CROSSFIT LADIES

Here is a post of recent pictures followed by a copied post from CrossFit Fire in Illinois. Note how may ladies in the photos are doing CrossFit. Being skinny and weak is not sexy, desirable or healthy. Having muscles and being able to perform is. We have a great group of ladies that don't mind lifting weight overhead, squatting or building muscles while losing body fat. They are getting their bodies in top physical condition along with many other CrossFit ladies all over the world. Men, watch out!









POST FROM CROSSFIT FIRE



The strength work was:

Snatch 3-2-1-1-1

Followed by a metcon:

5 rounds for time
15 dead lifts (50% of your SRM)
30 double unders

Let me just say that my ladies class DOMINATED this workout. Not just because they looked so darn cute doing it, but because...well....THEY LOOKED DARN CUTE DOING IT! Nothing gets me more excited than feeling the good girl vibes flowing through the Fort. It got me day dreaming about a world where ALL women lifted weights, and CrossFit was a female dominated sport. Can you imagine? What if things were reversed, and 99% of all CrossFitters were women. Would men be hesitant to participate? Would they be worried that lifting weights and doing all those burpees would give them boobs?

EAT YOUR HEART OUT BOYS! Here's 13 beautiful women WITH BARBELLS.

Take a look at these two photos. You'll notice that no two of our ladies are the same. They're as unique and beautiful as snow flakes, and that's what makes this such a great program. It's not just for uber athletes, or workout fanatics; it's for stay at home moms, teachers, police officers, medical assistants, sales women, nursing moms, and beyond.

This is an x-ray of Scott's leg. The ricochet from a 357 sig lodged in his right leg. The next day he showed up at STICKS with his leg wrapped asking how he can modify the WOD.

POST FROM HYPERFITUSA

About FGB - From Dr. Jim Monte

Doug--to circulate if you wish

The Prostate Cancer Foundation has funded prostate cancer research at UM for more than 10 years, averaging approximately $300K/year in various grants. This financial support has been instrumental in developing at UM 2 new drugs, which will go into clinical trials this year and next year for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The PCF support has also funded research by Dr Arul Chinnaiyan leading to the discovery of a fusion of 2 genes very early in the development of most prostate cancers, which could lead to important new biomarkers for the disease and a unique target for new therapies being developed. The PCF has made a huge difference in Michigan.

Thanks Jim

RUNNING LADIES

Congratulations ladies! Great job getting on the podium. Still trying to figure out if the fun part is the race or the after party.


Kathryn and I rocked out the "Red Carpet 5K Run" last night in West Bloomfield. Kathryn did her best time ever. I finished with a 19:53 time (6:30ish minute miles). Both of us podiumed, thanks to the help of STICKS Training!

10 REASONS NOT TO TRAIN AT HYPERFIT USA

(And 10 reasons we don’t want you to come)

10. They make you try out – Just having a credit card and pulse does not get you a membership. You have to demonstrate your willingness and ability to train intensely enough to get results. Who wants to have to meet objective standards of performance?

9. They train too hard – You sweat and breathe hard in every workout. You train at the edge of the redline which makes it too hard to read a magazine while “working out.” They won’t let you be a part of the program if you just want to go through the motions.

8. They coach you – You can’t just sit and peddle on the bike, they make you learn and develop skills. They video workouts so people can see what they are doing and coach you on how to improve. You have to learn how to move better, so you can lift more weight faster – which means you get stronger, faster and lift properly. Who wants to be coached to be stronger or faster?

7. They don’t like whining or excuses – Complainers and criers are shunned, ridiculed, run off and are generally treated like lepers. They don’t consider the woe is me attitude to be a good thing or a badge of courage. It is the right of every human to paint himself or herself as a victim in everything so they can increase their popularity with their everything-is–wrong peer group. Who wants to go to a place where you can’t complain about everything under the sun?

6. They teach you new things – They make people learn new lifts, workouts and training methods – And expect you to master them. They teach and re-teach the fundamentals so you are good at them. Who wants to learn and perfect movements in constantly changing workouts?

5. They don’t have mirrors, treadmills, machines, TV’s Etc. – They don’t have a place to adjust your make up or to flex while you stand around figuring out your next bicep exercise. You can’t check how your new outfit looks when you work out. There is no TV with Jerry or Montel or any other car crash program to distract you from your workout. They actually make you run to do your “cardio.” Who really wants to actually focus on training?

4. They tell you the truth – They tell you when you are not moving right, or babying yourself or going through the motions. They are do not praise you when you look like a space monkey having a seizure. If you do something stupid in a workout they will have probably videoed it and put it on YouTube. Who wants to be held accountable to actually do things right?

3. They expect you to get better and actually expect you to train – They expect you to add weight, go faster and maintain excellent form as a regular part of the training. They expect you to try harder to overcome the weakest links in your performance. They expect everyone who has a membership to actually come to the gym to workout. Who wants that kind of stress to constantly improve or show up?

2. They measure performance – They keep score and track your results. They won’t let you just go through the motions – They keep score on the results of your training. If your scores, weights or times are not improving, they want to know why. Who wants their performance to improve all the time?

1. They charge too much – They charge enough where you may actually feel compelled to show up and train. They think that if they provide a top level, fully equipped training space and expert coaches to coach you, it is of value to their members. Who wants to pay for a fully equipped and professionally run training center that expects people to workout and requires people to get results?
