Hey im finding out a few of you guys have your won blogs.. We would love to read them please post on here if you have your own blog..
OK True Story…driving home from Yoga class tonight thinking how lucky I am to be part of the CF Family. Really, Deb M thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To All,
Think well and you will do well.
Think ill and you will do ill.
It’s all in you mind and thoughts.

I’d also like to give some big thanks to Deb M. The Simply Grazin Organic Meat delivery finally arrived today, and Deb M. showed up to help me split up the meat into all the coolers. It was very welcomed help, and she accepted my thanks with pure grace.
And not for nothing, she’s not too far away from a muscle up on the rings!
Lucy, what an amazing yoga class. It was the most challenging class and yet I left there feeling completely refreshed. You are an amazing spirit and have truly met your calling by teaching yoga. Plus I get to see Nick do Warrior II, Ahh dreamy! but shhhh! don’t tell Kenia.
Tina, Thanks for pushing me today and helping me increase my weight on the TGUs!!!!!
Here’s my blog folks (Nothing out of this world) but I do love to mention CrossFit!!!!:

Stef your blog is amaizing!!
who knew your english was so good!
Steve, Not too bad for a Cuban Puerto Rican raised in Washington Heights. Perhaps it was moving to Bergen County at the tender age of 11 that saved me. hehe!!
Love, Love Love the blog Stef.
Katie, thanks for making me do the sprints and runs today. I know I said I hated you about 15 -20 times and I am pretty sure… in fact I know I meant every single one I said but you got me to them, sure you threatened me with physical violence if I did not complete them to your standards but the truth is is that I wouldn’t have done them without you!!! I dont look forward to the other mini wods you have waiting for me this week.
GO FLO!!!!!
Yogi Spyder,
Your ability to do and hold each yoga move is awe inspiring! There were several times in which I fell over tonight due to taking a quick glimps (aka staring) at you in the mirror.
Now if we can only get Hockey Chris to join Lucy’s yoga class my life would be complete…. wait did I just say that???
WOOHOOO!!! I CAN QUIT CROSSFIT NOW!!!

I hope the link works.
Kenia,
Hockey Chris does not possess those manly yoga skills that i have, he is just a boy. haha
Sorry, i didnt catch you in your Warrior Pose today, I was too busy staring at Katies Warrior pose. Truley Remarkable. …..did i just say that?
Wow I may actually have to do a yoga class again.
I think we can all agree that we seriously love this guy:

NIck dont be jealous because i complete kenia. I am just more youthful than you
Brad that TGU was amazing. I’ve seen a few lame attempts at that weight on youtube. Yours was flawless. I seriously cannot believe that you made that weight look that easy. AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks Vic!!
It was requested I get this on Youtube… here is a different version that has different music so it wouldn’t get disabled.

Being almost as awesome as Randy is pretty much the biggest compliment anyone has ever given me in my entire life !!
ouch my paws
I can imagine… this looks like a real test of grip strength…
Bad Brad: the tgu is amazing. Probably one of the best I have seen on the internet. Very clean technique.
Stef: the celebration dance just completes the video. It is kind of like the cherry on top.
Today I winked at the beast. She ignored me, so I swung one of her little sisters during the wod, 80 lb.
This relationship is going to be touch and go for a while.
lol i didnt post that!!! randy has been hopping onmy log in again
i love you both the same you each have qualities i wish i posessed
todays wod was a challengeon the grip
i got 9 1/3 rounds.. not to bad
WHEN YOU ARE SWINGING THE BEAST!!!!
A friendly reminder..
If you get a friend to join and commit to 3 months you get a free month!
Get into it!..
HAHAHAHAHAH…..Poor Brad actually believed he was as cool Randy, too funny.
Bad brad
your a stellar athlete.. noone has the paitience for alift like you..
i use you as an example all the time..
take your time with your lift.. get the form, do like bad brad add 5lbs a week.. in not time you have the most stable looking 405lb deadlift and 135lb tgu of anyone ive ever seen..
kudos
Bad Brad: I was kidding. You are an awesome dude. I think we should stop calling you Bad Brad and start calling you “old school strong man ridiculous turkish get up Brad” or OSSMRTGUB.
This was one the affiliate blog today, thought it was interesting and awesome! can anyone guess why?
“”CrossFit coaches and athletes who understand that optimism and a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE can yield tremendous results in the gym have one thing in common: success. The athletes are performing at the top of their game, and the coaches are surrounded by thriving clients.” Greg Amundson
Steve,
Please see post number 4. I’m 33 Steps ahead of you.
Brad-Ass,
Where is the Brossfit Video? That happens to be my favortite.
Spyder
Steve and Tina built Ignite to such a degree that I’m only NEARLY as cool as every single other person at Ignite.
It’s that combined coolness that enables me… to be OSSMRTGUB
Or… is it… RMSB ?
hahaha Bossfit!!!! hahahaha

