After "Time Trials" PM class Jason came down to try to set a new 500m rowing record for our gym. He's the blur on the right. Bryan is the blur on the left. Both guys were jammin.
Jason's been following the Zone diet for 2 weeks and been following the CrossFit WODs with no more bodybuilding routines for 3 months. His last 500m rowed was about 3 months ago...1:23.6. To drop 3 seconds in 3 months when your time is that low is just insane. Is CrossFit working for him? Ask him, I'm sure you'll get an earfull of excitement.
Check out the world rankings here : Row Rankings He's 8th place in the world!!!
Oh ya, earlier in the day he shoulder pressed 215#!!!
His thoughts on CrossFit...a picture is worth a 1000 words.
Coaches thoughts: I loved the energy tonight. After each met-con WOD you should be laying on the floor recovering. I saw a lot of that. It shows me I got some fisrt class efforts. Great work to all.
WOD 2/28/08
7 rounds for time:
- 10 sumo-deadlift high pulls(95#)
- 10 ring dips

Congrats! Your hard work is paying off.
