Our People. Our best.
A-Team
Mellisa or Mo as she is refereed to at GSX is one of those special folks that makes our box such a pleasure. She is the real Mckoy and she cares about doing the workout right... She will stick to it until its all done and then put her time on the mental board... She will not cheat a movement - and that is what I adore about her.The workouts do not define her, her workout time does not define her, she defines herself and her actions speak volumes! Did you know she races dragsters, and that she loves all forms of outdoor traiing, or that she rock climbs, and that she loves her dogs.
Get to know the guy or gal next to ya in the box - you all will be better for it.
Love your style Mo,
Tucker

Come join us, and bring a friend2009 CrossFit Affiliate Cup Challenge
The CrossFit Games 2009 Affiliate Cup Challenge will start early on Friday, July 10th, 2009. There will be 1-3 team workouts (format to be announced later). The top 5 teams from these days events will then move forward to the Affiliate Cup Finals on Sunday morning, July 12th (prior to the Men's and Women's Top CrossFitter Finals). The winning team on Sunday will then be the 2009 CrossFit Games Top Affiliate.An Affiliate Team can consist of a minimum of four to a maximum of six. The team needs to have a minimum of two men and two women. You must actively train at the affiliate facility to be part of a team.
All the workouts will be conducted as team workouts with teams of four. Two men and two women will be competing at one time as a team. This will allow team captains or coaches to substitute members prior to an event based on team members' individual strengths and weaknesses.
Workouts and the scoring system for Friday will be announced the week of the event. The workout for Sunday's finals will be announced Saturday night.
Athletes who qualify for the men's and women's individual competition may also be included on an affiliate team. Just understand they will have three days of multiple grueling workouts, and will be competing against others who are only in one event.
We recommend having tryouts and competitions within your affiliate to determine your team of four to six athletes. But that is just a recommendation. All teams are welcome no matter the ability or level of competitor. Scaling will be available on Friday, though it will disqualify you for Sunday.
Registration for teams will be open from June 1-12, 2009, or when all spots fill up (the number of spots for affiliate teams is undetermined at this time). The team registration fee will be $200.
There will be a cash prize and the winner will also get to keep the Affiliate Cup in their gym for the year.

What a wonderful weekend and what a gracious and kind host CrossFit Fire in Chicago has in its Owners and Directors. Bill and Jennie were so incredibly kind and generous. I would go there again every day of the week and twice on Sunday's if they would let me. The group of folks at the Gymnastic Cert were so wonderful and attentive and they all worked so hard, nice max effort. I love this community and love being a small part of it. CF Fire was so great - they obviously have something special there. Thank you guys and gals for all the kind shout outs!Much Love - Tucker

GSX was honored to host the Fort Worth Police Academy Recruits and Instructor Cadre today, for "Fight Gone Bad". Tremendous spirit by the recruits, great job. Congratulations on your work thus far, and thank you for the path you have chosen. Reminder
As a reminder, the 6:15am class will now be starting promptly at 6:00am. See you all dark, and early.
Stronger. Faster. Meaner.
Be strong, be fast. Work on the 'whole athlete'. That means working on what sucks the most sometimes. For me that means Overhead Squats, or anything involving a jump rope. Don't shy away from those events, or WODs, that you are less good at. Embrace what sucks the most and drive on.
Sunday madness follows, or a workout that I put together after having a nightmare about Ken C.
"Don't try this at home"
5 rounds:
1 Muscle-Up
2 Weighted Pull-Ups
3 Overhead Squats
4 Handstand Push-Ups
5 Dead Lifts
See, many elements of 'suck' represented by this one. Tucker got my muscle up dialed-in, Josh keeps me on my toes with the weighted Pull-Ups, I hate OHS, HSPU are fun at parties, and Ken C. rocks the DLs (or he yelled at me in my nightmare to do more). Started the pull-ups with a 53lb KB and finished them with a 70lb. The OHS started at 45lb and progressed to a 105lb PR, and the DLs started at 135lbs and finished at 260lbs.
All of the above after a brisk 4 mile run.
Constantly varied, high intensity movements. Good times. Rant off.