Love me some Bossfit Crossfit.
So Steve loves Brad’s tgu skill and patience. I bet Steve admires my mad zombie drawing skills.
this is true… between randy JR and Deb M ,., i feel like the zombie will slowly become our new mascot…
Randy,
My relationship with the beast is quite different.
She is a tease and constantly leaves me feeling “blue” and angry.
I am going to have to play with her sister “96lber” and make her jealous till she caves in.
I can’t bare to watch any more videos of me failing to do the beast…makes me sick.
Brad, you are an animal and it really would not shock me to hear that you were knawing on your frozen beef on the car ride home last night.
I can’t wait to get the beast done so i can play with the barbell TGU’s.
P.S. what sane human being deadlifts there boss at work or does TGU with a Folding table at work? hahah
CFI, that’s what we do!
WOD2 (from the CFE site): 5 x 800M @ 5k pace (7 min mile; 3:30/800M) with same time rest between sets.
Exhausted.
nb
neil.. i never ate chilly before.. **hint**
Nick C and Mark L
I had a sighting of “the birds nest killer” from the pizza eatting contest this afternoon in westwood..
he gave me a croocked smile with a side stare..
Nick,
I was in fact able to contain myself until I got home. But as soon as I walked in the door I unwrapped a rib-eye, put it in a waterproof ziploc plastic bag, and put that in warm water. I had it defrosted and perfectly grilled (I have video!!) about 1.5 hrs later. It was super delicious!
by the way I SWUNG THE BEAST the entire 20 min… hello!!??
lol
The beast for men is 88 pounds?
Kenia,
No need to thank me for yesterday. I took sick pleasure in hearing every “I hate you”. The more you bitched and moaned, the more miserable I knew you were and thus, the more enthralled my sadistic side was. Can’t wait to torture you tomorrow
And Nick,
Shame on your ass for trying to make your crossfit wifey jealous using me! Good thing everyone knows you weren’t staring at my warrior two pose since we all know I was probably taking a personal break during yoga.
And Lucy,
Thank you so much for the yoga class. That was incredibly hard for me to do so I know its something I need to do to challenge myself. Thanks for pushing me like always
To clarify, I meant that yoga is hard because I’m so not flexible and its something I know I need to work on. I really appreciated you inviting us to your class because I would never stretch like that on my own. I need someone to coach me through because yoga challenges all my weak points and it was so great to have you guide me and push me to do something I might not normally try because its not as easy for me as running.
My body felt great after class!
beast is 105# !!!
Did anyone else do a heavy KB swing beside me and the Cheese?
First, I cleaned my grill to prepare for the meat. My heart rate was up around 140 as I was nervous about drying it out. I put a little bit of Quebec steak seasoning from Fairway. Heated the grill up hot just to finish the clean job, then seared one side of rubbed beef. I turned it low for the next 10 minutes or so, flipped it.
Perfectly cooked. Had with some carmelized mushrooms and red onion. We cooked the ribeye, strip steak and a tenderloin (the best).
Absolute perfection. I am very pleased.
So Steve, you were basically swinging Tina in the WOD today? Nice
Katie too funny lol
Made chili last night by cooking some veggies in the rendered fat of the ground beef and adding beans and tomatoes. Spices too. Like Vic, very satisfied.
Nice, love hearing feedback about the BEEF!!
Steve. Awesome job on SWINGING THE BEAST!!!!
I may have swung the beast as well. Not 9 1/2 rounds, though.
By the way, since people are linking to blogs, you are invited to check out http://www.wayfor.org. This is my graduate thesis project and my next career (i hope). Anyway, there is a 3 minute video on the home page that explains what it is and how it works.
By the way, Brad. I’ve never seen anything as amazing and upsetting as the 135 TGU. It looks like a hollywood special effect in the video.
Thanks Greg! and sorry? hah. You have what it takes to get it too though… I know it. You hammered out the beast already, didn’t you? I think I was there.. I have picture proof actually.
And by the way to you too Greg… Your website is fantastic. I can easily see the utterly HUGE potential it has. I truly hope you can turn it into a lifelong career for yourself. But it’s not just for yourself, is it?
Site has a great Web 2.0 look and feel as well.
I like the site Greg
Can I dance in everyone’s video?
Stef, I totally need more video’s of you dancing to put at the end of everything.
