What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

CrossFit Strong (Dallas)









WOW ... what a weekend!!! Headed down to Dallas on Friday to visit a friend - Casey Howell - and he got in his 1st ever CF WOD with CrossFit Strong down in Farmer's Branch (Dallas).

Gale Yocom (seen left of the first photo) of CrossFit Strong pushed the Team WOD that included Rope Climbs, Wall Ball, Tire Flips, Reverse Ball Slams and Rowing. You can immediately tell Gale runs a solid affiliate with some pretty close members. They hung out after their workout and I was able to a picture with them after the intro class completed (see last photo). Gale opened his gym so I can observe his classes and get a WOD in and I am greatly appreciative of his generosity.

I will have to apologize though since I did break one of their pull-up racks. I was trying to get through the last round of pull ups and broke a support ... sorry Gale!

100 Day Burpee Challenge:
Day 50:
Burpees To Date: 1,275
Burpees Remaining: 3,775
HALF WAY THERE ... IN DAYS THAT IS!!!!

Today's WOD:
Five Rounds for Time:

For those of you who are competing in the Regional Games. Bring your chest to the bar on every pull up! Don't cheat yourself.

Post your times in the "Comments" ... that means you too Steve!!!

19:31 with some sore hands to prove it! Due to equipment location, this more like Run 440 meters walk 20 seconds to the pull up rack, do pull ups and then walk 20 seconds back to track.
