ReComp Revolution...

“For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.”

One week until another year stomps it's way into the history books. On week to meet every goal we made this time one year ago. One week to invent the new us we hope to see one year form now.

A year ago you very well may have had the life changing betterment of starting CrossFit. Many of you did, many of you still are. Maybe yours was sectionals, regionals, teams, or games. Many of you did, many of you will again. Maybe it was drop the freshman fifteen, or that pudgy baby weight that strangely hung on until your forties. Some even may have dawned bikini's atop a stage of judges. Maybe one or more describe you. Maybe you wish one did.

Join The Revolution, And Tell Your Friends

This year don't make a resolution. Revolt. Use this and any other public forum to sound off against behavior unbecoming of humanity in general. The flyer and program above clearly focus on exercise and nutrition, but it has a much broader scope. Merely scratching the surface of the problem will not cure it. Cutting deep enough to bleed the infection out, will make sure you no longer fall into the same pits that may have stopped success this either this year or years prior.

Set-em-up:

There are way too many "set a goal how to's" all over this world wide web. Just know what you wanna get. Stronger, leaner, healthier, prettier, smarter, more accountable, more spiritual. Then write it down. Look at it constantly. And attach the deadlines. Google one of the top doggers in this arena to help if you are lost on how to do this.

Home or Abroad:

Anyone, and everyone is meant to use Recomp-Revolution over the next five weeks to make changes in their current lives. Simple find a consistent algorithm to measure the desired markers, and continue to hold yourself accountable by re addressing those measurement you don't need a hematologist for. Post results to Facebook.

Get Those Pics and Baselines:

Pics are really for you. Posting to Facebook helps others. You will never be as regretful as ending a challenge of such magnitude without taking before pictures. The optimal items are so valuable from a scientific standpoint its unimaginable. Lets say your so far gone your outward appearance only recomps by 8 pounds. Say a four pound muscle gain, and a four pound fat loss. Eight pound recomp which is still great, but all the sudden your triglycerides plummet, and your blood pressure decreases. Wouldn't that be a sales pitch to you and yours to continue this little charade 

Start logging your food:

Fat Secret is one of the easiest sites to track your food everyday. Its not that this is always going to be necessary, just for the next five weeks. That way if we hit a snag, I can take a look and give you instant feedback. Just stay diligent and log it for five weeks.

Follow Something:

As far as setting a baseline of WODs it really is irrelevant what benchmarks you use, it just depends on what happens on the the other end. If your goal is not leanness, watch your strength. If it lie more in the realm of aesthetics, just make sure you don't sacrifice all your strength to get there.

PCF will test a few Key strength lifts come January 5th, just over a month later, we will test them again. Follow ours, or anothers, just find something to hold every level of achievements accountable.

Today:

Right now for all to see, so w can re-post this very blog as often as we like and always re-visit it to see how we traveling at any stage of this year. Write any three promises, or goals or whatever you will have in any area of life this year, then attach a deadline. Then post to comments. At least this year you won't be alone. This year that dream will end in reality.
