DRS Strong Week 12- 10 things that we take pride in at DRS

“If you really want to change something, you will find a way. If you don’t you will find an excuse.”
MAX OUT WEEK was amazingly INSANE!! And we couldn’t be more proud! Every single athlete at DRS brought it!
Lets break down what happened during max out week.

Thank you for all the feedback on the DRS Strong Programming and the way you all tackled every single day of testing J

Okay, here are some fun stats for all of you
 -Monday: 40 PRs and 3 PBs (personal records and personal best)
         400m runs dramatically decreased from three weeks ago!
-Tuesday: we had 3 guys at 170lbs on strict press and one only doing the programming for 5 weeks. 3 females over 100lbs!

how about them pullups? Awesome work on those for some of you it was your first time doing unbroken pullups! And sit up challenge at 199 for both Kelly Hall and Alicia Domercq .               

-Wednesday: 5 guys over 300lbs, 1 male at 425lbs Mr. Professor and 5 ladies over 200 lbs deadlifts!!! Alejandra Sanchez with 275lb deadlift!
-Friday: Overhead squats are probably my favorite but yes very challenging strength movement. Every success is a great one no matter how small it might seem. 4 ladies that started with the PVC pipe went over 55 lbs!! Which is huge! This shows better mobility, flexibility and strength as well as balance.

These are 10 things that summed up the week.
1. You are all an example of hard work and dedication. You all show up every single class with a mindset of getting better and doing the best you can for that day.

2. Thank you for being so coachable and having a mind like a parachute, it only works when it is open J
-As coaches we couldn’t asked for a better community that is encouraging to each other and that listens and is willing to learn and better themselves

3. No egos, just hard work and consistency
-There are no shortcuts in life, everything comes with smart and hard work   

4. Team environment and support every single person maxing out
-We are all a family and we take pride on every single person that works hard and creates a positive environment

5. Thank you for letting me put you on the spotlight and take videos of you
   -We like capturing moments J

6. Keep expanding and keep getting progressively strong.
-Everything takes time to develop and building a strong foundation is what is all about

7. Learn from this experience to do better next time
-Stay hungry and always strive for more, assess what you did and didn’t do and go after it next time

8. Patience is a virtue and it all comes with being proactive
-Plan, assess, replan and execute

9. Set goals and use the tools to make them happen
 -We are here to help you reach any goals, as consistency is the key

10. Science works. 
 -Follow the plan, recover and fuel your body
 Week 13 and 14 will be focused on de-loading and doing some fun benchmark workouts to start the year back on our new percentages and next cycle! Bring on the Olympic lifts!!
Stay Strong!

DRS Strong,
Coach Rosario

DRS Strong Week 382: Do the thing you've been afraid to do!

By Rosario Aguilar • 17 Jan, 2022
Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
