Athletizens of Astoria,
It’s a three-day weekend and ‘tis the season to be triumphant and sweaty (kinda like those guys in the pic below), despite all the turmoil you’re likely reading and hearing in the news. When all else fails, sweat it out and leave it all on the rubber mats (but, wipe down). That’s your right, and no one can take that away from you. And remember, at the end of the day we always have each other to rely on for the zombie apocalypse. Just try to keep up with Lisa. 🖖
On Monday, 4th of July, we’ll be running a holiday schedule with Open Gym only from 9am-12pm.
Next, a quick message from Head Coach Hugo:
For Monday, July 4th, I will program a Hero WOD. We will be back doing Back Squats on Tuesday (8×3, 80% for those curious).
Next, a hearty welcome to our newest members, Jonathan Levine and Robert Crosby, and Happiest of Happy days to our July babies!

Coach Katie and Ralph’s competition is quickly approaching! The Battle of the Beasts competition goes from 8:45 AM – 5:00 PM EST on Sat, July 16, 2022 and will be located at LumberJack Athletics. There will be a BBQ back at Katie’s parents’ place upstate and some of us are planning on camping out and roasting smores in Katie’s yard whilst listening to her folks recount stories of how she got so wicked strong. If you’re interested in getting in on that action, click here to join the group chat!
Finally, we’re looking at temps worthy of opening up a fire hydrant for a block party this weekend (or if you didn’t have time to apply for a permit, a quick dip in the kiddie pool). Stay hydrated and train smart!
Free your mind (and body),

PS… The Biohack the World show on protein with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon last Saturday was a hit! The world is a bit safer now that we know more about amino acids and what it means for muscle, longevity, and healthspan. Click here to watch the replay!
