  • Get Your Pistols Ready!

    Yesterday I did CrossFit Total — 1 RM Back Squat, Shoulder Press, Deadlift. I didn’t do my normal weight with the first two but ended up with a 235# PR on my deadlift. Not everyday and every lift will be a PR. I felt pretty good about it all. Coach Nick also introduced me to…

  • Grasshoppers

    These are awesome and brutal — give them a try!

  • Dutch Lowy Warmup

    Today I was the coach for the Community Workout and it was so hot. I created a really good, challenging low skill WOD that even the hard core athletes seemed to like how bad it sucked. I started off doing the Dutch Lowy warmup. Here’s a video of all he does — It’s a really…

  • Hydrate! and then Hydrate More!

    Water is great before and during the WOD — But ditch the electrolyte drinks post WOD and make your own ‘sports’ drink – it’s cheaper and way healthier… Post-Workout Hydration from CrossFit Eternal on Vimeo.

  • Don’t Forget the Classics

    Yesterday was a great day. Spent it by working out in the AM, and spending the afternoon with good friends by the pool with the kids. Life in the USA doesn’t get much better than that! We have been watching So You Think You Can Dance lately with the kids. Nate has always been interested…

Here is one from the New York Daily News: CrossFit brings in women, the ‘globo’ gym-weary, and the simply curious  CrossFit is about intense, short bursts of activity, says Steven Shrago, co-founder of CrossFit London, typically no longer…

  • Pacing Myself

    It occurred to me this AM that the reason my wrists are sore is because I am trying out the new grips I got that velcro around them. DOH! I used them this AM but made sure they were looser around my wrists. The verdict is still out on them helping me out  with any…

  • Take Care of Your Wrists in CrossFit

    My wrists have been fatigued and sore. We have some front squats and push ups recently and I think it has led to a bit of strain on those wrists. I don’t do nearly enough mobility and I type all day long at my computer — so I read some good advice about taking care…

  • Drink Some More!

    As promised here are the pics from yesterday’s Flash WOD at Reston Town Center. Scott came and took a bunch of photos of our box. It’s like we have our own private photographer for events. And as you can tell – we have the most fun together. It’s one of the best things about our…
