ROUTINE IS THE ENEMY

CrossFit in 100 Words:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull ups, dips, rope climb, push ups, sit ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits and holds. Bike, run, swim, etc. hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy, keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

- Greg Glassman


CrossFit has changed my lifestyle, and I am gratful for that. I am constatnly making gains from my workouts. I am learning to be a lot more efficient on my lifts. I am learning to take care of my body and recover quicker. I am acheiving fitness heights and reaching an elite level of athletic performance.

There is something that CrossFit has that no other trainning regimen can match. CrossFit challenges your ego. It breaks you down and gives you an oportunity to bring it. There is a fire in me that gets sparked in every WOD. It is uncomfortable. You want to stop, you want to rest, you want to quit.

Every CrossFitter will learn to persevere through a workout, and the feeling of finishing is beyond words. "Get comfortable being uncomfortable."


"I have long believed that the best use of CrossFit is to acheive greater success in your sport...Others are now seeing the potential." - Brian Mackenzie.

I believe it is now time to put my CrossFit gains to test. For the next six months, I am going to be CrossFitting hard. I am going to record my workouts everyday starting August 1st. I am going to be talking about my nutrition. It will all lead up to something I have been thinking about doing for quite some time.

Details coming soon.
