The second piece of advice comes from Skip Chase of Mt. Baker CrossFit.  This was posted on FaceBook yesterday.  Skip was one of the first CrossFit affiliates and is on a mission.  His brother passed away in his early forties due to poor health: diabetes.  Skip’s mission is to help everyone he can, knowing that eating right and being fit leads to good health and quality of life:

“A Coach is not your brother, not your friend, not your cheerleader, not your bud, not your daddy. The Coach pushes you beyond your wildest imagination of accomplishing what you never considered accomplishing. The Coach drives you beyond your negative self talk that is telling you, you can’t do it…you have to stop, you can’t go on; but you do, because the Coach drives you through it, in spite of yourself.”

Thanks, Skip.  Good, honest, and true words.  Want us to leave you alone and let you suffer silently through the workout?  We could do that, but we wouldn’t be giving you our best.  And you wouldn’t be nearing  your potential and giving one hundred percent.  Each of you is more capable than you think.

If you get upset when we push you for one more rep, for form that is one step closer to perfection, or ask you to work your weakness, get over yourself and ask why you are in the gym.  Are you seeking comfort?  Mediocrity?  Good enough?  Nope, that’s not why you’re here.  Face it.  What we do in the gym is too hard to just show up and be average.  You seek a limit, a feeling, a chemical rush.  Whatever it is, we help you get there because we see what you can’t.  Don’t misunderstand.  Not all days are PR days and we see that as well.

Find what you seek.  Kill your Coward.IMG_6487

Fight Gone Bad

One minute at each station, followed by one minute rest: three rounds.

Wall ball, Sumo deadlift high pull, Box jump, push press, and row.

Score is total reps.  Did you miss today?  What is your reason for missing?  Did you choose to miss the workout or did life get in the way?  IMG_6492

What not to do.  Take care of your hands, PERIOD.  When this happens it sets back your training.  So, in conclusion…DON’T DO THIS!
