If Its On The WhiteBoard

I think I can say with a certain air of confidence that if something is written for a workout, chances are that most folks are going to try and do it as close to what it says . . .

Defy

To defy -
1)  Openly resist or refuse to obey
2)  (of a thing) Make (an action or quality) almost impossible

Getting Prepped. . . . err. . .Pumped

There is a direct correlation between CrossFit, Olympic Lifting and Sumo wrestling - trust me, this isn't much of a stretch if you've watched a Sumo match recently. . .

To Doubt Oneself

Doubting yourself leads you down such a dismal path, think of it as walking in the street through  the pouring rain, with wet shoes, over-sized clothes, and to top it all off, a 18 wheeler splashes you with crap from a huge puddle on the side of the road. . . 

Focus

I didn't realize that it was so important to achieve my goals for such a long time, it was always important for me to enjoy what I was doing and if something happened to come about because of that, I was content.

When It Gets Rough

We all have our differences when things get rough, and it's always known that it's how you deal when things happen to go that way . . .

Disillusionment

You know that point, when everything that has gone wrong - will go wrong, and Murphy's Law decides to throw another piece of crappolla into the mix . . .

Different Levels

At any gym or workout facility, there are always different levels of individuals doing workouts.  I am always floored by the potential that every athlete shows - because to the individual it isn't about what everyone else is doing, it is about what they are doing

The Adventures of Coming Back

Leaving is hard enough, but coming back can be absolutely brutal.  Whether it's CrossFit, work, or a lifestyle that one becomes accustomed to; once it gets a shake-up, your head needs to get back in the game quickly to pick up where you left off. . . 

I Put My Chips on Black

After some thought, I figured this just might need to be said . . .
