Hey guys,
It’s a beautiful Sunday and time for another edition of the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! We have an excellent week ahead for you guys as we continue with this current strength block and our usual gymnastics progressions. Along with this we’ll have some conditioning as well to keep the heart and lungs thriving. You all have been absolutely crushing things lately. We have been seeing a ton of progress with our gymnastics progressions and lots of strength PRs so hats off to all of you for the hard work and dedication. Remember to stay consistent and keep those goals in mind. Now let’s dive in and get a look at this week…
- Shirts: New shirts are being mocked up as we speak. We’ll have a new round of “house” shirts with our original logo (by request) and later we’ll have some custom 80’s theme shirts for pre-order! (also by request)
- Johnny (aka Papa Shine): As some of you know, our beloved Johnny Hodge is in the hospital recovery from a lung surgery. During this time we just ask for your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. The surgery itself went well, biopsy’s were taken of lymph nodes as precaution and get best plan of action. He’s had some complications but receiving good care and once stabilized can start back doing Fran probably by Wednesday!

If you are focused, you should be able to breathe in and out of your nose for the majority of the time.
