Day 151: LC Dynamic Duo

Below are details about the Dynamic Duo Team Competition in september. Lets see how many teams from NoX Training that we can show up with. So far we have Dick and Mike on one team, Ryan and Chuck on another for the Rx Division. Who else is in? If you have ever wanted to compete in a CrossFit competition then this one is the one to start. Don't have a team-mate?...ask a fellow NoX Training partner to join your team. Before you sign up make sure you have your basic gymnastics down (pullups/toes to bar) (muscle ups/ handstand pushups for Rx div), dubbs, and are comfortable doing most lifts (squats/cleans/snatch/Jerks/presses/deadlifts). If not, then be willing to practice, practice, practice over the next few months. Training for a competition like this will put you on a fast track to learning new movements and better fitness. Sign up NOW up until JUNE 15 for the lowest price. GO HERE to sign up

Day 146: Memorial Weekend "Murph"

CrossFit Hero Workouts are named after fallen warriors. 
On October 18th, 2005 on the CrossFit.com home page,Murph was posted. Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy was a CrossFitter and loved this particular workout. CrossFit decided to honor him by naming the workout after him. Now hundreds of thousands of people have performed this workout and know of his story. Since then there have been more workouts named after fallen soldiers, firefighters and law enforcement officers.

Many people decided that doing this workout was not hard enough on its own...some wore gas masks, some wore weight vests, some carried barbells on the run, and more. 

I decided to do the runs with my gas mask, and then do strict pull-ups.
