Karma means action and action motivated by compassion is good. To complain that what happens to you is just the result of your karma is lazy. Instead, confidently recalling the advice that, "You are your own master," you can change what happens by taking action.               ~ Dalai Lama

Within each of us exists the potential to contribute positively to society. Although one individual among so many on this planet may seem too insignificant, it is our personal efforts that will determine the direction our society is heading.

Mobility WORK

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words
"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, clean and jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports."

"It's more than put the work in," he said. "It's practice and rehearse the skills ... that you want to have as a reliable tool when the sh--'s hitting the fan, or when the stakes are high, or when your heartbeat is 180 beats per minute. You have to train for that. It's like a sport. You can't read a book on soccer and then go to the World Cup."

  EOD 130 Memorial WOD 

Reason: in honor of the 130 EOD Technicians in the Navy, Army, Marine Corps and Air Force who have made the ultimate sacrifice since 9/11.

Meaning: The workout is to be completed as a 2-Man EOD Team, consisting of 4 couplets to represent each of the services. Each couplet has two exercises totaling 130 reps, one rep for each of the fallen. After each couplet there are 16 partner over burpees as a throwback to the dreaded 16 point hit at EOD School.

Equipment: For each two man team: 1 barbell with prescribed weights, 1 Kettlebell, 1 Box and a pull up bar.

Instructions: Partners work to complete 65 reps of each movement, done as a “Chipper”, with one partner working at all times before moving onto the next movement (i.e. Partner 1 does 10 reps of the 65 Front squats while partner 2 rests, switching when necessary before moving onto the 65 KB Swings).


In TEAMs of 2 Complete:
65 Front Squats (135/95*)
65 KB Swings (70/53*)

“SENIOR” - Modified Team Workout: NO BODY ARMOR OR WEIGHT VEST. Prescribed weights and movements listed above, and completed as a team of two.

JOE-Day


On September 8, 2014, while dealing with a disorderly subject creating a disturbance at the Gardens of Ashley River apartment complex, Charleston County Sheriff's Deputy Joe Matuskovic was killed and another Deputy was shot and injured. Charleston County Rescue Assistant Chief Larry Britton also passed away that night from natural causes while providing support to the officers on scene.

Joe was a great friend and Officer while serving at the City of Charleston Police Department, FLETC and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office. He lived life to the fullest and always found a reason to smile.  I will never forget that smile.

Our hearts go out to everyone that was involved in the incident, especially to the families of Joe Matuskovic and Larry Britton. 
They are missed, but not forgotten...


*Due to Hurricane Irma, Joe's Hero WOD will be postponed until next week
