Philosophy is critical to life.  “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  I like it.  CrossFit is the deliberate enterprise of making yourself better, being more than you are, getting more out of life than you had before, not being satisfied by the experiencial borders, purposeful broadening of your horizon.  What develops is a community of like-minded people in search of the same benefits from their fitness program.  Boy oh boy does CrossFit deliver.

Our community is growing larger and closer all at once, it’s great to see and be a part of it all!

I know, I know – another gym!??!!  Heck yes!  Edmonds needs a gym worthy of training it’s people back into health and into a useful, purposeful fitness that will ward off the terrors of assisted living, reduced capacity, or functional insufficiency.  I love difficult sentences 🙂

If you want directions email me or call me 425-697-7108!

I thought I’d throw up a few choice pics from last week – pretty awesome stuff!

This is exactly how a too heavy DL should look!!

DUMP THAT S!#$

Smack dab in the middle of my comfort zone 🙂

Not that I’m myopically focused on moving huge iron, wait.  I totally am.  Sorry for that :)  Seeing as I’m myopically focused on moving huge iron be ready for our coming week of re-testing since the diet challenge!!  Yay Murph, Fran, Front Squats, Deadlifts, Dips, Pull-ups and oh so much more!!!

So I got emailed by this gym and I watched their video and thought to myself “crap, this is terrible, we gotta make a video!”  As with every good piece of video on the net, music is critical.  Abi votes for Neil Diamond’s “Forever in Blue Jeans”, Jesse votes for Yasmeen’s “Blue Jeans”.  If you can’t tell the theme of the video would indeed be blue jeans (the songs will not mesh, we tried).  What we’re thinking is filming people here doing REGULAR CrossFit stuff, (which according to this other video is breathtakingly difficult) having fun in class, training hard; and then also in blue jeans (and a shirt, except for Charles) walking around laughing doing whatever.

Strong.

So what we’re looking for is people who would like to help us out by being in our video to show the world how much fun we have training together!  My ulterior motive is also punk on other gym’s videos where people have bad technique, look sloppy or just plain aren’t having a good time.  I want to capture all that in this video.

And Posey, thanks for Volunteering.

These kids got "tired"

And thankfully you don’t have to wear a singlet at all of them!!! 

March 7th-8th

Washington State Powerlifting Championships

Yeah, we’re bringing a team.

March 22nd

Big Climb for Leukemia

69 Flights of Stairs for time, carry an infant for cool points.

Yeah, we’re bringing a team.

I encourage you to sign up!!!  As CrossFitters we can do both these competitions, unlike silly specialists 🙂 

Join the LCF Myrmidons (the team) anytime by talking to Jesse and giving him a filled out "hard ass profile". 

Could he be further back?  His shins are almost perpendicular!  Depth is coming, as this weight still isn’t enough (somehow) to force him down, and trust me he is relaxing to get deeper, which is kinda nuts.

Also, the astounding man core is critical.  According to Dan Atchison, David’s "Ab" is beautiful.  Even though our man David is down 8lbs since starting Paleo – fantastic!
