Mobility

If  you do anything physical…walk, sit, stand…move your body at all, this website is for you.
I hear almost daily about people’s back pain, hip tightness…”I’ve got a pain in my ….(insert body part here)…”
This website addresses these issues and really, everyone should be doing these exercises. They are simple stretches, but oh so effective. I [...]

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
My hope:
1. Top 10 finish [...]

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 to [...]

Pay Now, Live later

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 as [...]

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…
