Diablo CrossFit

What Is CrossFit?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

Mentally 'hard' jobs decrease Alzheimer's risk

Scientists found tissue damage was much quicker to lead to memory loss in the less intellectually stimulated.

They suggest mentally tough work, or genes which help people achieve such careers, may help the brain compensate for disease. . .

I see the main site copied our Wednesday WOD... wait a minute... they trimmed it down!

Ha, six rounds is a mighty tall order considering you only get two minutes rest. I ran a timed mile today and it felt great. The rust is working itself loose. Eating and sleeoing better.

JJ- The Breathe Right strips (plus a little sinus spray) knocks me out for the count and I've been sleeping great.

Everyone laughs at the breathe rights until they use them.


Someday I hope to live in a world where I can wear my breathe right all day and not be asked "what happened to your nose!?"

JJ-

Whats wrong with you nose? Why do you always wear a band-aid on it? haha.

Anyways, for those of you who have subscribed to the Crossfit Journal you should definitely check out the video of Coach working with Gillian while at the Crossfit Games. GREAT video on squat cleans, thrusters, push jerk. I needed to have seen this yesterday prior to wussing out on 215# cleans...bah!
