🔥 The Junkie Journal | July in Full Swing! 🔥 Hey Junkies! 👋 Summer has officially arrived and the energy in the gym has been awesome. From big lifts to sweaty metcons, you all are showing up strong—keep it up! Here’s what’s happening this week and what you can look forward to: 💪 Programming Focus: Over the next several weeks of summer, we’re taking a page from our past with this well-rounded training block designed to build strength, dial in technique, and keep our conditioning sharp. Here’s what you can expect: 💪 Strength Work You Can Feel: You’ll see consistent progressions in foundational lifts like Cleans, Squats, and Deadlifts—paired with skill-focused Olympic weightlifting. Expect every session to include dedicated strength work to help you move better and get stronger. 🏃‍♂️ Conditioning Variety: From classic benchmark workouts like Christine to fresh interval pieces and partner challenges, the conditioning will keep you on your toes. We’re mixing short, intense AMRAPs with longer grind-style workouts to build both engine and grit. 🔧 Movement Quality & Mobility: Each day kicks off with intentional warm-ups and mobility prep—think hip openers, thoracic work, and activation drills—so you feel primed for training and can move safely and effectively. 🔥 Scaling Options for All Levels: Whether you follow StormKing, Pyramind Peak, or Spruce Railroad every workout has built-in modifications so you can get the most out of your training, no matter where you’re starting. This is a great month to stay consistent, hone your technique, and push your capacity. Let’s keep showing up and getting after it together! 💥 July Push-Up Challenge: We’re halfway through our 30-Day Push-Up Challenge! 🙌 Remember—these can be done at home or in the gym. You’re adding 2 push-ups each day (resting every 7th), building strength and consistency. Keep tagging us in your updates—we love seeing your progress! 👭 Ladies Lift: Don’t forget—Ladies Lift returns July 17th! This is a great chance to lift heavy, learn new skills, and connect with the other strong women in our community. If you haven’t tried it yet, come check it out—good vibes guaranteed. Our women-only strength class kicks back off on Thursdays at 5:00pm. Grab your spot early—email us at stormkingcrossfit@outlook.com to sign up. Let’s keep showing up, cheering each other on, and making July a strong month together. #StrongerTogether #StormKingStrong
