Yes, I do actually train
-News-
Just because you dont often see me training it doesnt mean it doesnt happen! A question that often comes up in the CrossFit community and is asked of trainers is "do you train with your clients?" I know there are trainers that jump in there all the time and regularly work alongside clients, but I tend to do what the majority of trainers do and that is focus on the job at hand which is training other people. Occasionally I'll hop in and do a run with someone or join in on a workout with a lower technical element but apart from that seeing me actually training is a bit of a white whale, but the focus in the sessions is on you and getting the most out of you as athletes. There is a great quote about the subject, I dont know who it is by but it goes along the lines of "its not what the coach can do but what the coach can get the athlete to do".
But rest assured I do actually practice what I preach and firmly believe that CrossFit is the most effective GPP (general physical preparation) program around, as with anything the proof is in the pudding so Im going to enter the Greenbelt Half Marathon on May 3rd (roughly 6 weeks away) with no specific run training only following CrossFit WODs which will mean the longest run between now and then will be 5km. There is also a 10km event on the day, I invite anyone who's interested to enter either the half marathon or the 10km, if you dont feel like running come along and support those who are running.
Victoria Park tonight for both 5:15 and 6:15pm sessions.
Workout
With a clock running do 1 burpee the first min, then 1 Thruster (30/20) the 2nd min, then 2 burpees the 3rd min, 2 Thrusters the 4th etc etc and continue on till you can no longer complete the reps within a min

yeah, its photoshop. i put my head onto arney's bod once, nothing to it!!!
Hehe, you guys didn't notice the filename? I think he's doing Mr. Joshua - that's tough.
Five rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
30 Glute-ham sit-ups
250 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
personally i think he should be overhead squatting it.
blouse
I do remember one of those .... brr.
Bit missed out today, to good wind to ditch on kiting
Kev is spot on the money, it was Mr Joshua, 110kg is no monster deadlift but after 70 reps its not exactly pleasant.
Kudos to mat for 27mins of mayhem tonight, busting a nut and coming back for more.
Emma held on strong for 27min in the 2nd group. Everyone else was between 20-25mins, deceptive workout that ramps up very very slowly and then comes down like a tonne of bricks
