Main Site Monday. 21 January
Tell us about your sports and fitness background?
Use to play soccer and was really into BMXing and use to go to the gym 4-5 times a week before crossfit
What’s your profession?
I’m a landscaper
How did you get involved in CrossFit?
Dirk and Nathan kept on telling me about this CrossFit thing, so a few months later i had to check it out for myself.
Do you remember what your first WOD was?
I cant remember what my first wod was but i remember it had running and pull ups involved. I got absolutely owned because i did not know about pacing myself through WODs.
When did you start coming to AndFit?
Started coming to CrossFit mid July 2012
What is your favorite WOD/Movement(s)? Least favorite?
Favorite wod so far is properly Diane , Favorite movements would have to be Muscle ups and Hand Stand Push Ups, Least favorite would be Thrusters
What are your short term and long term goals of CrossFit?
Short Term: To get my gymnastic moments down properly and control my core strength a lot more.
Long term: To enter some competitions and be able to do all the Wod’s RX
What is your biggest accomplishment in CrossFit so far?
That would have to be just after Christmas getting a Muscle up into a ring handstandpush up, still needs a little work keeping my core tight during the movement but super stoked i managed to get it. (*Note from Coach – this is freakish, get Bryn to show you it next time you see him in the box)
What is something that we don’t know about you? (Interesting fact, accomplishment you are proud of, obscure/unique talent, funny story, etc.)
Not many people know but was sponsored for BMXing. (This explains why the crazy cat can do gymnastics movements most of us are way to scared to try).
Any advice for people just getting started?
My advice would be to stick at it, its flippen hard and the beginning and to concentrate on getting the technique of the movements down properly before putting massive weights on.
