Rogue Dog Sled - "Ambitionz Az A Fighta" (Instagram Video)

by Ray Roman in , , ,


Here's a video I posted on Instagram yesterday of me pushing the Rogue dog sled around my backyard. Ever since Instagram has allowed users to upload videos I've used the platform to experiment with editing, and create small skits. It can be a challenge creating something entertaining with the limited 15 second window Instagram gives you for videos, but I enjoy the challenge!


12/22/2013 WOD "Welcome to Hell"

by Ray Roman in , , , ,


Working out is something I've always done ever since I was a teenager. These past couple of years CrossFit has been rapidly growing; some might say CrossFit is the fastest growing sport at this moment in time.

My younger brother has been in love with the sport the past couple years and has picked up the proper technique rather quickly. He's been teaching me his knowledge, and has been a motivation for me to stay active.

Here's the workout regime he put together for me yesterday.

WOD #1
3 rounds for time (10 minute time cap):
-25 meter down-and-back sprints (50 meters total
-10 burpees
-7 clean and jerk at 135lbs.

WOD #2
For time interspersed (17 minute time cap):
-12, 9, 6, 3 deadlifts at 155lbs.
-40, 30, 20, 10 air squares

WOD #3
For time:
-run 2 miles

I woke up Sunday morning to a text message that said "welcome to hell". This WOD might not be hell for the elite athlete, but my brother is aware of my weaknesses, and trying to help me push myself to improve. After completing the first WOD I felt like giving up. It was hell, but I continued on and ended up having a great day!

Although I exceeded the time cap in the first WOD, I decided to complete the workout even though the purpose of a time cap is to increase your intensity to complete the WOD within the given time.

I'm 100% positive if my brother was training with me on this day he would have made me stop and move on, but I was already feeling 'broken' so I forced myself to finish the workout.

The second WOD involving deadlifts and air squats wasn't so bad for me as the clean and jerks were in the first workout. I definitely felt the pain though when I ran 2 miles for the final WOD. Surprisingly, I got one of the best times I've had running in years!

Whatever you want from exercise comes faster with intensity. It’s not volume or duration or heartrate or even discomfort. Do more work in less time (without overdoing it), and you’ll get fitter faster.

The intensity of training CrossFit has allowed me to see results I've been missing over the years by simply just weightlifting. I will continue to post more clips of my training, and hopefully will continue to grow as I share my experience.
