Good Friday evening, #9Nation!

•If you've been struggling with hydration this summer (lets face it, we all are), try this electrolyte solution. Coach Jaqueline says good things. Water alone is not enough, and (I'll say it) sports drinks like Gatorade are NOT good sources of electrolytes!

•Listen to Ben Bergeron (a top CrossFit coach) discuss effective parenting techniques. There is plenty to learn for non-parents too! BONUS: Ben references the book Mindset. Some of our own CF9 coaches are currently reading this.

•Are you an avocado fiend like me? Give this recipe a shot! Be sure to invite me over if you do!

•Here is a helpful tip to keep in mind when performing bar muscle-ups. It is something that you may not think about, but definitely helps!

•In case you missed it! Our newest class "Elements" is up and running. All athletes will find benefit from this class. Don't put it off any longer! The exclusive members-only discount ends this Sunday (7/22).
