This week has done a pretty good job of crushing people! I think we’ve all just hit it really hard since the gym wall was knocked down. Either way, the folks who showed up today pushed hard!
Tonight’s workout was a good one. Running. Double-Unders. Thrusters. That was it.
Talk about head-to-head competition!
Great job for you guys who fought the urge to rest during that last round. It was pretty incredible to see your finishes!
Workout of the Day:
3 Rounds for Time-
Run 200m / 50 Double-Unders / 25 Thrusters

I came across this video tonight, and instantly thought of the one and only Dru-Tang.
This video is for you, buddy. Enjoy.
Remember, I post a lot of these videos for a reason! Yes, they’re very cool to watch, but the primary reason is to show what CrossFit can help athletes accomplish. By using CrossFit to improve your OVERALL fitness, not just specializing in one area, you can become bigger, faster, stronger, more coordinated, increase your endurance and flexibility and more… at the same time.
Whether your goal is to be able to make the starting line of a sports team, to carry groceries into your house or apartment with greater ease, or just to work some activity into your day, this training helps. Most of you already know that, though 🙂
Oh, by the way… don’t try this stuff at home.

Many of us sit in our own worlds, thinking that we have little to no impact on those around us.
I am writing this post to let you all know that whether or not you choose to accept it, you are an inspiration to someone. Your actions have an impact on more people around you than you know or realize. Most importantly, you can lead by example in every aspect of your life, while constantly exceeding even your own expectations in the process.
Dare to be great. In everything you do. Set goals that you feel are just out of reach, put in the time and effort necessary to achieve them, and go for them. You are so much more capable than you think. I have faith in you. Why wouldn’t you have faith in yourself?
2011 CrossFit Games: Possible Movements?

Hey guys and gals….
Over the next few years, I’m pretty confident saying that things are going to get real. Something tells me Ring Handstand Push-Ups were just the beginning!
In the words of Wayne and Garth:
“Game On!!!”
The Numbers: 3/9/11

Today was another installment of “Weakness Wednesday” at the gym. Most people, to my surprise, chose to work on Handstand Push-Ups and Pull-Ups. After we spent about half of the class on those movements, we moved onto the workout.
It was a pretty simple triplet that was centered around fixed time intervals. That meant athletes were to complete 10 repititions each of Wall Ball Tosses, Box Jumps and Push-Ups in 90 seconds. If time remained during the 90 seconds, it was used for rest before starting the next round! If a complete round of all 30 reps was not completed, athletes were still to finish that round, and rest for the remainder of the next one.
Basically, if you moved through all 10 rounds in under 90 seconds each, you were done fastest. If you missed one round, you would finish the 10 completed rounds of your workout 90 seconds later, and so on. This one started to get to people around the 6-8 minute mark. Great effort today, everyone!
Workout of the Day:
Complete 10 rounds of 90 seconds each of-
10 Wall Ball Tosses / 10 Box Jumps / 10 Push-Ups

YESS!!! Orion just put up the video of him and Greg tearing down the wall to double the space of CrossFit Lakewood!! This is so cool. I’m frustrated I wasn’t in town for this demo, I would have been right there next to you guys!
If you haven’t seen my post, complete with a tour of the space around 6 months ago, and just this past weekend after the renovation, click here to see it.
Way to go, guys! The space looks AMAZING! 🙂

Is the Charlie Sheen stuff in the news just outrageous? Yes.
Are the American people focusing on a literally insane celebrity more than important world issues? Yes.
Should “we” probably spend more time trying to improve our own quality of life? Yes.
Did I already buy a Charlie Sheen CrossFit T-shirt? Yes.
Did the Schmoyoho folks crush another “songification” of a real-life situation? (Just like Double Rainbow and Bed Intruder)? Yes.
Watch if you want. If you don’t want to, don’t watch it.
Either way, you’re winning. It’s sort of a Bi-Winning situation we’ve got going on.
2011 CrossFit Games: What are the CrossFit Games?

If you don’t know… now you know! 🙂
The first night in the new-and-improved CrossFit Lakewood was a huge success! The 6:00pm class had 12 people, so it was a full house. Just watching the athletes circle up to start our mobility and warm-up work was inspiring. So many of you are coming through and improving your fitness and strengthening our family. Thank you all! Great job to Mr. Pete for leading the team through some Jumping Jacks 🙂
Our workout for tonight was posted on the CrossFit.com main site back on the 20th of February. It was a simple “couplet” consisting of Walking Lunges (with weight overhead) and Burpees. Sounds simple, right? Well, by now, we all know the ones that look “ok” are usually some of the hardest ones!
If I saw these monster athletes walking at me with weights above their head, I’d probably run the other way! Regardless, check out some clips from our workout tonight.
Workout of the Day:
5 Rounds for Time-
50ft Walking Lunge (weight overhead) / 21 Burpees
Two of CFLW’s Firebreathers finishing up tonight’s workout… note: Greg’s battle cry. It’s when you know he’s really pushing himself!
