The Office

The Office: becase we 'do work' here.


I understand that I am different yet will be given no special treatment here.
I will go through hell, and there will be no excuses, no turning back once I walk through these doors.
If I vomit, that is no excuse to stop my workout. I will get back up again …and again.
I will lift heavy and break records.
If it’s easy, I will go heavier.
I understand that this is a battle, I am here to dominate, nothing less. Sitting down … lying down … these are not options.
I will earn my respect by getting bigger, stronger, faster & mentally tougher.
I will outwork my opponents and do the extra work that no one ever told me to do.
I will train with fire in my eyes.
I will not back down!

Damn Double Unders!

Today was a great day for some CrossFit, two of the newer fellas, Hoover and Noah, showed up to do a WOD with me.
Earlier in the day I did day 2 of my "quick lifts" program. Worked on some front squats, good mornings, bench press and muscle ups.
Tried to match my PR (personal record) of 205x3 on the front squat, but failed on the 3rd rep. So onto the workout with noah and hoover.

First we worked on squat technique, cause you can never have a perfect squat. Next noah and hoover worked on their kipping pullup which went pretty well. Then we worked on jumpin rope and doing some double unders. Noah can jump rope fine so he worked on tryin a few doulbe unders and quickly noticed how rough they are. Hoover is still workin on his jump rope skills, which is fine. The beauty of crossfit is that everything is scalable to any level... so during the workout double unders were prescribed, and noah mixed a few in with his reps of singles, and hoover just worked on singles.
Then we jogged 800meters and followed by working on deadlift technique.
