Last Man Standing.

FANTASTIC story: Chuck got a little careless on Saturday night and took a fall down the last four stairs in his house. He hit a couple of walls but never left his feet!! Frankly, that would be almost impossible for a sedentary 77 year old. But Chuck isn't sedentary. He puts his time in; squats, deadlifts, and WOD's. And he'll be the first to tell you that's why he was upright at the bottom of those stairs. It's all about the strength, folks. (It's also a tremendous honor to make such incredible … [Read more...] about Last Man Standing.

You Don’t Know Jack!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqEi9OaH_Mo]"CrossFit is only for really fit people. I could never do that." Really? Tell it to Jack. He's 73 years young and he's just as much a CrossFitter as 2012 CrossFit Games champ Rich Froning. We scale reps, weight/resistance, range of motion, intensity, etc to make CrossFit accessible to everyone. "The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. One is looking for functional dominance; the other for functional … [Read more...] about You Don’t Know Jack!
