Back Down to Earth
Yesterday I decided to do another fitness session straight off the Cross Fit website.
Have a go at this one and let me know how you finish up in the comments below casue this one really sucked:
400m run
25 x burpees ( chest and stomach to the ground)
x six sets for time
Time: 27.07
Great for the endurance but 150 burpees in a session can never be good???
This morning I headed back to a Cross Fit Session in Canberra with the boys ( haven’t seen them for five weeks) and I must say I got absolutley murdered. I was so far behind I felt I was going backwards. Here I am:
Anyway back to this mornings session:
15 x 40kg Sumo Dead Lift High Pull
15 x 25kg Overhead Squat ( supposed to be 40kg but I have got NO chance of full range at that weight)
15 x burpees ( as if I didn’t do enough of these yesterday)
15 x 40kg push press
x 4 sets for time
Time: 19.50
Felt: like shit….
One of the toughest fitness sessions I have done, will be a great one for some of my Canberra Personal Training clients…
Here is a clip of Sumo Deadlift High Pulls

Hi Scott,
Go to greyskulls elite strength and Conditioning.com
Have a read about some experienced CrossFit coaches and affiliates pulling out! Due to the crap been dished out by some inexperienced Affiliates/coaches which makes the good coaches like bad as CrossFit is linked to all Business names when you affiliate.
.
I had first hand experience of this yesterday training 3 of my clients mind you 2 of them are Navy and Police tactical PTI’s. We get together once a week to train.
As we were cooling down after a kettlebell workout I did with them outdoors I saw these 3 guys watching my coaching of the kettlebell swings. The 3 guys were all wearing CrossFit grey t-shirts which I lated found out are given out at the lasted cert 1. They had the hide to question me over my two handed kettlebell swing!!!! (Mind you none of them had any Kettlebell qualifications, S&C background or fitness experience except having done the level 1 CrossFit Cert.
.
I asked them if they new the difference between the Russian swing to the american swing which CrossFit use.
.
They only new the American swing as they have done it at a CrossFit session here in canberra with an affiliate which I wont name. I was doing a full kettlebell session of Russian ballistic swings and snatches. I told them to P!!!!! off and go and research the difference between the two before been arogant and approaching people training who they don’t know and preaching they know it all as they train CrossFit or wear the gear!
.
I am seeing more of it now which is turning me off. One thing is for sure you want see me training those 3 guys they got the message!
.
From one of your workouts you did “helen” look at a sub 10mins to aim for. I implemented a sub 10min rx’d club for all the girl workouts for my clients who are able to perform all CrossFit Movements and Olympic lifts. Those with problems on technique with the lifts can not move on until I pass them on each lift.
.
congrats on the Fitness ACT Awards again great job!!!

No worries mate I will go and have a look at the site. I have heard a bit of speak about a few disgruntled coaches overseas.
Mate, when I went and completed the course a few weeks ago I have to say there were a few people there that I am not sure what they are going to do with Cert for Cross Fit.
They are coming in droves here to Canberra, there is a new centre onpening in the cnetre of Canberra in November and a new one in Feb next year… Hopefully they are up to standard??
Ha if they only new who they were talking to!! Not sure why you would that anyway?? Mate all we can do is keep doing is what we know works, between you and I we have over 30 years experience & plenty of specialty training qualifications in the industry and we know the benefit of Cross Fit style of trianing for our clients.
Cheers on the times for the girls mate, I am heading to the States this week for some training, but when I get back I actually want to arrange to book in a few sessions with you, I still need alot of training on the moves etc and I know you are one of the most qualified to help me out…
Thanks mate, we now head to Perth mid November to try and WIN the Australian P.T Business of the Year for the second year in a row. Be great to win this one again as we are launching a national Succeed Licence for all & any trainers looking for a business model to follow in November.
