Garrett said...

Hey bro, in your leave of absence I tried my best to make some worthy wod's inspired by CFBF, Crossfit.com and USCrossfit.com. I would appreciate some feedback if you don't mind, I tried sticking with the CFBF "body destruction" theme, but now that it's all over I regret it all...

I am on NSA for the next 3 weeks and looking to Crossfit. Been doing my WOD's in the gym for the last week. If you guys know a better spot, when Alex will be back, and/or would like to get together for a WOD let me know. Also, I have been a level 1 Trainier for a year now and I am willing to train anyone in Alex's absence if they are looking to be a better Crossfitter. I will not be in any way affiliated with Barbarian CF just a Trainer looking to help anyone who needs it or someone looking for some healthy competition. I am an aircrewman so my schedule is day to day so I will do he best I can to be available. You will find me on the CF message board. Thanks.

Garrett said...

Nick,
it would be awesome if you can swing by some time and help out. I know I got a lot to work on and I wouldn't mind a few pointers. Today (friday) is an off day so I'll be in the gym tomorrow around 4.

Nick Maisonet said...

Sorry Bro, flying Saturday. I am actually in between missions right now. Would love to meet up. Let me know when and where you will be on Sunday and how I can find you. I will have some sort of CF shirt on. Gotta represent.

Nice times and weights by the way.

Garrett said...

Nick,

Thanks bro, I'm trying...

I'll more than likely be in the gym between 4-6 pm. I'll be rockin some running shorts and our CrossFit Barbarian t-shirt (it has the rhino on the back)

Nick Maisonet said...

Gotta fly again today. Sorry Bro. Going to try again for Monday. There is an off chance that I may be there, but depends on the airplane. Is between 4-6pm your usual time and do you work out at the main gym or somewhere else? Also, do you have any idea when Alex will be back? Thanks man have a good WOD. This is mine for today.

5 Rounds:
400m Run
15 35# DB Thrusters
15 Pull-ups

Garrett said...

Normally yes that's when I'm in the gym, unless I get off early. We'll be in there tomorrow after 430pm. We work out in the main gym. Although there is a much better place that is actually somewhat tailored for CrossFit WOD's but I can't get in there without an escort.

As for Alex, sorry bro you just missed him, he PCS'd at the beginning of this month.

NIck Maisonet said...

That figures. I guess it is up to me now. I will do what I can to be in the gym around that time. I met another guy yesterday that just started and he said he has a another guy that is into CF. Maybe we can get something rolling on our own. Escort?

Garrett said...

Nick,

Sounds good to me, nothing better than having somebody there to motivate you through the wod. There are a handful of CFBF guys and we're close with the Military Athlete guys that are in the gym a lot. My schedule seems to be as unpredictable as yours but generally i'm in between 4-6 but these past three days it's been between 1-3.

I was sucking this week Alex (if you couldn't tell from my times and amrap's). Now I know what you meant when you said how much you'll feel it if you let your diet slip for a couple of days. Oouch!!!

Matt Bahen said...

Hey guys. I'm heading over that way in about a month & I'm interested in doing some CF training. I'm not L1 cert'd but I've been training at an affliate for about a year now in Richmond, VA. Just wanted to see if anybody was going to continue Alex's program or if there was a way to keep it going. Thanks for any info you can offer!

Garrett said...

Matt,
What's up bro? Let us knnow when you get out here and we'll try to get together. There's a handful of us out here that are still doing CFBF and you're more than welcome to join in the misery.
