CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: My partner today was the ever cheerful Tim. Maybe he needed a new profile picture or because He just wanted to train with someone different today? Or maybe because I'm such a funny, awesome partner to train with? I don't care who I train with! All I can say is yes.....I am awesome to train with! It is true. However Tim is a really really nice bloke! I wish I could train with him all the time. Not like that awful Rik Walsh (@rikbwalsh) coach usually forces me to train with because he has terrible flatulence and never apologies for it!! And no one will even stand next to, never mind train with😂 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Of course only part of that is true but because it's my public blog I can say pretty much what I like ha ha ha! Workout hard my friends. But most of all workout clever x #exercise #crewe #crossfit #crossfitbeginner #gym #gymmen #crossfitmen #fitness #fitnessmen #gympartner #gymetiquette #exercise #olympiclifts #strictpress #gymfunny #gymfun #funning #happy #healthy #instafıtness #instafun #igfitness #igcrossfit #igfunny

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: My old mate Darren moving well through his WOD. He's got a comp (or a throw down as we crossfitters call it) Darren is partnering up with another member against a local box. This kind of thing goes on quite a lot in Crossfit. It's an excellent idea. One of our fittest members may become over confident due to being near the top of every WOD. (I'm not suggesting any members are, it's only my theory) Competing against another box may be a reality check for that member. A member from another box may be allot better at certain Olympic lifts lets say. This in turn helps the said member grow. It's like an MMA fighter training with a coach that can tie him up with Jujitsu. Or a much better pure striking coach. The said fighter will only improve. It helps the said fighter improve on any weaknesses! #Crewe #crossfit #crossfitmen #crossfitcoach #crossfitbeginner #throwdown #competion #fitness #fitnessmen #eveningworkout #workout #igcrossfit #igfitness #motivation #kettlebells #functionalfitness #mma #improve #weakness #cw1crossfit

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: Mick showing us how solid his headstand position. Coach Danny uses Mikes body as a doll to practice his KUNG FU, showing the class his amazing Sticky Hands technique!! It really was an impressive display ha ha ha ha. Only joking, coach Dan was safety man for Mike.

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: Just to make me feel bad about doing pistols. Because I believed a one legged squat was in some kind of myth from a mystical fairytail! Coach Ben makes it look easy!!

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: As always i always capture... The.....KODAK MOMENTS. Young Ross performing his very first Pistol Squat. Aaaaand on his first attempt. Well pretty much after 5 mins of mobility coaching from Coach Ben. Well done that man! Come on people put your hands together for ROSS!!!

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: Well as you may have noticed someone has stolen the one from the CW1 symbol on our wall. So being the good egg that she is @michellehartill volunteered to be the number one for the rest of the class. So like Chinese bamboo scaffolding coach and @carolroberts1974 helped her up! And there she stayed for the next hour!! Or maybe it was just handstands day in the box? Like THE LIFE OF PI, I prefer the first story. So that's the one I'm sticking with!! Ha ha ha ha You decide for yourselves mwah. #Crewe #build #crossfit #scafolding #suppleleopard #functionalfitness #crossfitcommunity #crossfitbeginner #crossfitchicks #fitness #fitnessgirls #fitspo #handstand #lifeofpi #igfitness #igcrossfit #igfitness #gymnastics #mobility #missing #helpinghand #standup #exercise #morningworkout #workout #train

MOBILITY CHALLENGE: CAN YOU STAND UP???? Sounds simple.... The idea is to get up from this exact position with zero points. Penalty points are given for the following: 1 point if you Wobble. 1 point if you have to put a hand down. 1 point if you have to put your knee down. 1 point for every time you fall over onto your bum. 1 point if you have to put down your elbow. Of course you add points every time you incur a penalty. Basically the test is to try and stand straight up from this position then uncross your legs. Our model @rikbwalsh finds this very easy but I can't do this without incurring about 10 points ha ha ha. Give it a try. Apparently there is a study that this test (of strength, balance, mobility) is a good indicator of how long you will be mobile and able to move about for when you get older? #mobility #Crewe #crossfit #balance #core #gym #crossfitmen #yoga #gymnastics #fitness #flexability #cw1crossfit #becomingasuppleleopard #movement #mobile #igfitness #igcrossfit #igmotivation #motivation #exercise #workout #stretch #crosslegged #crosslegs #challenge #test #mobilitychallenge #fix #functionalfitness #functionalmovement

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: Ross showing us why he has excellent, if not the best overhead squat position in the house. Well I'm not including the coaches.

