Fun while it lasted....

This is a bit of a late post, but I figured I'd close things out over here. The Acxiom Wellness Center has had to institute some new rules to protect their facilities and equipment from (further) damage. Among these rules are two that make it impossible for us to do CrossFit 'our way' in a group format. These are:

• Any olympic lifting or is variants (power clean, push press, etc) must be done within the confines of the squat rack. There is only one.
• No barbells in the aerobics area. Period.

These new rules placed us in a position of having to either A: drastically change the program to omit these lifts or B: find another gym. So find another gym is what we did. Anyone interested in joining, feel free to drop me a line.

In the meantime, I'll be tracking our progress under a new blog with a new name. I've chosen the name "Infidel Crossfit" for our new blog. The definition of Infidel is as follows:

in·fi·del (ĭn'fĭ-dəl, -dĕl') n.
1. Offensive. An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam.
2. One who has no religious beliefs.
3. One who doubts or rejects a particular doctrine, system, or principle.

I've chosen the title for the third definition, based on our rejection of the rules and doctrines that have been hammered into our heads by the quick-fix, fitness magazine, ab roller, thighmaster fitness industry.

That and that's what the terrorists call us americans, and screw those guys. I AM an infidel.
