“Most of the problems with the bodies and minds of the folks occupying the current culture involve an unwillingness to do anything hard, or anything that they’d rather not do. I applaud your resolve, and I welcome you to the community of people who have decided that EASY will no longer suffice”. – Mark Rippetoe

Listen up everybody! We are 99.9% done with setting up our online scheduling for the gym. Stay tuned for details and instructions! 

WOD

Main Site rest day! Even though we post here it’s a rest day there is no escaping the WOD. Come in and have some fun or do work on a particular skill or lift.

Going For It

Those 3 words pretty much sum up how CrossFitter’s feel even when they see a ridiculous, painful and scary WOD. You really just have to go for it. Close your eyes and get ready for the ride. You may have doubts in your head like Can I pick this 300# Barbell up?  Can I do 100 pull-ups? Can I even last 20 minutes? Trust me, all those things have gone through my head in the past. It may seem impossible, but you you can do it. Everyone in the gym is capable of far beyond what their mind tells them and many of us surprise ourselves on a daily basis.  How would we grow as an athlete, a mom, dad or simply just, a stronger person if we did not take risks? If we stayed in our comfort zone while working out would you show improvement? Sure, but if you dive in full steam ahead, I guarantee the results are even greater. 

So what am I trying to say here? Just GO FOR IT, lock away those doubts, and get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

The two photos are of Scott and Christian Going For max weighted Pull-ups. That is a 20# vest and a 44# KB with Scott, and a Sandbag around Christian’s waist. Fun stuff!
