NEW YEAR, NEW CAUSE! Monday W.O.D. 1/4/21

New Year, New Month, New Cause!
This January, we are excited to partner with Hope for Haiti to provide education to children in southern Haiti. Every 10 check-ins will provide a day of education to a classroom of 30 children! The hashtag this month is #hopeforhaiti.
Hope for Haiti considers education to be the keystone to sustainable development. By supporting, strengthening, and expanding the resources of existing schools, they are providing children with the tools they need to create their own future.
If you want to learn more about Hope for Haiti, you can check them out at hopeforhaiti.com.
Thanks for checking in this month to help Haiti build their future through education!
With thanks,
Owners – Macy & Jenn Mitchell
DAILY MINDSET
“When it’s obvious that the goal cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goal, adjust the action steps.” – Confucius
We’ve drawn a close to one of the most memorable years of recent decades… 2020.
As we enter 2021, we’ll be planning some targets, some goals, some aspirations. As we put the time towards thinking of the year ahead, let’s do a visualization exercise together to help shape those thoughts.
Imagine we’re sitting together in a coffee shop… and it’s the end of 2021. Just about a year from today.
And I ask you,
“Hey friend. Tell me… what do you feel was your biggest accomplishment of 2021?”
“Did you set any goals that you set, but happened to miss? What would you change?”
“And last question… now with 2021 in hindsight, what do you think are your major growth areas for 2022?”

THRUSTERS
Timing
- Today we’ll touch on timing for the three more technical movements of the workout
- In the thruster, this involves the timing of the press overhead
- Look to keep the bar securely on the shoulders until the hips and legs straighten to get the most out of the lower body
- Use the squeeze of the butt as the cue to initiate the press Movement Prep
- 5 Dip + Drives (Squeeze the Butt + No Press)
- 5 Push Press
- 5 Front Squats
- 5 Thrusters
PULL-UPS
Timing
- The timing of the pull is also important for max efficiency
- The order of operations goes as follows:
- Kick the feet in front of the bar
- Pop the hips towards the bar by squeezing the butt
- Finish with a pull of the arms during the weightless moment
- Pulling before the first two steps take place can throw off our rhythm and make it more of an arm-dominant movement
- Think “kick-pop-pull”
- Check out the Daily Video for more on the pull-up and thruster teaching points Movement Prep

“BERGERON BEEP TEST”
- Find a transition speed between movements that ideally allows you to stay unbroken throughout the 9 total rounds
- The burpees are also the only station where we’re not holding onto something
- Complete the 7 burpees at a pace that allows for unbroken sets on the thrusters and the pull-ups
- If you’re confident with the light thrusters and pull-ups, you can afford to push the transition and the burpees a little more
