters.

Thursday we’ll be doing our special workout to remember Nakba Day. We observe on May 15, it is a day of mourning and remembrance for Palestinians, marking the catastrophe (“al-Nakba”) of 1948 when over 700,000 native Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes during the creation of the state of Israel. It remembers the destruction of more than 500 Palestinian villages and the beginning of a painful exile that continues for millions of refugees and their descendants. Nakba Day is not just about history—it is about the ongoing struggle for justice, the right of return, and the preservation of Palestinian identity, land, and heritage in the face of continued occupation and displacement. Thanks for your support! Scaling is encouraged!!

Hey guys, I hope you’re traveling and going somewhere awesome with your families and friends! The gym is closed this week. I know it’s a killer for those of us staying here this week. Big thanks for being understanding. Please remember that even with this closure, we’re offering a whopping 295 workout days this year. Between you, me and the fence post, that’s definitely enough opportunities to become fit.

Here’s the list of things I’m trying to accomplish this week:
Air Bike Cover
C2 Gear Clean up
Rotate GHDs and Rhino
Lights/Ballast
Garage Door Closure
Redo colors on KBs
Fix hole in panel
One camera off wall by racks
Cob Webs
Black wall black
New H20 Heater
New fire extinguishers
Sell 1 bench
Stock TP
Vacuum
Sell other barbell
Chains outta there
DB rack outta there
What Flags can we fly?
Appendix Fix Up
Hang Pepper Spray
Outlet cover by bands
Belt Holder Situation
Little drywall repair on black wall
tape off the loaned DBs
spray paint the KBs?
Coverage for wood wall weights!
Rig Vrs. Racks on Faux Wall
yellow plates out
white paint on the wood spots
where the rings used to be
Faux Wall piece of wood?

It’s a list!! I’ve tried in the past to stay focused on getting things done throughout the year on weekends, between classes, and I’ve found that I do a crappy job, feel rushed and end up not being my best self for you guys in class, because I’ve got this project on the back of my mind while I’m trying to teach your class. Instead, if I can focus in hard for a week to get loads of things 100% done at once, I do much better. In the end, it’s for YOU! To make your training space, cleaner, safer, better set up, more efficient, and simply put, an actually nice place to train. Big thanks.
