Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 9:12PM I have been quite the follower of the CrossFitGames website lately. I really enjoy watching what all of the different athletes doing CrossFit all over the world compete for the title of the fittest man or woman on the planet. Whenever I see how elite and fit and amazing someone is, two things happen. First, I wonder what there story is, were they in the military, did they go to college, have they been CrossFitting for a long time, are they a natural athlete. I just wonder. Then I think about all of you and your amazing stories. There isn't a day at NRG that you don't impress me. Someone every day shocks me with a new PR or achievement or goal, or attitude.
So with all the athlete profiles on the main games site, I thought that I would profile our athletes. Some of you are kinda shy, well I am not going to allow this anymore. I don't know all of your stats, or lastnames for that matter but I do know a lot about you from the way you work out.
The First athlete we are going to Profile is Alex. If you haven't met Alex, then you haven't spent any evening at the gym.
Alex, has worked with us since Late September. Since then he has lost 38lbs. He has gained pullups, overhead squat, pushups, kettlebell swings, wall balls, focus, teachability, friends, and much more I am sure. He enjoys the Warrior Diet. My favorite thing about Alex is he works for his results. He does extra every day, he works his weakness, he asks questions and he mostly enjoys it. Alex I am sure I am missing lots, maybe you will fill it in for us in the comments.
At the end of last Month, most of us were fully focused on sectionals. However there was another NRG that team that represented at Tackle the tower 2010. I think it was called Fight for Air. Anyway Jill J put the team together and we kicked some but. Check the Pics on the pic page. If you have more, please Email them to me and I will get them added.
Oh, for the WOD
30 Deadlifts, however you wanna do it. You have to do 30 Deadlifts. Thats it. You can do 30 singles at a heavy weight. 15 doubles, 3x10 5x5 +2,2,1,1, If you are unsure, come learn more about the deadlift. You can do behind the back, sumo deadlifts, single leg deadlifts, again take your pic. If you don't know, I will help you.

Good job, Alex!
I miss you all! Taking a week off is harder than it seems. But I'll see you next week!
One more thing about Alex. He is a Doctor Who fan! Fantastic, isn't it?
Lynn - hope you are feeling better.
Alex, you are awesome and a VERY hard worker. You inspire me!
Jill J - Thanks for organizing NRG team for "Fight for Air". You guys did awesome jobs! Hope to be a part of it next year.
i miss crossfit!!
congrats on the stats alex!
Thank you for the kind words. i love crossfit and everyone at NRG!
Hey, James! I love the profile idea. We should have 20 questions or something, because I, for one, don't know much about my fellow athletes (except how much they deadlift and their Grace times....). Like, where do people work? And what, besides Crossfit, do they do for fun?And what is their biggest food weakness? I'm sure other Crossfitters also have interesting questions....I wonder where people are from (if they aren't from SLC) and if they also think that Mary & Tor are bionic. Those are just examples....
Now that the sun is out (kind of) we need to have a Crossfit Party!!
BBQ? Steaks on a stick? dutch oven peach cobbler but paleo style?
Keep up the good work Alex. Thanks for showing us how it's done. :)
