Rest Day

Tomorrow is a rest day. Per the usual, get your sleep, foam roll, stretch, do whatever you need to do to feel good Thursday morning.
A great resource for stretching and mobility work is mobilitywod.blogspot.com. It's run by Kelly Starrett, a Crossfit coach and PT. He's super knowledgeable and his drills are really effective.

We have our first meet coming up this weekend so here's an inspirational video.
Background Story: Matthias Steiner, an Austrian native, became a German citizen in order to be able to compete internationally because Austria's weightlifting program fell through. Then, a few months prior to the 2008 Olympics his wife died in a car accident. At the Games he found himself in the silver medal spot going into his final attempt. He decided to go for gold and called for a 10 kilo pr. 10 kilos!! That's 22 pounds! A massive jump. Watch the video to see what happens.
