Alex and Patty wanted me to make a tank top design they they saw and liked on the internet. The one they saw cost $30+ to order. I was able to make one for much cheaper. So if you like this tank feel free to order and share it on the internet to help reach the goal of 50 tanks sold. Click here to order. 




























These days there are many sources on the internet on how to learn new skills in gymnastics/functional movement. One of the best sources for basic gymnastics movements used in CrossFit workouts is Carl Paoli at GymnasticsWOD.com. Check out these videos below for some pistol progressions. If you cannot do a pistol correctly, start out by practicing the exercises in the videos starting with #1. Do not move on to the next video until you master the current video you are on. This is a great progression video series that you can work on at home to improve your skills.       Before you do that, Check out the CrossFit Fail Video posted below...I know some of you can relate to these fails. It's alright though, if you haven't failed yet, you haven't pushed hard enough.
