You see "zero" and you think it's a failure. But it so isn't. This test is FUCKING HARD! Kudos on even getting near cracking that goose egg. Mike, the thing about this test is that it’s so skewed.

Great job! Sometimes it's hard to calibrate where you'll actually end up. Next time I'll bet you hit the 28 or come damn close. I might be able to crack the goose egg by June. I'm about 3 months into whipping my fat middle aged ass back into shape from being totally sedentary for too long. I've been mixing up heavy lifts with Concept2 intervals with good success. Right now I'm lifting somewhere around 2/3rds of what you're lifting. I'll see how things look by April or May. Johnny that’s a damn respectable score. Great job!

I'm going to hop around some. I like a heavy regimen, so I'm going to do Joe DeFranco's "Westside for Skinny Bastards" thing for a while (I'm not skinny, but I like Westside training and WSB condenses the normally 4-day routine to 3 days, and it's more applicable for athletes with other activities in the mix). I want to keep working on stuff like HSPUs and those CF kipping pullups in the meantime. And if I can lose some weight, all the better for the bodyweight stuff.

I know ... put your head above the parapet and dare to make money from fun stuff like fitness/training and some people will hate + be jealous but wow! I have to admit I was saddened to find video footage showing him to be out of shape... hmmm. Who know what his issues are, and let he who is without blame cast the first... hammer, tyre, kettlebell, or large stone I say... Started training for the competition this morning guys..Concept 2 intervals +. clean and jerks + mile hard run followed by my version of muscle ups, find a small building with a angled roof, jump and grab finger tips on... pull up then drive up to full extended dip position IE able to get on roof.. great fun.. TRAIN HARD JOHNNY and JEFF ;-) OK guys so I’ve been researching Mr Glassman and Crossfit and wow some people DO NOT like him… I know … put your head above the parapet and dare to make money from fun stuff like fitness/training and some people will hate + be jealous but wow!

I've been blessed with his presence on a few occasions, although it has been some time. I probably do CF 2-3 days per week and throw in some core/cardio stuff in between to let my body recover. I am on Twitter and just gave you and Craig a follow. Feel free to reciprocate: @jeffrosecfp. Looking forward to the updates! Oh Pukie.

I'm on and off with CF. It's so hard on a metabolic (puke-inducing) basis that I often don't feel like it for months at a time and just lift heavy. So I'm probably due to step it up some, which will help with my scores. Are you on Twitter? You can keep up with me and Craig's progress on there. Thor just seems to hang out on the blog, I guess.

Wait, are you my long lost brother? Dude, that's definitely not a fail. I've considered myself to be a "Crossfitter" since I started it in 2005 when deployed to Iraq, and I've never attempted the "How Fit are You Challenge". Looking at the requirements, it looks as if you and I would be neck and neck. :) HSPU's and MU's have always been an extreme weakness for me, so I might be drawing some high goose eggs there, too. June 1st, huh? You might have to add me to that challenge list. ;-) Love when I come across another Crossfitter, who is a blogger, too; nonetheless. Wait, are you my long lost brother?

Anyway, download and read this: http://johnnybtruant.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CF_How_Fit_Are_You.pdf And then just be prepared to do it in June. It's up to you whatever you want to do in the meantime to train for it! Wow, you really like this blog.
