The guy is a machine. I wonder if he will do one of the easier workouts or make up a unique one to show the whole group a few exercises from each component of the whole program. Let us know what he shows you Andy - you will probably find the whole group thing a pretty easy workout.

7 years of army group pt was easy... but we had to do it all N'Sync. I just hope it doesn't run too long... it starts at 7am but i don't want to be at work later than 8am... probably have to ditch at 745 but it would still be cool to meet the guy.


Speaking of over 50, check out the masters division of the 2010 CrossFit Games. All over 50. http://games.crossfit.com/blog/2010/08/ ... event,748/
On the right side of the page is the videos from that event, check it out...

So, 7am came and went, I stayed in bed because I barely got any sleep last night so n workout with Tony Horton. Then at lunch he came by where I work for a meet and greet and to get autographed pictures and that is when I workout, so skipped that one too. Did my 3.4 mile run barefoot in 22:19. That was my first true barefoot run and it was great, I felt liked I weighed nothing and the best part was that no matter how much faster I ran I didn't get out of breath... it was odd. Running barefoot is awesome despite the large blisters on my left and right foot (balls of the feet, tips of some toes). I'll do it again once I heal up.

Do people ever blow out rotator cuffs on those things or do they work into the exercises very slowly?

If you don't keep active shoulders or let your shoulders just drop then yes, you will probably jack something up but it helps to loosen up a little before hand. I seem to have fairly flexible shoulders and can get on there and do full range skin-the-cats cold. Generally, people would either fall or let go or what have you before they attempted anything outside their range of motion or strength limits. If you're just starting you need to do progressions with a spotter though. Keep in mind that I've been toying with these moves on and off for the last year or so at home too.

But to answer your question, you have to work into these slowly. Become very proficient at each progression until you start moving to the next step. For me, I'll keep holding in that position as long as a can (also with the front lever) and when I think I can hold it with mild difficulty, Ill start slowwwwly putting my feet out for more difficulty. That isn't the best picture for form though... when you're doing any holds on the rings you have to stay tight head to toe. yes, that means pointing your toes....

Busted up the right thumb today... was doing overhead squats and finished my last set, dropped the bar to the ground and stupidly didn't let go...when it hit the ground it simultaneously shook my grip and bounced up straight into my thumb. Haven't gotten it xrayed yet but it's got all the signs of being broken. Oh well... it hurt for a bit, then swelled and numbed up, had it in a splint and on ice since lunch and can still workout with it so thats good.

trying to hold the L the whole way through... needs some practice i guess.

some pictures from today... that's a 53lb kettlebell and a 38lb vest.. you do the math. shit got heavy. and the damn vest wouldn't let my shoulder extend to where it needed to be, but it was all good.


24" box, that vest makes it feel like my first day all over again. it's the best

If the envelope isn't being pushed, there's no point. Trust me, I'm nowhere near the 'there' that I could be. Thanks though
I can do those muscle ups with the vest too... it's ridiculously hard though.

nice stuff man - i remember doing dips on the O rings - they're a very different type of workout than doing regular weighted dips (which btw I just did 4 reps of with 95lb + belt).

Tomorrow is the Florida Central Ragnar Relay Race, I'm on a team with my buds from my last unit. It's a 201 mile relay run, should be fun. I'm taking 4 legs, around 20 miles total.
http://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/florida

I'll be taking pictures and stuff. Here's a recent picture after a somewhat long workout... got my hair cut :p

162 pounds and did 275 X 6 deadlifts yesterday. But these are romanian deadlifts so may be a bit easier.

Lower abs is basically a lot of sitting/lying down and working your legs in the air, in and outs, scissors, just holding them there etc. I'm sure you can find some ideas on YouTube:

the relay was awesome, 201 miles split between 11 people in two groups. I ran my assigned legs of 7.6mi, 4.1mi, and 5.6mi. Not the longest ones ever but I never run that far. The second leg was the hardest because i was trying to make up some time and catch people (and did) but the road was soooo crappy and my lower legs were pretty wrecked after that (28:28 was the time for that one). I don't know what the time was for the other two but i know i smoked the 5.6. Can't wait to do another Ragnar Relay!! It was really awesome. Ran the whole thing in the five-fingers too, after the first leg i saw some blisters starting so i taped up and was fine after that. Also it's time for a new pair since i'm wearing through the rubber in the toe areas!
Here's a picture from when we were messin around at the finish area:
