Today's post is going to cover a bunch of topics and bring you some tips on speed reading. Yeh that's right speed reading. Read on and you'll see.
Reminder that today we will be doing our run through Olympic Lifting meet. At 2 PM we will be running a dry run of the type of environment you can expect to see in the Olympic meet coming up later on at CrossFit Roots. We will go through warming up, performing on the platform, and staying warm between the lifts. Bring your Olympic shoes, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and anything else you need to lift heavy weight with and we'll take care of the rest. We'll have a sign up sheet and talk about the order and the amount of time for each lift. This way you'll be prepared and know what to expect at Roots.
Second little bit of information and this is geared towards the newer members but also a reminder to our other members.

Speed reading is amazing. Did you see the scene in Good Will Hunting where Will is rifling through the therapist's book. Yes it's the greatest movie all time but that's not the point. The point is that speed reading is badass. Well here's a link to an article and 20 minutes of exercise that's supposed to increase your reading speed by 300%. Just think how quickly you could get through Luke's post and get to the funny part? Here's the link, enjoy. Speed Reading Link.
