Finally took a rest day since I was completely exhausted after work. Taking some time to take in the Crossfit games today, go to games.crossfit.com and check out the live feed. It’s weird to see these people swimming, but I think it’s a great addition to the skill set testing after all, a true mega [...]

I hesitate to call myself a crossfitter, since although I can functionally do all the exercises, I don’t attend a crossfit box and due to lingering weaknesses from my past avoid some of the Olympic lifts like the plague. It would not be appropriate to claim myself as a crossfitter because I think a great [...]

Surprise! When I took a look at my schedule I realized it was time for rest week again since I am already done 7 weeks of my superhybrid. I have to admit though I was so put off by the I:A that I have not done a single Insanity:Asylum workout since I started this new [...]

It’s funny how a little thing like a new heart rate monitor can affect your whole attitude and approach to your workouts. At some time we are all guilty of getting in a rut and forgetting that topping up your motivation is as important as topping your salad with avocado. Also, rewards play a really [...]

  <– You don’t need to qualify to wear this… and what’s he smiling about? He obviously didn’t just finish Chelsea or death by pullups. I read on Fitbomb this morning that Reebok have come out with a line of Crossfit wear which is “specifically designed” for the crossfit athlete. I suppose they are assuming [...]

It’s been hot, I know, I keep saying that but last night was so hot they cancelled training at gymnastics. Probably wise, it was a real scorcher! So I was left to ponder what to do, luckily though I have a plan so I pulled up the schedule and got to work. I was scheduled [...]

Another boiler of a day today, especially given I am indoors but right next to the walkout basement french doors and doing wallball shots out on the deck in the evening sun. I am enjoying this workout I have to admit, like Tony says it’s good old fashioned weight training. The good news is that [...]

It was 40 degrees today with the humidity, and Wednesday and Thursday are supposed to be even hotter with a humidex of 46 on Thursday, that’s 115 degrees for those still stuck in the 70′s. That means today was a hot one in the gym and at these temperatures you really have to be careful [...]

I just realized that through the evolution of my workouts from my first days with Tony to my divorcing ShaunT, albeit temporarily, I have stuck to one notion when it comes to the Pure Cardio workout. After typing the entry heading I thought it looked familiar so I went back and checked. I already have [...]

Chest, shoulders and tris again last night and I decided to sub some wallball shots instead of some of the more useless shoulder pieces but at several points during the workout I found myself truly struggling. I realize I am not quite recovered after the weekend, my sleep is not great because of my painful [...]
