Becoming A Ripped Swedish Welder

i don’t really know how this chain of events started. maybe i’ve been boring myself since i graduated college and jumped into the Real Adult Working World. maybe it’s just my attempt at spicing up the mundane, day to day, … Continue reading

Busy Week… Already Exhausted

Death by Deadlift

my soreness from wednesday had temporarily subsided after friday’s warm up, which consisted of the usual 400m run and then a combination of terrible things: bear crawl and push ups across the gym, jump squats across the gym, lunges, more … Continue reading

CrossFit Day 1… Aftermath
