In Their Own Words...
In elementary school, I was the last picked for kickball. In junior high track and field, I came in last in the long jump, high jump, shot put, sprints, hurdles, and long distance runs. So you can imagine my surprise when I started working out at Petranek Fitness and subsequently won the Petranek Fitness Challenge. I’ve had other trainers, and I've gotten stronger, but it wasn’t until I started training with Andy that I began to build skills, coordination, and balance. My body is slowly but surely beginning to cooperate with my mind.

Franklin Hill WOD


We took the crew training for the CrossFit Games to the biggest hill in our neighborhood.



Leroy & Leyon tackle CrossFit


We invited Leyon & Leroy in for a CrossFit workout - their first. We knew it would be an ass-kicker... and it was. The following day, Jonesy and I decided to give it a whirl. This is what happened...



8” & 12” stackable Plyo Boxes for Box Jumps


We embarked on a three-month journey to create a better design for a plyo box. This is what we came up with. In this video, Tony Grover, the chief woodworker/master craftsman, describes the boxes themselves and how to make them.



Taping your hands for pull-ups


This is part two of my video series of taking care of your hands - how to make a protective tape wrap for your hands. This is the best method I know for protecting your hands (or existing rips) from workouts with a lot of pull ups. Watch and use... and don't forget to keep your calluses trimmed (from part 1)!



Hand Care (part 1) - trimming calluses


Take the time to care for the skin on your hands or they will literally keep you out of the game!



“Nancy”


The workout:

5 rounds for time of:
400m Run
15 Overhead Squats - 95 pounds

We shot this at the finals of our "Nancy" Challenge at the Santa Monica High School Track. Was a lot of fun to do the workout at a completely new/different location - and surprisingly not really faster, running around the track.



“Eva”


The workout:

5 rounds for time of:
800m Run
30 Kettlebell Swings - 2 pood
30 Pull-ups

In my opinion, this is one of the most difficult CrossFit Girl workouts. It chews you up and spits you out. The 800m runs for me become "rest" from the swings and pull-ups.
FYI - this isn't the original music - we were forced to change it due to copyright infringement issues with YouTube.



Heavy Thrusters & Double Unders


The workout:

10 Thrusters, 135 lbs
50 Double Unders
8 Thrusters
40 Double Unders
6 Thrusters
30 Double Unders
4 Thrusters
20 Double Unders
2 Thrusters
10 Double Unders

We set this up in our neighbor's parking lot so we'd have room for everyone to do this workout at the same time. Everyone that could used 135 pounds for the thrusters or a weight that was heavier than what was "comfortable".
