Two things to mention this week – first, we have our annual Christmas toy drive for the Wichita Children’s Home this month. They are an amazing organization that does a lot for children in our community. Please consider supporting them and drop off your items by Dec 20th. Note, that they are accepting a wide variety of items and not just toys. You can download their full wish list here (pdf)

Next, we are planning the gym Christmas party for Friday, Dec 20th. It’s a potluck and we’ll have a sign up for items on the whiteboard. It’s always a lot of fun so we hope you can join us.

Also, this is week two for the 5×5 strength progression. All sets are done at the same weight unless otherwise specified. Try and add 5-10 lbs from last week.
