“BACK” 2 the BASICS Program is for everyone of you.
I am ecstatic at the feedback and response I have gotten from my last post on my program to rehab myself back to proper training.
Over fifty people in some shape or form have either thanked me for reminding them to train at their “own” level, or, they took a deep breath of air and cheered with joy realizing they were not the “only” person in the whole gym who was thinking “I should not lift this much today, but I don’t want to be wimpy so oh well”.
Most people begin CrossFit with some type of pre existing condition or imbalance. This could stem from a former injury from sports, having multiple babies, sitting at a desk all day, some type of surgery..etc. The other culprit is getting so pumped on working out that you don’t recover at all, meaning: you don’t sleep enough, eat well or take an occasional ice bath after hard days in the gym.
You can be a meathead and ignore it and continue to lie to yourself about your level and abilities or you can be smart, humble and work to fix the problem, and many times train around them!! I am speaking to those of you who frequently here a voice in your head whispering “its been 5 days in a row, should I rest?”, “my shoulders are really tight from yesterday, should I do the wod rx’d or scale the overhead movements?”, “I am scared to tell my coach this is out of my range, I’ll just fight through it”.
Please do not forget, we are here to push you and make you more fit and support you into doing things you never thought you could, but this is your fitness you need to communicate with your coaches, we love it when you do!
I’ve already worked with a couple of you on this, but it is important that everybody has an opportunity to get this information. I am volunteering extra time because I want everybody to be able to attend one of my “Back 2 the Basics” classes out so you can have an entire bag of tools (proper movements) to keep your body on track while doing everything you wish in the gym, on the trails, and at the club 
My “Back rehab Program” will keep you out of pain and keep you in a very good position/path to keep improving and getting more fit all in the hopes of looking better naked at the same time. AAhhh, bliss.
I would like to see each one of you in my class at some point in the next month. If you absolutely cannot make it talk to me so we can maybe set another time for you, because you are special and it matters.
My hopes are these 5 things happen for you:
1: You assess yourself and your goals
2: Make necessary changes so you can absolutely reach your goals
3: Participate in “Back 2 the Basics” at least once
4: Use the plan to the level that you need (meaning)
-do you stay with “B2B” for 4 weeks and use open gym time to do so?
-do you add in some of the tools you learn from “B2B” to your current CrossFit
training
5: Train Healthy and Forever
This is pretty simple, if your coach asks you by Feb 6th of next month if you have completed your “B2B” and you have not. Your coach has to complete the 50 calorie bike text + 100 Burpee for time wod, and that would be very mean of you to put that bag of candy in their pocket…so be nice and please come in to see me!
“B2B” is part of your normal membership, there is no extra cost. It is a class created for YOU to remain awesome. “B2B” should be a part of everyones training whether you have an injury or not. It is both rehab and prehab, either way very important for your training health.
Back 2 Basics will be held:
Wednesday mornings at 6am @ West Gym
Sunday mornings at 10am @ West Gym
Remember, a healthy back and smart training isn’t for the weak, it’s what allows to be the strongest you can be!

A quick word of caution…well, not really caution, maybe just a ‘friendly little heads up’: Your little get together with Bobbie for the B2B session(s) WILL NOT BE EASY. I’ve been doing this with her for 2 sessions now and holy crap is it hard!! That is if you really focus and do it how she asks you to…but man does it work! Incredibly taxing, sore the next day, but well worth the time and effort.
Thanks again Bobbie for putting this out there for everyone…great to see all of the expert knowledge and experience you guys have benefiting so many.

This sounds great Bobbie!
I have spina bifida and am constantly adjusting and scaling to avoid pain. It will be good to hear what you have to say and show us.
On a separate note, I saw the Big Dawgs flyer in the East gym yesterday and we would definitely be interested in a Friday and/or Saturday class. Hannah and Alex both enjoy the class but Alex is unable to attend on T/Th due to hockey commitments.
Thanks and see you soon!

I have done the B2B once and am hooked. It truly is great rehab, stability, and mobility for your back. AKA, TLC. Let’s face it we all need it. I plan to continue to incorporate the B2B in my regular crossfit trainig!
Thanks Bob’s!
