To be fit, it takes more than coming to the gym and working out your physical being. It takes alot of mental preparation and readjustments of our beliefs systems. Only then can we be convinced and stay motivated to continue on this journey which let me remind you is a LIFETIME not a 2 year blitz to look like John J.Rambo. Also I personally believe that Crossfit and this quest to achieve Elite BEASTLIKE fitness reflects very much on our lives and selves. The principles we learn through the blood, sweat, tears and puke can very much be applied to everything else in life. So as we work our guts out, do think about the lessons you are learning through that work out or experience. here is some thoughts to ponder on by Adam Stanecki *CLICK*. Feel free to look around his site. I think he has some great stuff you might want to take a look at. Once again its a constant joy being with u amazing guys.

BTW here is a useful example on how NOT to improve grip strength.

have a great weekend !

Sincerely trying to be Zen-like,

John-Son

Happy Birthday Andrew Tan!

Wishing our superstar friend a very happy birthday! He has improved in leaps and bounds since his first workout at PushMore. Andrew is an energetic and fun person to hang out with, not to mention, he makes funny comments halfway thru hard workouts. Thanks for being a part of PushMore!

And to mark this special day, here is Andrew's birthday WOD:

Every minute, on the minute, for the 25 minutes, do:

1 Muscle Up

15 Squats

Have fun!

1,2,1,2 check check .... this is John-Son checking in ! If you didnt know, andrew is a PROFESSIONAL SINGER and the object of fantasy to many adolescent and pubescent chinese girls. That is a video labeled Andrew Tans Fan Club. I do not think that is his singing btw..... sounds like a guy. Hmmm maybe the leader of the fan club and post master of that intriguingly stalkerish slideshow is a guy. Yes, Andrew has a WIDE appeal, if u know what i mean. Its been great working out with you buddy. You see, we are after all a friendly bunch. This is because back then Andrew would come alone at pushmore's lonely hours to avoid US =( who he thought was INTIMIDATING. Well Its great to know you took that bold step and have indeed turned into a monster yourself. Happy Birthday once again..... and
P/S, CAN YOU FEEL MY SMILE....lol

                             HAPPY BIRTHDAY JINN "50 CENT" HEAH 

Sorry for the use of the small picture, makes his face almost unrecognisable. Oh, wait a minute ! Thats ok. It's Jinn. he is well known for his well rounded chest and tendencies to Bicep curl in secret. One attribute that stands out the most and gives him his most coveted name "50 Cent". No, its not because of his extraordinary gangster rap skills... 

... but because of his overpowering and dominating nipple size which probably in some twisted way boosts his pressing power and ability to crush J.T more than once a month. 

it is this apparatus where Jinn's  unique nick derive from, the malaysian 50 Cent. 

Jinn is an opportunist, never missing out on any chance or opportunity give to him. Jinn is a model pushmore member as he really utilises every facility this gym has to offer, he even manage to get a little extra out of it. Yes, he got a girlfriend. Not just a girlfriend but one who enjoys his passion and is a constant encouragement in his fitness and health journey. They even managed to successfully quit smoking for a month. yes Ye Kar is Jinn's awesome crossfit girlfriend, where do you find one like that... ONLY AT PUSHMORE. FITTER,FASTER AND STRONGER girlfriends for all! ahaha IF you look really well..... Anyways ... hope you had a great one Jinn ! HOPE WE CAN TOTALLY PURGE THE MUSCLE HEAD IN YOU THIS YEAR ! perhaps more KB swings =) Hope you get in shape for Bali !  HAPPY BIRTHDAY once again from all of us at PUSHMORE.
