The 7 Million Dollar Man.













Top Line: New workouts, new attitude, new look.

The Workout REVAMPED
Don't get me wrong, I love Crossfit. I've been loyal for almost two years running now. But after researching and reading other material about muscle confusion techniques I am now branching out from crossfit.

My Background: My experience is both clinical and experience based. I have studied kinesiology in both Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy Asst. programs. This gave me the basis for movement of the human body. But even before college I was involved in traditional American weight lifting to later circuit training. During my stint in circuit training I became immersed in the book Expressing the Human Body (part of the Bruce Lee library).

Later I found, in my opinion, the best dvd workout ever The Pit. After following that regiment for a year I was exposed to Crossfit. I was hooked instantly. I joined after my first workout and have been checking several crossfit sites everyday ever since. I have taken ideas from: oneworld crossfit, diablo crossfit, crossfit dupage, crossfit endurence and montgomery county crossfit.

New Style: Once again it is time to move on and expand. I will take some of the concepts of crossfit and add other aspects such as isometric and static hold techniques. My style of workouts will be dubbed "Koshi-Mikkusu Jutsu." Roughly translating from Japanese to mean "attacks against muscles remix." I think this name is very appropriate because the workouts will constantly challenge muscles to fatigue and it's truly a remix because these workouts are a mix of all the knowledge I have learned over the years to make a entirely new technique. Please follow my progress as I try another approach to overall fitness.

New workouts will be posted starting this week and leave a comment of the new format!

Building Parallettes on the Cheap

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late post but I finally got to put up the final product of building parallettes. I followed the Crossfit Journal Issue 13 in the article entitled: Really Cool Homemade Parallettes by Greg Glassman. The process was really fun and easy. Altogether it only took about an hour to cut all the pieces and cementing all the parts together. And for all the materials the final price came to.... $23! I recommend these babies to anyone!

The importance of gymnastics training is the advancement in proprioception. When spacial awareness is increased, the athlete becomes more balance in all facets of exercises... hopefully soon I should be able to do handstand push-ups.
