Cool Crossfit Coaching from Kevin…haha. He used the iPad to take a video of my clean squat and pointed out the little things I was doing wrong. It makes a big difference when you can see yourself. The very next clean squat was a lot better. I stayed at 115# to practice a bit on technique.
Gabrielle
Congratulations on doing your first WOD with unassisted pullups Trent! That’s fantastic 🙂
Steph G
Good Job!!!
Gabrielle
Happy birthday Tom 🙂 I hope you have a fantastic day and get spoiled lots by your loved ones!

Kevin? You starting a planking trend?

Too much ‘The Office’ for you! 😉

Thanks for the B-day wishes, sorry for the B-day Burpees. Great job getting them completed though teammates, 52 burpees for beakfast is not a usuaul breakfast. To all the cross fitters, thanks for making me feel welcome to the gym, your kindness and encouragement is appreciated.
I am still pumped at achieving me B-day goal this morning; “beat my age with non-stop push-ups”. I was able to complete 54 !, plus a few that i did not count as i did not go down to floor level.
I just want to say thanks to Julie and Kat at Advanced because 3 months ago i had a severe shoulder/neck injury and my side was useless and i thought this type of exercise was done for me. Right now it feels better than ever so thanks again for your work.
Also thanks to Kevin for all the little pointers each day, much appreciated.
Tom
Nice work on the Push-ups – that is a really awesome score!!!! I could hardly believe when I looked on the board and saw that this morning: “52 burpees” (ack-gag)!!!! I’ll make sure Kat and Julie at Advanced Health see this nice post of yours!!! Thanks 🙂

Well I don’t know if it’s the peppermint mocha, the stress or taking two rest days but this one felt like everything was going in slow motion. Haven’t felt like this in a long time. I was actually sore to Sunday after sat WOD…can’t remember the last time that happen. Woke up many times in the night after having a few bday reward treats.. Haha. That makes me laugh just the way I’m writing this it’s like I’m justifing the indulges in my head. Just to clarify everything I’m still fallowing the diet, except for last Saturday and the Daily mocha. I can now confidently say it’s true :”you R what u eat!!” so it’s back to regular coffee tomorrow…after all positive changes should be adapted to our living habits 😉
