Monday, June 9, 2008


Barbell complex
6X - DL+P.clean+F.squat+P.press+B.squat+P.Jerk

The 95lbs felt heavy but finished Rx'D

3 Rounds
6 - pullups
6 - pushups
6 - push press (sandbag)

Don't know my time but completed Rx'd

What does Rx'd mean? That you preform exactly what the workout is. The awesome thing about Crossfit is that everything is scalable to the level of the athlete the goal is to Rx all workouts but most athletes take time to build up to a CrossFit WOD.

No training this weekend it was all about Brianne and David's "BIG DAY"

HOW TO "FLIP A FRIEND"


Thanks to Jordan for this gem who got it from Crossfit Unlimited.

***

HOW TO "FLIP A FRIEND"

So you have a friend who is way into the bodybuilding style of working out. You really want him/her to see the light and start CrossFitting. He/she is not ready to give up the Bi's/Tri's day or spending 30 minutes of quality time on the elliptical. Don't worry! I will give you the perfect way to "flip" him/her. First you need to remember this takes time. It's very hard for him/her to accept that the last 7 years of working out to "be fit" have for the most part been a waste of time. There are 5 stages the recruitee must go through.

1. Denial - This usually comes out in some sort of excuse. Ex - "I don't want to lose size" , "You guys never hit arms" The response to this should be "I'm not asking you to give up your routine just give it a try once, when you're ready of course."

2. 1st WOD - This a a step in the right direction. It never fails they love it but don't want to sound too hyped. Tell them they did great and should do this a couple times a week for a month to see "some gains".

3. Cherry Pickin with isolation days - They pick and choose a WOD a couple times a week and still hit up arms and chest on the other days.

4. Cherry Pickin no more isolation - This is usually about 3 months after 1st WOD. They understand and accept the isolation crap is waste of time for their goals but hate running or certain movements because they're hard. So they'll do Cindy twice a week and fight gone bad twice a week and maybe fran so they can have a "fran time"

5. Full on CrossFitter - They finally try following only posted WOD for 1 month and see tremendous results. It's done...another lifetime crossfitter is born.

This process takes up to 6 months for some long time gym rats. Let it play out! Don't pressure them. Just plant CrossFit seeds..."You'll love this stuff" "You should workout with me today" "Let's do a crossfit workout one day when you're ready".

Whatever you do don't start bagging on their one arm dumbbell curls. There are some people out there who know a good thing when they see it and are flipped from day 1, but that's rare. Have fun with this and see how many you can flip...HAHAHAHAHA(evil cult like laughing tone).

*that is Izzi-B my Whippet in the picture above she is the ultimate x-fitter:)

Lululemon Photo shoot!




Today was my photo shoot for Lululemon. The photographer, Robin was awesome so she made it easy and a lot of fun! The rain held off and I think we got some good shots. We were at Marine Park in Burnaby which is right across from Deep Cove where I was born and raised. They took shots of me doing a few kicks, KB stuff, handstands and push ups by the water on 2 old dock posts. Now it's up to Lulu to chose the photo they like for the poster that will go in the Metrotown store, hopefully it's a good one and not just one that shows their logo:)
