Lots of talk lately about competing in various CF competitions…There really is only 1 requirement – desire. If you want to compete you should! Sure, people are always thinking stuff like “but I can’t do chest to bar” or “once I get my squat up to xxx” or “I can only clean xxx”. Whatever motivated you to want to compete is the reason that you should. Nearly all CF competitions are open to athletes of ALL LEVELS. Everything is scalable!! I’ve never met anybody that was on the fence, thinking about competing, that went through with it and then said “I wish I hadn’t done that”. I have however, heard several people say that they wish they had given it a go.
Are you nervous? That’s normal.
Worried about finshing last? Nobody will remember if you do anyway.
Think you’re not ready? Define ‘ready’.
Requirements to compete? Desire.
Results if you don’t? Regret.
3,2,1 – GO!

Just to clarify. If you have no desire to compete, you shouldn’t – and this isn’t directed at you. Most of our athletes are perfectly happy coming to the gym, working out and going home. This is awesome and is the foundation of what we do at Motor City. We don’t want people to feel that they ‘should’ be competing. Some people just wanna look good nekkid. 🙂
I signed up!! I’m officially in!!!
Saweet!
Well said JD and I think we should make shirts with ur ?’s and answers. Awesome and again well said.
nice post JD…..
Well put JD! Yeeeah Stema!!!
Coming from a person who doesn’t want to compete(even a little bit)….I thought the article was great. I always love what you write….no offense taken what so ever!!!!
Soooooo…….maybe…. if you’re someone who did take offense…..you should really consider competing…….cuz maybe you’re a closet competitor.
I’m not drunk I swear.
Well said J.D.
Joanna, I’m betting you had a cocktail on board for that post, LOL.
Very well said JD and I think that was a great idea to make a shirt~I want one!!!
Sorry Jo….gonna have to go with Gunny on this one…. 🙂
I’m in. So, if coming in last place is stopping you from competing you don’t have that excuse anymore. 🙂 No regrets! I’m sure as hell not sitting back and watching you guys have all the fun!!!