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: One of the things I love about the 9:30 morning classes is its not to busy. There's no class either side of it for at least an hour. So if we run over or start late by a couple of mins no body is bothered. Coach can be more relaxed about time restraints and I think that reflects on us. Just look here how relaxed and care free Joel and Josh are. You would think they are on Queen's Park lake, idling away with the ducks. It's a sunny bright day, Occasionally throwing in some bread just so they can splash the kids. Nothing more than the choice of ice cream taxing their tiny minds as the amble through the glistening well managed council lake. Just happy knowing that they could....if they chose to, Skip past the even slower peddleows. But the harsh reality is..... They are blasting through a workout at a lung burning speed, sweat, gasp, heart thump inducing pace. One that shall render them unable to speak for at least 2 minutes after this workout. Their backs covered in sweat like a layer of frost! But hey a picture can tell a thousand stories. Love your morning workouts mwah #row #Crewe #cw1crossfit #crossfit #gym #gymlife #fitness #exercise #igfunny #igcrossfit #igfitness #sweat #wheeze #ducks #functionalfitness #cardio #wod #intense #smile #happy #fun #fitnessmen #fitness #fitnesslife #sealife #boatlife

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: @vaneeathan Here helping Fast Eddie Bayley with his stretching this morning. But unknown to @etbayley I got a bit naughty with my man crush!! His Breadknife, Michelle did see the funny side ha ha ha ha ha!

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: Ok so I like to train in a dorky cycling cap from time to time. Hey I love this hat baby, and I don't care. @1ookmumnohands make great cycling caps. @hizokucycles make great t shirts. Like this Bike Zen one I've had for a while now. I wish they would re release this Tshirt in different colours or maybe a jumper. Anyway back to back squat. The weight is never a big problem for me. But my poor ankle flexibility is. I either can't keep my heels off the floor or I lean forwards to far to over compensate. Hey I still look cool and dorky trying ha ha ha! In my yellow @inov_8 Ninja shoes. Honestly if you could see ninjas you would find they wear INOV8 F Lite - 235's honestly! They are sooooo comfy. #cw1crossfit #crossfit #crossfitbeginner #crossfitmen #crossfitdork #gym #gymfun #gymmen #gymlife #fitness #fitnesslife #fitnessmen #igfunny #igdork #igcrossfit #igfitness #iggym #exercise #inov8 #cycle #fixie #sneakers #tritrans #backsquat #squat #olympiclifts #mobility #stretch #stressrelease #yellowman #yesiloveyellow

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: @craigwilliamson666 @cw1_crossfit Ami tackling last weeks deadlift heavy week. Here's the pic she never realised I took (NINJA CAMERA MODE) One rep max!! 120kg!!!

CROSSFIT BEGINNERS BLOG: @craigwilliamson666 @cw1_crossfit If your like me you may lack the wrist and elbow range of movement/flexibility to be able to perform multiple Thrusters without hurting your wrists. Wall balls are the exercise for you. They are the same exercise essentially but without the risk. I personally dislike both but know that they are a great to add to ones workout. If you've never done these please do. Oh and remember......all the way down when you squat guys. Full range of movement please mwah. In the example here Mr @bad_regiment himself is on the left. Showing us why he has 10% more!!!! #cw1crossfit #crossfit #crossfitmen #crossfitcoach #crossfitgames #wallballs #thrusters #olympiclifts #gym #gymlife #igfitness #igcrossfit #igmotivation #mobility #motivation #functionalfitness #exercise #wod #workout #

@craigwilliamson666 @cw1_crossfit As our competitors are getting through 16.2 over the next week. What will the next few weeks bring for the guys and girls in the boxes all over the world? How will my friends do at CW1? How will we be affected mentally by the workouts. It's a constant battle between Dave Castro and ourselves!! We can't let him win!!
