CrossFit Central coach and all-around awesome dude Travis Holley has embarked on a year-long project called 365 Days of Strength. Travis shares his infinite knowledge and legit strength WODs on his blog (click here). His words:
The purpose of this project is to provide you all with a unique perspective into all things STRENGTH!
I want to take you inside the strength training realm, provide you with training tips, info-packed interviews with the area’s/country’s top strength coaches, and hard hitting SWODs(Strength Workout Of the Day) that you can take on to build that physical AND mental STRENGTH!!!!
Here’s the deal….I love this shit!!! I am passionate about all modes of strength training. Period. This blog project will be a bare bones, stripped down work in progress for sure, but if you are serious about getting strong, and you’re ready to take your strength game to the next level….all you gotta do is tune in daily. Simple.
My training lately has been very consistent—4 days of Wendler/week + under-10 min CF WODs, yoga 3-4x/wk, and swimming, sprinting, and walking mixed in—but I’ve missed out on critical elements of CF WODs that aren’t heavy lifting or quicker cardio-style. Enter SWODs!
When I tweeted about his latest SWOD, my phone autocorrected it to SWORDS, which is really how a SWOD feels. Like a sword stabbed you through the gut. It’s the second day since I completed Travis’s SPICY Barbell Complex and I haven’t been this sore in a few months … I LOVE that feeling!!
Travis’s blog has a ton of great info, sweet vids, and obviously killer workouts. Thanks for the good SWORDS and words and wods, I’m excited to keep up for the rest of the year (we’re on day 47 right now)!
