Q1. What have been your greatest successes (physically, mentally or emotionally) since you began? How does your body feel now compared to when you started and WHY?
I’d say it would be deadlifting 425 lb. I never imagined myself being able to lift such a weight. It’s given me more drive and discipline to want to go further and do more. My body in a while just feels stronger and more playable. I move easier, and without getting tired as fast.

Q2. How has your life changed since starting CrossFit training? Has CrossFit transferred over into any other areas of your life?
I walk around more sure of myself, with a confidence I didn’t have before. The biggest thing I’ve noticed outside of the gym is if I have a chore to do at home I don’t procrastinate anymore I just do it without thinking about it. Thinking about it now too I’d say my overall stress level has decreased a lot. I don’t get as irritable.

Q3. What are the advantages of CrossFit style training compared to your previous workout styles?
I like the variety. Always something different. It’s fun. Working out with others that are suffering through the same workout as you. Always someone to push or someone to push you. The community in whole is awesome.

Q4. What advice can you give to others?
In regards to CrossFit, if you haven’t tried it do it. You won’t look back.
Guys don’t pee into the wind
Girls when peeing outside stand on top of the hill so it runs away from you.
