Crossfit: difference between doing it and being taught to do it

There is a a huge different between doing crossfit and being taught to do crossfit. I hear many people speculating about how crossfit is dangerous and not good for the body. what they seem to not realize due to the lack of knowledge about crossfit is that all workouts can be scaled down to fit anyone's needs. the only way it becomes unsafe or bad for the body is if they haven't been trained specifically in crossfit. It would be like having an average citizen become a nascar driver without having specific training in race car driving.That would cause unsafe driving and risk for injury, just like a untrained cross-fitter. The key to crossfit is having good trainers with knowledge and experience to train you.I find it hard to believe that crossfit is so bad for you when most firefighters, policeman, and armed service members do it. These jobs demand these people to be in excellent shape because their job depends on it. These types of jobs are to protect people, so it wouldn't make much sense to have them doing something bad for there bodies or unsafe. Until you have actually been taught the foundational movements of crossfit by a certified trainer and have been trained at a crossfit gym you should probably keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself.

Sniper performance crew now has another contest under their belts!!! Jer "Irongut" Bulyar came through with a sweet performance, 1st place in the arm over arm truck pull. (2009 Toyota Tundra Truck). Sniper came through with two first places in the arm over arm truck pull and the log/sandbag deadlift. He ended up getting 3rd Place overall. Both had PR's on the stone loading event hitting a 280lb stone!!! BLEE was not able to compete due to an injury from the Washington's Strongest Apple (2nd Place), but is recovering quickly. He will possibly be making a trip down to the swamp lands (Louisiana) to compete in Strongman Nationals!! We will be posting some footage as soon as TREBILLS Productions edits it. I want to thanks everyone who came out to support us. We really appreciate it!!!! A big thanks to everyone.

Sorry for the delays

I know it has been a while since anything has been posted, and we apologize for that, but Sniper has been busy with life's daily stressors and lots of work, and has not had the time. So I'm here to say that as soon as he is back (hopefully at the end of the week), new videos will be posted, including the remaining strongman competition footage, as well as Sniper flipping the 515lb tire 50 times in under four and half minutes (CRAZY!). Also, new things with SniperPerformance are our T-Shirts. I came up with the design logo, Sniper approved, and a good friend of mine had it drawn up. Blue is for the guys, pink for girls. Hope you like them. Well for now keep checking in, we'll be back with sample workouts and other good stuff soon. Thanks for hitting us up. - J Beezy

Event Training May 14th

We focused our training session on strongman events. We warmed up on the 515lb tire doing 5 sets of 5 reps then taking a quick water break and repeating it one more time. We also adding a little challenge by hitting the tire on a incline which proved to increase the difficulty. Then we headed back into the gym and hit the Log for one rep Max's. After completing that we did two sets of 5 reps around 180lb. Then our focus was on the farmer walk which is a true test of grip strength. So we warmed up with about 105lb each hand, then hit 200lb each hand and lastly tried to push the limit by hitting 245lb which was a great challenge. All together it was a great training session and thanks to J-Beezy for setting the bar by having us really push it on the tire.

Becoming a Succesful Unit

One thing that I have figured out through many years of training is that you need to surround yourself around positive training partners. I have trained with both Blee and J Beezy now for about 5 years. During those years we have influenced each other through hard work outs (5am during college haha Blee loved those days), sharing knowledge and helping each other push ourselves to the limit. One thing I know is that when we step foot in the gym, we cut all the everyday bullshit aside and try to better each other. If you want to succeed surround yourself with training partners that train for function, form, consistency, and that bring the utmost intensity to the table every training session. Become a unit that can rely on each other and be just as excited for your partners PR as they would be for you!!! Shout out to my Eburg training partner Kellen who always brings tremendous intensity to the table!!!!! Thanks to all who have influenced me through my journey to get stronger while staying functional.

Life

Life is crazy sometimes. You get people that bitch and moan on a daily basis instead of appreciating life. Don't get me wrong everyone needs to vent and release some negative stuff. I would be the first to say that I release my negative things. But appreciate the simple fact that you are capable of lifting a weight, putting your shoes on , feeding yourself etc. Look at life as a gift, be thankful for all the ups and downs. Without the ups and downs you wouldn't be who you are today. So instead of talking to your friend about how shitty life is going, do yourself a favor and find something positive to say or do about your day. If that means running an extra mile, getting one more rep on a lift, motivating a friend to hit a personal best, whatever it is just do it. Ask yourself: Are you going to stay where your at today or find a way to better yourself. Its all up to you!!!

Writing Checks and Cashing Them

Today was the day to set some PR'S (personal records). Or what I like to call writing checks and cashing them. what I mean by that is I told my fellow lifting partners (B-LEE, J-BEEZY) what my goals were for today and if I achieve them, then I have cashed them. Let me tell you, we all wrote checks and cashed them today!!!!! Been looking foward to this workout session all week. Went and picked up Brandon from T-Town and heading for B-TOWN. Got to Bremerton Crossfit Gym and had to grab a bite to eat at subway. After that we began warming up on the concept rower. Hit some banded hyperextensions and were ready to go. We all came and conquered the training session today!!!! Our focus today was on the deadlift, stones, 515lb tire and rolling thunder for grip strength. Check out the videos......
