Thursday, 09.02.10: Integrity

I'm just simply going to direct you all to this blog post from CF Invictus.  Worth a read.

Integrity.

I can tell you from experience, I have cheated reps.  I have cheated movements.  The difference is, I didn't do it on purpose.  I have lost count.  I have not gone below parallel.  But...I'll be damned if I didn't think I did.  And if I get called on it and you get a dirty look, it isn't because I'm upset with you, it's because I'm upset with myself for not doing it right and leading by example.  Remember...do it right, do it faster, do it heavier.  In that order.  No questions asked.

Tuesday, 08.31.10: Hood to Coast - The Parker Adventure

Some folks are putting together a carpool to Stockton for Saturday's Admunsen seminar.  Check in on the gym's facebook account if you are interested.

Kevin's latest adventure...ya know after traveling to Switzerland to get his CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Cert.  This time he decided to tackle the Hood to Coast relay.  Here are some of the stats.

Monday, 08.30.10: Goal Setting

One of the largest things we battle with in this gym is self perception.  Regardless of how in or out of shape a person is, everyone has self doubts.  Everyone spins their wheels once in a while trying to figure out how to get from point a to point b.  Have you noticed the goal board is still pretty empty?

A lot of the draw for this gym in particular is the family/community atmosphere.  People talk freely about some of the things they have gone through in the past, and where they want to be in the future.  We encourage it.  Once in a while, we'll take a walk with someone and have a chat about where their head is and how it got there.  It never ceases to amaze us how many people really just need someone in their life to believe in them.  We generally respond with, we believe in you, but you need to believe in yourself.  You need to know who you are and where you are going.   

That being said...What are you doing Saturday afternoon?  How about a free seminar.  F-R-E-E

Greg Admunson will be in Stockton talking about positive self talk and goal setting.  Greg is one of the OG's of Crossfit from the late 90's.  He's been doing this a while and has learned a thing or two about the mental place needed to stay in the game year after year.  I think it will be worth the gas to drive down there.  What have you got to lose?  You spent more time watching the Kardashians tonight.

Monday, 08.23.10: Kelly Starrett's new blog.

Add this one to your bookmarks folks.

Mobility Wod

Kelly Starrett is the current go-to guy for all things mobility.  If you have pain, flexibility, or plain of bad form issues, you would be well served to google Kelly's videos and engage in some serious work.  You think our stuff is tough?  Nothing compared to getting those body parts to move like they should.  Good luck...
