Day 26 of 365: Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

BEASTS

What sets CrossFit Central apart from the vast majority of other gyms is the fact that we TALK the TALK and WALK the WALK.  We practice what we preach.  We live the code! 
More specifically, I run my program, Strictly Strength, in the very same fashion.  I do all of the same SWODs that I put my athletes through.  I will not ask them to do anything that I am not willing to do myself.  Plain and simple.  
I have a duty to LEAD FROM THE FRONT, as my mentor, Zach Even-Esh puts it.

I take great honor in doing so.  
Without the willingness to suffer with your troops, you will lose respect and your integrity.  
This just can not happen!!!

So, as a practice in application, Michael Winchester and I threw down a nasty SWOD at our usual 1pm coach's hour.  
This was NO JOKE, people!!!  
Take a quick look...
