Hey guys,
It’s a beautiful, and hot, Sunday here in Burlington North Carolina and it’s time for the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! We are kicking off a brand new month this week and we hope everyone is excited to get in here and put in some hard work. Remember that we are on part two of our current lifting cycle where we are focusing on some eccentric tempo work in our Olympic lifts. The idea here is that we are focused on proper positions so keep that in mind. We also have some excellent conditioning for you guys this week so getting here as consistently as possible. Now let’s have a look…
- July 4th: happy Independence Day to everyone! We are going to have normal gym hours this entire week except for Tuesday. Tuesday, the 4th, we will be closed except for one class at 9 AM!

Zone 3 AMRAPs are intended to be completed at a sustainable pace. Move through this workout at an intensity that feels challenging yet sustainable for the full time domain. You should pick a pace that you may be able to say a few words in but likely cannot hold full conversation. If you are focused, you should be able to breathe in and out of your nose for the majority of the time.

Well that’s all we’ve got for this week’s edition of the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown, and things seem to be heating up in July! I’m not sure if coming to the gym would help…but it’d be a lot cooler if ya did! Remember to get in here as consistently as possible so that we can get the most out of this program. Anytime we are running progressions like we are doing in our gymnastics and our lifting it is extremely important to show up as much as possible and always remember to input your results into the system at the end of each class so we can build and grow as things progress. Now you guys enjoy your holiday weekend and get plenty of rest, recovery, and relaxation so we can hit it hard this week. See you all in class!
