CrossFit Revolution

Who's got skills?

David B. Rocks out a muscle up Friday night! At CrossFit Revolution we teach you progressive skill sets that will help you become a better Crossfitter. We don't focus on specialized skills like the muscle up every day. Our focus is making you a strong, lean and neurologically superior athlete...the by product of this type of training is what you see in this photo. David is one of our most steady and dedicated Crossfitters (in addition to maintaining a demanding martial arts and high school schedule). David hasn’t attempted a muscle up in over a month...but he got strong both mentally and physically during that time...and when we revisited "30 muscle ups for time"... viola! David is just one example of the dedicated and hard working Crossfitters in our gym. Hard work, good coaching and superior attitude is what we are all about and it obviously works!

Great job Davie...keep up the good work!

Accomplishment, Effort and Pain

What’s better a strong mind or a strong body? How about both...your mental strength is every bit as important as your physical strength. Recently one of our members... “Dynamo” (aka Justin Pullaro) completed a personal record row on the C2 of 10,000 meters. That's four zero's people! How did he do it? Mentally the act was achievable due to the fact that the distance had been done previously. It didn’t mean it was going to be easy…but it was now doable. The human body is an extremely receptive instrument...it can be pushed to do amazing things… if the mind doesn’t act restrictively upon it. Just over fifty years ago many people believed you would die if you completed a sub-four minute mile. On May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister ran a sub-four minute mile...since then over 1000 people have replicated this accomplishment. The barrier was mental not physical...once the dragon was slayed... public perception changed...the act was suddenly achievable. What does this have to do with you? I challenge you to challenge yourself...try something in the gym that has never been done before. Inspire yourself to inspire others! Make the act of working-out a personal achievement...drive yourself to be a better athlete/human being mentally and physically. When people tell me something is "hard"...I tell them to try something that has never been done before! Now that’s "HARD!"

I know Dynamo may not care for the pic...but it’s important for everyone to see what pain/accomplishment looks like! If you don’t look like this after your workout...maybe it’s time to reassess the effort? Dynamo... I'm proud of you brother...keep up the good work!

Gymnastic Cert = Success

   

As many of you know CrossFit Revolution hosted the CrossFit Gymnastic Certification with Jeff Tucker from GSX Athletics this past weekend. It was an amazing learning experience that featured some great athletes. Some students hung on Tucker's every word...while others...had a more laid back attitude! We will be hosting additional certifications in order to provide our clients with the most advanced training methodology.
