The Trimphant Ten Take Down Week One . . . Beast Style

 Week one down and the "Triumphant Ten" are still holding on strong—beast mode style! A review of last week's food journals revealed that the more this group gets into crossfit, the more they commit to the Compound Crossfit program for eating right—eating Paleo. Food is fuel. Put the wrong fuel in, and your body runs like $%^#!!! Forget about your recovery. By Friday of last week, almost every Bootcamper was consistently eating protein-fat-carb balanced meals. Way to go Ten! Now, once we get up to 5-6 meals a day, instead of the typical three, we'll see even better results from increased metabolism rates. Sounds crazy right... eat more, weight less? Any doubters should sign up for January's boot camp, and we'll show you how.

There's a ton of gyms offering crossfit programs in the Virginia Beach area, but Compound Crossfit is different—very different! We use hard-core crossfit training as the carving knife to re-shape bodies, increase strength, and revolutionize speed. But our program also adds some "spice" to take it one step further. Do you want to know how I know it's working? Monday night's WOD was a Wall Ball/Deadlift 12 min. AMRAP. Bootcampers who couldn't even thrust the ball 3 feet above their head were now hitting just below the targeted 18 foot line—backs straight, knees out, and hips thrusting forward. Yeah this program works! Compound Crossfit's program restores the athleticism you see in high schoolers, and we do it one week at a time.

 

To my "Triumphant Ten," please continue adjusting your eating habits this week. If you're going to do 100% of the work, which you've all done so far, don't short yourselves on the results by only buying 65% into the Paleo life style. And with that said, don't forget to bring in your favorite Paleo recipe to share Friday. 

Compound Crosfit Welcomes the "Triumphant Ten"

Well, well, well... two nights into Compound Crossfit's October Bootcamp, and it's clear that this group of boot campers, the "Triumphant Ten", came ready to work. They all came with some personal strength, shape, and conditioning goals that have to be met; Compound Crossfit has the program to make it happen. Wednesday night's class started out with several people rolling out sore muscles from putting tremendous effort into their first hard-core WOD Monday night—the infamous Fight Gone Bad. This was twelve sweaty, lung-burning minutes of pure Crossfit work, and we didn't see a single person quit. We also never saw anyone finish on their own that night. It's amazing to see group motivation drive individuals to do better. But then again, that's what the Compound is all about. It's also what makes the results from Compound Crossfit's programming second to none.

Wednesday turned out to be Monday night squared. After a warm-up and some tenacious Indian ladder races, the soreness appeared to be all but forgotten. Staying true to their opening night of pushing the envelope, team leader Tianna P. motioned on behalf of the class for five minute Tabatta rounds instead of the programed four. We gave it to them! Any hesitation there might have been in the room was held close to the body because everyone pushed ahead with a "We got this!" The "Triumphant Ten" spent the next 18 minutes reaffirming that they've got some changes they want to see. They know that results depend upon the effort put forth. Between their effort and the sweat angels left behind, it's clear they'll see them. The effort we saw was undeniable, and Compound Crossfit's programming is sure to enhance their success.

Thank you "Triumphant Ten" for being yet another group of individuals who embrace the community aspect of moving heavyweight, long distance, quickly. Welcome to Crossfit. We can't wait to push you past those fitness goals and into a lifestyle sure to impact everything you do. Also, please don't forget your food journals Friday because we'll be evaluating them this weekend. One of the most successful aspects behind Compound Crossfit's programming is the certified trainers who go one-on-one with you to tighten up that diet.

Remember . . . no one ever out exercises a bad diet!
