2019 TeamRichey Athletics Rest Day Protocol

“Plain and simple, there has to be a reason for this madness. Either you’re well aware of
the commitment it takes to succeed in this sport because you’ve done it, or witnessed it.
There are too many weeks, days, sessions, workouts, reps, sacrifices, and so on to do it
for no reason, or potentially even worse, a trivial reason. Many of us are momentarily
motivated by defeat, envy, FOMO, and Instagram followers. The moment these pursuits
fail us are the moments we need motivation the most.”
Whether your Open went how you wanted or not you always have a choice: you either
achieved your goals and are moving on to the next level, or you didn’t and have no
choice but to learn and get better.

“Whether the transition took longer than I remember, I honestly cannot say, but with this
shift in thinking our new obsession was born. The conversation seemed to instantly
change from how hard can I make this workout, to how easy can I make it.”
The evolution of our sport has introduced a whole new level of strategizing and gaming
that has pulled us away from our most foundational roots of “how hard can I really push
myself today?”. While there is a time for strategizing, many of us have forgotten what
true intensity feels like.

“The event, crowd, location, sponsors, prize purses, and overall experience will be
exponentially better than before, and all you need to do to get on board is change your
perception of what your Regional competition is. If you can do that, every point below
should light a fire under your ass and make you more excited than ever to compete.
We’re excited, and you should be, too.”

The game has changed, but our purpose and mission certainly has not. We’re still 100%
committed to pulling the very best out of each and every one of you, and hope you’re as

“If you prepare you body to move more easily and efficiently through range of motion
during your training day, there should be a lot less wear and tear on your joints and
tissues.”
Are you maximizing every minute of your time before you train? Odds are, there are a
few minutes here and there that you know could be better spent prepping your body for
movement. Small things are big things, and over time they add up to be the difference
between where you are and where you wanted to be.

When those two things align, you are quite dangerous. Let’s keep it going!
2019 Cycle 1 Retest Week is here. You all have worked extremely hard this cycle. Think back across the
last 6 weeks to all of those times you wanted to quit, but didn’t. Remember all of the things you thought
