Being only four months into the ELITE journey with the ELITE CFW trainers and the ELITE CFW team members to the goal of ELITE fitness has been the best achievement for me in 2009. Progress is visible….. physically, mentally, emotionally. It doesn’t matter where you may be when you start..CrossFit is ‘The ELITE’ when it comes to overall fitness..

Go gettem David … your determination is the best!!

Thanks guys! Becky, I will start with a handshake then try to OHS them. If I can do that, I’ll try to TGU them!

Ok, off to bed. Need my rest, don’t want bags under my eyes.

Peace

Becky made a funny! Becky made a funny!

Good luck, David. Keep driving. Be smart. Go hard. Use your strength wisely. Go get ‘em!

David

In my experience lifting the person who interviews you is not necessarily a good way to start off – especially if you drop them. Try a handshake first.

Good Luck

If we aim low… well said Lis. I don’t know what elite really is, all I know is that for the past 4 years I’ve been setting physical goals and meeting them and because of that other areas of my life have improved. The two that I had for this past year were 5 consecutive kipping pull ups and at least 1 pull up from a dead hang. I got both. I have my sights for 2010 on:

Unassisted ring dips 2-3 of ‘em
Bench my body weight
1000 CFT

I’m taking a couple of days off; I need some rest and will see you guys on Tuesday. I’m sorry I missed the CF Football WOD today, I love the longer Sunday WOD. Damn you need for rest!

I’m starting the interview circuit tomorrow and I know I need to approach that hiring manager like I’d approach the bar with a new PR weight on it. “I will lift you.” “You will not beat me!” I may drop the weight on an attempt, but if I keep my chest up and remember form and give it my all, I will get it.
