March 25, 2009

To be completely honest, I talk a lot of bullshit, so keep reading at your own disclaimer. But to sum me up I am a 20 year old kid that has dedicated my life to the sport I love, Rugby. The barbaric game played by gentlemen. The game has taken me to 12 different states, 4 different teams at all levels, at least over 100 bars, 1 arrest, and plenty of blackeyes, blackouts, bruises, charlie horses, concussions, chipped teeth, sprains, blood, sweat, and a few tears. Most importantly I have gained knowledge. The game has taught me you will only go as far as your body is willing to take you, and your body is only willing to go as far as your mind will take you.

So with that I have rededicated myself to, myself. Hoping it will rub off on everything I do. Leading the charge is a new type of workout that i have been doing for the past 3 weeks. Its called CrossFit, and it sucks so much ass i can't begin to explain it. I am always tired, always sore, i hate going to the gym, the workouts haunt my nightmares, i am taunted by a 35 y/o man who beats the dogshit outta me in 85% of the workouts, and I have learned how much my body cannot do. But it is by far one of the greatest things someone could do to themselves, its a legal drug. My flexibility is 10x as better as it was, my conditioning is finally at a respectable level, ive lost 10#, and ive learned how much my body can do. I cant explain it so go look it up Crossfit.com.

To end this nonsense, i am gonna be mostly posting my crossfit times, rugby experiences, and the rest of that good garbage. Be easy..

  1. Jake, my name is Norberto. I was trained by Jason from July of 08 to December of 08 in Crossfit at St Charles. He's a good trainer and very motivating. I just thought it was funny what you said about starting Crossfit. I remember those beginning days and how much they sucked and how addicting Crossfit is. Congrats on coming into the Crossfit community and good luck with it. You're right, its like a legal drug. Stick with Jason and use him as a mentor. He's a good coach. Welcome to Crossfit.
