Thanks to John and Kelly of Crossfit Agoge for todays WOD

Our friend Mike visited Sin City CrossFit in Las Vegas.  Interesting comments we copied from his gym, CrossFit 324. Thanks, again, Mike for your thoughts.

“There is a difference between doing crossfit and doing crossfit just as there is a difference between doing taekwondongjo and mma. Both are martial arts but vary in their efficacy. Doing crossfit on your own or under the guise of the image crossfit represents is different than going to a hardcore affiliate and getting your nuts kicked in. Crossfit has reached critical mass and mediocrity has possibly slithered through the doors and began the process of dilution. A few affiliates have broken out as independent, gritty, dark, sinister, and made names for themselves as uncomfortable forebearers of pain. In so doing, I’m willing to bet that they are churning out better athletes than the affiliate who hand out baby bottles to the wallowers of self-pity. The bottom line is that the most effective institutions will always be found in the weeds and off the beaten path. Evolving into an assembly line may increase productivity but there is a commensurate decrease in quality.
I visited sincity crossfit tonight. There is nothing like walking into a new gym in a new city full of new people and feeling at home.
Yea diversity may be good for diversity’s sake but there is strength in homogeneity. The harder I look, the more I find.”

You are all hardcore!  Keep Killing your Coward!
