Goal Setting 2013

New Years' resolutions are a famous waste of time, filling gyms for a few weeks or controlling portion sizes for an equally short period.  Instead, perhaps you can gain a tactical advantage by using this time for "goal setting." 
                                          CrossFit LE's Greg Amundson has a goal setting channel
                                          on YouTube. 

Find an achievable skill that you can achieve in a reasonable period of time and start working on it:  kipping pullups, body weight squat, a specific Fran time, a muscle up, whatever you need to do.  Nutrition goals can work about the same: add more healthy fish, eliminate all grains, etc. 

Organized WODs begin next week.  Keep working hard on your own. 

                          It is too late to ask Santa for a muscle up, so you will have to work for it.

Santa?

We hope that Santa was good to you, but if you were on the naughty list or Santa was just not listening, get over the the PSTC Cop Shop to buy yourself a CrossFit Indomitable t-shirt.  The shop is open from 8:30 to 4:00 Monday through Friday.  They are $20 for S-XL and $22 for XXL. 

                     The only color at the store is charcoal like the Model T, which is also a classic.

Generally Physically Prepared (GPP)

“Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish
the specialist.”

CrossFit Indomitable honors the warrior athletes that performed amazing work last week.  Our objective is GPP.  Police officers never know what the physical demands of the shift will be, so they must be ready for the unknowable.

Rowing the Concept 2 Rower


Due to intense operational demands at CCSO only instructors from CrossFit Indomitable and CrossFit 1850 were able to attend the great rowing training from Portland Firefighter David Friedricks.  It was intense and worthwhile instruction and all the instructors came away as better rowers and better coaches. It also is a reminder of what a superb tool the C2 rower is for your metabolic conditioning.  More rowing WODs in our future!

December 7th: Celebrating and Remembering Indomitable Will


                     
              FILE - In this U.S. Navy file photo, a small boat rescues a USS West Virginia crew member from the water after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941 during World War II. Two men can be seen on the superstructure, upper center. The mast of the USS Tennessee is beyond the burning West Virginia. On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese Imperial Navy navigator Takeshi Maeda guided his Kate bomber to Pearl Harbor and fired a torpedo that helped sink the USS West Virginia. President Barack Obama on Thursday Dec. 6, 2012 issued a proclamation declaring Dec. 7 a day of remembrance in honor of the 2,400 Americans who died at Pearl Harbor. He urged federal agencies, organizations and others to fly their flags at half-staff. (AP Photo, File)
71 years ago Americans at Pearl Harbor showed that in spite of terrible losses, they were idomitable.

Nutrition--Soda=Bad Part II

Today's post from Outlaw Crossfit has a link to an interesting blog that expresses some strong feelings about soda and sugar substitutes.  The accuracy of the claims made have not all been locally  tested and verified, but nobody ever got sick from lack of soda (diet or sugar), so you are probably better off avoiding sodas altogether.

Also, there are some potty words used, but nothing worse than you might hear responding to a bar fight or a domestic.
