So yesterday I went out to CrossFit 810 to check out Joe DeGain’s place. If you’re in the area and want a good workout and great coaching, stop in!
Thanks for havin’ me out Joe!

We were also talking a bit about proper recovery yesterday. Well, as it turns out – Mark Mondary completed the rope climb WOD yesterday with a bit of a unexpected issue. His forearms actually swelled up to the size of softballs! Who knew that climbing rope was taxing on the grip?? I had to think of something quick so I had him do this…

And Hippie’s boot camp is going strong as well. Check out Dick Kanevil doing a box jump here! (he’s actually jumping onto that big ol’ box and if you look close enough, you can tell)


Oh thats just great! JD joined a crossfit gym in Grand Blanc thats a 40 min drive away and I still cant get muscle-ups on a regular basis. Come on JD, you gotta make a choice between gym trainer or super-buff hired crossfit video demonstrator for upnorth hillbilly boxes!!!!!!!!! haha just kiddin Capt Joe!
This is horrible news! Mondary…you better keep those pups in the freezer till Sunday!!! Yikes!
If Marks experience was anything like mine, it was also extremely painful. Have to say one of the more unpleasant Crossfit experiences i have ever had…….held mine under cold running water for several minutes…..what a smoker WOD.
The photo of Mark would be great on the main site…if only he were topless
I hope your arms are feeling better Mondary!!!
Dr C. called it. Mondary’s new nickname…..POPEYE!!!!!!!
I think we should call him Olive Oil instead! At least until he gets an anchor tattoo on those forearms.
