TYLER WHOOP SOME ASSSSSSSS

Special shout out today to Tyler Q, He has made the brave decision to compete this weekend in the new England sectionals. For those of you who dont know him. Tyler is a high school senior, a devoted athlete and a freak of nature..LOL. This Kid can move some serious weight and move it fast. He was Maines fittest athlete at the 2009 Maine Fitness games, he crushed the 2009 Fight Gone Bad competition in Topsham and took first place with a score of like 1 billion or something, he also rowed a 6:27 2k meter at the 2009 World indoor rowing competition.
This kid LOVES to compete. I made all kinds of excuses as to why i wasn't going to the sectionals this year, and trust me next year unless my leg is broken and my arm is missing I will go.
For those of you who regularly workout, I don't just mean diehard crossfitters. but those of you who make exercising a regular thing. I urge you to compete, find any competition running lifting, pie eating, whatever, at first you will be scared or hesitant, but fight through that, competition can be a rewarding experience and also it helps to build the mind not just the body.
Anyway. If you see Tyler at little-fields Gym, wish him luck.

Here are the WOD's for The Weekend
Tyler Should Crush Wod 1 and 2 :)

Workout 1 (Saturday) "Pullin"

For time:
800 meter run
30 Snatches, 115/75
800 meter run

Workout 2 (Saturday) "Fast and Furious"

3 rounds for time of:
20 Box Jumps (24/20 inches)
20 Chest-to-bar Pull-ups
20 Wall Balls (20/14lbs, w/10 foot target)

Workout 3 (Sunday) "Serious 7"

Each athlete has 7 minutes to get their 7 rep max squat clean. When the athlete says "go" the judge will start the clock, each athlete has 40 seconds to complete their 7 rep max. They can do as many attempts as they want within the 7 minutes, however you only get 40 seconds for the 7 reps from the first pull. Rest and number of attempts is dependent on the athlete.

This workout is all about Endurance and stamina. Half way through your body is starving for oxygen, your legs are shot and you want to quit, but you keep moving. Its as much a mental game as it is a physical game. Its also about strategy and how you approach each station, me personally i try to do all 50 at each station before moving on.

Post your times as I do not remember them. I will try to make it a habit to collect times before I post. Also I do not have the 9 oclock class or the night class emails to let them know about the site so if you guys can let people know that would be great.

Mike M- 38:47 Rx beat my time from February by 1 minute
Sheila = 39:57 RX
Paula = 38:24 MD

If Life Gives you Lemons

"If life gives you lemons. GRAB A BIG AXE, SMASH THEM AND MAKE YOUR ENEMIES DRINK LEMONADE."
Meaning. Dont whine, dont complain. take the situation into your own hands , you take charge, you put in the work, and you make it happen. Stuck on a lift, practice at it till you conquer it. Cant make it to the gym, find the time to workout at home. There are 2 types of people, those with spines and those without. People without spines, complain, whine, and let the little things in life keep them down, keep them from being the men and women they were meant to be. Those with spines, fight, sweat, push through the pain, tell life to kiss it, and keep moving through the obstacles.
Which one are you.

WORK HARDER

I CANT! I WONT! BUT ITS TOO HARD! IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

No Excuses, do the work put in the gym time, eat protein, run, lift something heavy get stronger. Thats all I got today. :)

Inspiration:
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

NOW GO DO SOME HARD WORK
