To be honest with you I had no expectations for myself. I had recently done well in a competition that required a great engine and little strength, but I needed to test myself in a setting that required the engine and the strength.

Saturday started off with a pretty simple workout that I knew our four competitors would crush. Unfortunately for us, we had the laziest bunch of judges around. Regardless of how terrible our judges were at keeping track of our reps and letting … Read More »

20 step story of a typical crossfitter

1. Hear about CrossFit through someone that is annoying and obsessed.

2. Attend a Free class…and one of two things happen – you love it & you are hooked already (skip to #6) OR…

3. Still very skeptical, go back to the couch or your regular way of training…  but…whether you like it or not, can’t stop thinking about & hearing about CrossFit and all those fit, amazing, fun people.

4. Come back again, start asking more questions & poking around at the equipment.

5. Check out some links online, one thing leads to another & hrs pass by.

6. Join … Read More »
