ENERGY

It's been a while so I thought I better catch up. This week has been an extremely busy week, but it has also been very beneficial in many ways. All of the classes that I coach are now nearing full capacity!!! The 530am class at RunTex(pictured above)has gone from 2 to 15(not all shown)in about a month and a half! Crazy!!! I must say that the energy in the class has exploded, and people are coming to "kill it" each and every morning!!!

The classes in the evenings are also makin' things happen. PR's are falling from the sky...Including some PR's of my own.

Recently, I set a new 3-rep Back Squat record of 345#...and on Wednesday of this week, I pulled a 450# Deadlift, which crushed my old PR of 435#!

All of that being said, I can't stress this enough:

Intense, Positive Energy is Everything!!!!

If you're lookin' to make change in any aspect of your life...find that intense, positive energy and things will flow.

GETTING THE URGE

I will preface the video below with this:

In order to make the move to ATX a possibility, I made the decision to sell my 2008 Harley Nightster(same as above). Now, I am finding it difficult to live without the thrill of riding. As much as it probably scares my mom and Crystal to hear this, I am getting that urge again, and this H-D ad didn't help. Watch and you will understand.

Ben and Elliot, Enjoy!

I am strong and focused.

I have prepared my body and mind for the HARD ROUTINE!

I will step on to a battlefield with many opponents.

They will do what they have to...so must I.

My mind and body have made a strong alliance to create an unbreakable force.

I am David.

There are many Goliaths.

I AM A GIANT-SLAYER

ROCKSTARS!!!

I AM CROSSFIT!

This Saturday was the "I AM CROSSFIT - E.P.O.C." workout finale. It was an electric environment for 4 hours straight!!! Everyone was fired up to show what changes they have made in their lives and performance capacities...the performances and efforts did not disappoint.
Everyone that I had the pleasure to coach during the finale was awesome. I demanded a lot from everyone, and every person stepped up to the challenge! Once every "I AM'er" hit the WOD, the coaches got their chance to show how they had improved over the past 8 weeks. This was the result of the STORM.

I am absolutely confident, given the studs that hit this with me and the result...and my own personal energy, that I am ready for CST sectionals! Bring on the HARD ROUTINE!!!

Think You're Hardcore?!

WATCH THIS!!!
