12 May 2009Whats the difference?
I want to shift gears from the last couple posts and talk not about what goes into making great fitness but what is already on the inside. In case you haven’t noticed, the guys that are at the top of the field in Crossfit are pretty consistent. (speal, Manimal, Thiel, OPT…) [...]

Athletic vs Fit
In: Blog
5 May 2009The Crossfit Community is full of self proclaimed athletes. I have a bit of a problem with this. I have grown up playing sports and trained with some true athletes. They come in all shapes and sizes but have a couple things in common. They easily adapt to new skills and learn movements very well. [...]

Bad workout…
In: Blog
29 Apr 2009I thought for a bit about posting these workouts. I wanted to make up my own “bad” workout so nobody got the blame but these were just too unforgiving. It is also nice because they include the warm up and cool down. Let it be understood that i am completely in line [...]

In: Blog
28 Apr 2009Wes had a great idea. He asked me to take a couple workouts, one “good” one “bad” and analyze them.

Thrusters Suck!! but…
In: Blog
14 Apr 2009Thrusters are great.
I have been Crossfitting for the last 4 years. For Crossfit i am a veteran. Something i have just recently decided is that thrusters are great. If your goal is fitness, Thrusters are great. I am going to say something really bold but i will stand behind it 100%. [...]
