Central Coast Clash 2010

These are the workouts I’ll be competing in tomorrow. Should be pretty awesome. I haven’t be doing anything special to prepare except relying on the top notch programming of my coach and a bit of watching my diet. My priorities for tomorrow: 1. Have fun 2. Smile while working out 3. PR at least once [...]

Product Review: Pumice Sponge

Crossfit and Calluses, they are like peanut butter and jelly. You probably won’t find a crossfit athlete without them. One of the hazards of having them is having them rip during a workout. Usually it’s about the 80th pull up that it happens for many people. I know. Ridiculous. Maintainance of your hands is crucial [...]

Pay Now, Live later

I get asked a lot about Crossfit. I have no problem sharing my passion for the program and talking about why it’s so great for everyone. Then comes the question about money. How much does it cost? I really want to say, “It costs you your life.” I know that probably wouldn’t go over well, [...]

The Will to Survive

Crossfit Games 2010 – World’s Fittest For me the Crossfit Games is something that is now on my calendar, so to speak. There really is no decision whether or not I’ll go.

This is late. Way late. I would rather do a good job and be late, I guess. My biggest boy “graduated” from 8th grade. It sticks in my throat a bit to use the word graduation anywhere other than from high school. I truly cannot stand Kindergarten graduations and 8th grade seems a little contrived [...]

What motivates us?

Better get a bigger goal.

Yep. I did it. I just hopped up there, made sure no one was looking. Ya know, too much pressure. Davis saw, though. He can confirm the truth of the matter. I completed 3 strict pull ups! Amazing what some focused, concentrated training can do. Now what? Handstand push ups? Muscle up? Hmmm… Quizzes by [...]

Grammar Police

Ok, I’ve had it with this one. It was even in “Eclipse” and seriously people, can we get this straight? When you REALLLLLLY don’t care about something you should say: “I COULDN’T care less.” Get it? What do most people say? “I could care less” This means, I don’t care that much and could possibly [...]
