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.

Well let me be the first to welcome you in the club Mark, it just wasn't the same without you. I hope you have a spooky Birthday and not to many candies, unless you can find a Paleo Twinkie out there.

Great pic, old man. Happy Birthday!

I'm game for this workout. Did you have to put burpees in it??!

Happy birthday Mark!

Boy, this one was a keeper. Just enough muscle recovery between each to make it through the next. Burpies on the end were the only exception (that was just plain mean--thanks Mark!)

TEAM 6 Results (all scaled at least one thing, except the 40yr old birthday boy, who was not allowed):
George 36:10 (strong work and ice that hammie)
Judy 36:12 (Talk about effort! Some screams heard)
Jordan 38:20 (gets more gas in the tank each week)
Alex 34:12 (awesome burpies!)
Alan 39:00 (ground through)
Josh 35:25 (Obama campaign shouting, throughout)
Mark 26:57 RX (I got up at 4:30am to eat)
Holly 30:15 (Wow! That's all I can say.)
Dan 34:01 (you did Angie last night--ANIMAL!)

Several comments that the HSPU were already easier this time after doing JT just a couple days ago.

Thanks, everyone, for making this a great birthday (and Judy for the supplements, and Alan for the Chevys meal vouchers). I love my DCF family! I might make a cameo at Class, tonight (in costume) and see you soon!

Also, results from last night's Angie (and some did OHS, too!)--cut and paste

Posted by: luca z. at October 31, 2008 4:58 PM

Thanks Luca, and you are indeed my friend. Was that crazy, or what?
Thank you everyone for all the bday wishes. My puppy (John), Ariel (Kate) and I are headed out for some major candy collection. We'll be giving out chunks of meat with a "just say no to high glycemic foods" card attached, if you want to come sample some.
Have fun at the party, tonight. I'm going to miss the event, I think.
Happy Halloween!
