"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
— Theodore Roosevelt

Clean & Jerk: Oly lifts are phenomenal in terms of developing strength and power from legs and hips. Keeping a tight midline is demanded while not only pulling from the ground but receiving the weight in a full squat. Performing Cleans, Front Squats and Jerks in a 20:00 time frame will tax your muscles, challenge your conditioning level and stress your nervous system.

2011 Crossfit Games Winners


The Crossfit Games was bigger and badder this year. They keep finding ways to challenge the athletes for the "Fittest on Earth". Participants that qualify for the Games have to be ready for whatever they throw at them. Just being inhumanly strong is not good enough. Being able to run a sub-5 mile wouldn't do it either. Athletes need a great combination of many different fitness domains.

Congratulation to all the athletes and participants especially Annie Thorisdottir and Rich Froning Jr. standing on the podium at the end.

I would have to believe that there is a small difference between who is standing on the podium at the end and who misses out. There is no question that natural physical capacities have something to do with it. But I truly believe that the slight difference from being the cream of the crop in any endeavor has to do with the ability to work harder than everyone else.

I never watched the champions of the Games train but I will guarantee you that they found their breaking point and pushed further. Found it again and pushed further.
