The picture from Monday’s post reminded me of a video I recently watched of Chris Spealler trying to do 100 consecutive pull-ups. It’s pretty amazing. Check it out here. If you’ve done max rep pull-ups you realize just how incredible this feat is. If you haven’t go ahead and give it a try. Thinking about it motivated me …
* Last week was another great one. I’ve made the transition from shadowing coaches to training athletes on my own (although I’ll still be shadowing when I have the chance). I put my first athlete through her first three fundamentals classes and everything went great. She was a stellar performer so that made my job …
I’ve been hyping up CrossFit on here for a while now but have yet to get into another area that is just as important as exercise when talking about overall health. What you eat. So what should you be eating? Meats, vegetables, nuts & seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar. It’s that simple. This …
Greetings everyone. It’s been an exciting week for me. This past weekend I attended the CrossFit Level 1 Certification in Fort Hood, TX so now I’m officially a CrossFit trainer. It was an awesome weekend with great speakers, informative instruction, and good company. Mel Knourek & Bobby Sirkis from my box also attended the certification …

Anyways, the info he sent me specifically stated that you shouldn’t register a domain name with Crossfit until AFTER you have been …
The first time you try a Crossfit workout you will say to yourself “This is it.” You may not be as gung-ho about it as I am, but you will definitely know that there is something to this routine. You know that the workout you just did was effective, efficient (usually takes less than 30 …
I’ve told you guys about the first reason I love Crossfit – it works. Coming in at an extremely close second is the community. When you join a Crossfit gym you are also getting a new network of friends. I was at an LA Fitness for an entire year before I started Crossfit and during …
Yesterday I mentioned that some of my friends and family in Beaumont had expressed interest in the gym and said they would love to try it out whenever I open the gym. The bad news is that won’t happen for a while. The good news is that you can start now! You can do these …
This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit the family in Beaumont and had a great time relaxing with the family by the pool. It was awesome just hanging out and enjoying everyone’s company.
