Next Level Performance is located in Lake Forest, CA. We use many of the CrossFit philosophies to develop true fitness. We are an athletic development and conditioning facility training anyone searching for more out of their fitness program. We use kettlebells, olympic lifting, running, dumbbells, rowing and bodyweight movements to help develop your athletic potential and give you results. Our workouts are constantly varied, involving functional movements and executed at a high intensity. The result is a stimulus that is broad, general, and inclusive. We seek to create universal athletes capable of performing many tasks well. One of our baseline principles is that routines are our enemy and machines are for assembly lines.
(Read more)
Our functional movements are truly just that....functional. The basic movement you do or should do on a daily basis are incorporated in the program. They involve multi-joint and multi-muscle which create a neuro-endocrine response. This response enhances the benefits of the training. Each movement is safe, effective, and they radiate from core to extremity. Once our athletes can perform each movement safely, then and only then are they ready for the high intensity.
What does high intensity mean to you?
Every one's intensity will differ depending on fitness level and goals desired. Generally,we define intensity as being are able to move large objects, over long distances, and quickly. Intensity is Power. (I= Power= Force x Distance/ Time)
Our method of training creates results that are measurable, observable, and repeatable. We strive to always improve our program based on the feedback and results it creates. We are an evidence based fitness program that is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed.
Welcome!

When to eat, what to eat, why does my poop look like that? These are all questions you should know the answers to. To help educate ourselves we will be showing a series of videos on Nutrition at the gym. We will start next Thursday March 18th @ 7:30pm. We just got dunked and if you entered the paleo challenge or if performance gains are important to you then you need to be educated. Just because you think you know how and what to eat does not mean the lessons stops there. We need to understand the dynamics of how the body processes, uses and eliminates the food you consume. This is Free of charge but full of vital information. Attend if you want RESULTS!!!!

"Today is another great opportunity to train hard and have control over the results. Many of us love the idea of working out hard but when we see a "hard" or "challenging" workout we get intimidated. Why not welcome the opportunity and use this as a chance to push yourself past your perceived limitations." -L

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY!!!
Warmup
JM/ Samson Stretch 3 x 3
running drills
CrossFit NLP
"Training Day"
Back Squats
build to 1rm max; then use 70% for 20 reps
*you will have to work for these 20 reps. Use of proper breathing techniques and form will be critical to the completion of this training session.
Announcements:
- Get dunked and the start of the Paleo Challenge is on March 10th. Be sure to reserve your spot.
- What is a Training Day: these are days that you really should be focused on an inward challenge and drive yourself to better understand the movements and push for new personal achievements. On a training day it will still be super challenging but the anxiety and atmosphere of competition is secondary. If you view CrossFit as your sport than some days must fall into this category or you will burn out trying to compete everyday. Even professional athletes have in-season and pre-season and during in-season every workout is not a full out game. They are training the pieces to the puzzle in order to perform better during the game.
-
Here is a great video I we found on Nathan Holiday's blog. (click here) This video shows a great way to analyze your lifts and to see what happens when the bar deviates from its ideal path or if the weight is slightly shifted the wrong way.
"I want snatch!"
- Lenka (referring to getting a snatch instead of a power snatch)
The Smith brothers went head to head in our broad jump competition.....can you guess who won???
