If you are judging and did not get the email last with the Competition Schedule, please text me 414-614-6452 so we can get get that over to you ASAP

If you are competing on Saturday, you should use today (Friday), as an active recovery day. Come do some light running, skiing, rowing, biking, very light weightlifting, or focused mobility work. I highly advise you do something active.

Also, if you are new to competing, here are some helpful tips:
-Diet wise, don’t try anything new. No new pre-workout, no new food, no new drinks, no new supplements, no new nothing. Eat foods and drink liquids that you know agree with your gut. This includes the day and night before. Trust me on this. The last thing you want is to be dealing with intestinal issues while working out.
-You will most likely not be hungry pre and post workouts, but you’ll likely perform better if you eat. Clean carbs (fruits, honey, rice, potatoes etc), and clean protein (whey shakes, protein bars, lean meats, yogurts, etc)  is what you should emphasize. But again, choose foods you eat regularly and know don’t cause distress.
– Get lots of sleep the night before. Be asleep before 10p if you can!
– Get your mindset right! Positive thoughts. Encouraging affirmations! Believe in yourself.
– I obviously want everyone to try hard and to do your very best, but remember to HAVE FUN, and play it safe, too!

One partner will start with the row and end with the burpees, and one person will start with the burpees and end with the row, you get to decide who does what.
