Happy One Year Anniversary! Well, what a journey it has been! It seems a lot longer but the fact is I have been doing CrossFit for exactly one year today. I never kept a regular journal before so I’m amazed that what started as my WOD-log became a daily reflection on what CF does to me and us… I’m so humbled by others taking the same journey inspired by what I went through. I wish you even better rewards!
While this will be Year One of many years to come the fact remains that Crossfit is transformational for everyone and of all ages. I’m reflecting on some of my own stats on a year ago vs. today:
Body Fat: 22% to 8%
Metabolic Age: 43 to 13
Max Pullups: +600%
Max 2 min pushups: +300% – 45 to 132
Max Deadlift: 265 to 425 lbs
Clean, Snatch, Press all increased by at least 150%
Learned the double unders, muscle ups and handstand pushups, no-feet rope climbs and other fun movements…
This week I’m in Europe and this will be my first Level Grading Week following the method by Cell Fitness in Australia. Their 5-level fitness standards can be found here and this is what I will use going forward. In Year 2 every month I will complete the grading tests to help me focus and monitor progress towards CrossFit Open 2013…
And to celebrate, I broke my PR on the 2 min pushups to 132 today…
