Longboat Thegn Report post Posted September 14, 2015 let's see how "CROSS FIT" work's when all you all yupp's are packing in altitude that is above 4500 ft. I'll take a REAL COWBOY, concrete finisher, iron worker or carpenter and see how cross fit works against them. Just my opinion There are very few real cowboys out there today. Those that are - I wouldn't bet against them in the hills. The problem is there are a lot of guys who would rather say they are a real cowboy and avoid a workout. Recently I had the opportunity to work out with a selfprofessed "real cowboy." He is a life long team roper, plumber working in the sun all day; don't need a workout to show me my place kinda guy. After a short warm up and 45 seconds in round 1, he was puking under one of my bushes outside my gym - or perhaps he was just looking for his pride and dignity under the bush. Like I said, there are those guys that are the real deal and can get away with their lifestyle being their workout (in a bind I would want these guys on my side every single time). In my experience, there just ain't that many of them; but it is a cool self-reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healy Arms Report post Posted September 15, 2015 Ever done a leg day? Yesterday - solid leg day Core, arms, shoulders & cardio today. Actually core and cardio almost everyday. Sometimes a lot - sometimes just enough to wake up. Those 2 things are my mainstays. They allow me to eat Chinese takeout with fried rice and not turn into a beach ball. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healy Arms Report post Posted September 15, 2015 Ever done a leg day? many, but never puked personally. Only once - police academy 1994 - obstacle course "best of three" trials on week 12. Trying to beat my first 2 times, pushing hard, and the pea gravel hill at the end got the best of me. Number 3 was better - but not by nearly enough - LOL You know what was the most telling of the timed trials. You could accept your first time provided it met minimum standard and not do the other two. The guys who opted out after one didn't try very hard, hi the minimum allowed, accepted mediocrity, took their grade and left their pride behind. You could absolutely see it in their eyes but they did it anyway. I'm not advocating push 'til you puke. Yeah - a few of us did and probably would again give the event & circumstances. That day has never left me. I witnessed "justgoodenough" in person. I still push myself & I've been close a few time since then. Now I know when to say when. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
