The man, the myth, the legend. Met up with Greg Glassman at the affiliate lounge. People new to #Crossfit should read up all of his original articles and understand the simplicity and genius of what he created. Even his fitness in 100 hundred words is a pretty good way to live your life. “Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, and presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.” #2017CrossfitGames #Madison #MadTown #2017Games #AffiliateLounge #Principles #Genius #OG #CrossfitCEO #CrossFit 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Alliant Energy Center)

Last day training @MadTownFitness before deloading before #CAASA provincials next week. Let's hope my wrist heals up by then. Biggest injury I have had in years, and all from slipping in the shower. #OldManProblems One of my favourite motivational quotes is on the wall at the gym. Great way to finish the week off. #2017CrossfitGames #Madison #MadTown #Motivation #Deload #Strongman 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Madtown Fitness)

Finally! Concept2 has made what looks like a more sturdy version of the air bike. Spent a little time on this and love the design and simplicity of it. No idea how the calorie count stacks up compared to the Airdyne and Assault bikes. But I see these as becoming the new standard. #Airdyne #Quality #AirBike #Concept2 #FeelTheBurn #300FU #2017CrossfitGames #Madison #MadTown 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Alliant Energy Center)

It's nice to see @Crossfit educating spectators and giving them some insight into what @CrossfitTraining offers. I think more coaches should strive to continuously to learn more. Too bad they didn't want to do a Strongman presentation. Would have loved to help raise some interest in the sport. It's nice to see another Strongman event at the games, it's just too bad that the weights are pretty light. Would have been nice to see some people struggle with some heavier weights. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a sprint for most of them. #Strongman #SME #Education #TrainingBooth2017 #CEC #AlwaysAStudent 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Alliant Energy Center)

Event 5 Sandbag Carry for distance at 250 pounds A pure guts torture test. Final event of the day. Everyone is exhausted, hot, drained. How much do you have left in the tank. How much are you willing to hurt. We are allowed to lap it to rest as much as you want. For most people, lapping it is the kiss of death. If you can even get it off the ground. This 250 pound behemoth just presses into your stomach making it hard to breathe, your arms and grip are burning. Your lower back lights up trying to keep your torso upright. Your mind is screaming to put it down so the pain goes away. It's all over after this. Are you going to drop it or is it going to fall from you. Are you willing to push harder than the other guys. I like how this event has its own prize for who how's the furthest. I feel bad for the first guy who has to set the pace, and worse for the last guy who knows exactly what he has to do to win. 181 feet and almost passed out. Definitely harder staring into the hot sun. #Sandbag #SandbagCarry #GutsTest #TortureTest #Strongman #Under90 #Braveheart #SportKilt @OriginalSportKilt #RoadToRegina @SaskStrongman #SaskStrongman #FitFam #BeardsOfInstagram 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Rebellion Brewing Co)

Event 2 Press Medley - 6 devices for time, or as far as you can get in 75 seconds. 1- 150 pound sandbag 2- 125 pound metal block 3- 160 pound keg 4- 110 circus dumbell 5- 185 pound keg 6- 200 pound metal block This looks like a lot of fun. I am a pretty good presser and having the variety and some new objects will make it harder for the specialists. I am only worried about the circus dumbell chewing into my time. It's my worst event as I press it with my right arm and I have limited mobility in my right elbow from my motorcycle accident, plus a sprained wrist, from of all things, slipping in the shower. Yeah, I must be getting old. Managed to get to the 200 pound block and probably could have pressed if I had another 10 seconds. The heat is definitely starting to get to me. 35 degrees right now. 59.1 seconds to get to the block. Noticed how I controlled all my drops as well. Respect the equipment. #Keg #Press #CircusDumbell #ShowersAreDangerous #Strongman #Under90 #Braveheart #SportKilt @OriginalSportKilt #RoadToRegina @SaskStrongman #SaskStrongman #FitFam #BeardsOfInstagram 🔰Use the code "AbsLikeEverett" for discount @Squadron71 #UGSeries #LivingTheDream #CrossfitBytown #LookFeelPerformBetter #Squad #TrainNotToSuckAtLife #Squadron71 (at Rebellion Brewing Co)
