Tamas takes on Europe

Dheepesh Bhatt - CrossFitOM

As some of you may or may not know Tamas has been on a world wide "adventure" for both work and vacation over the last 42 days but that hasn't stopped him from visiting CrossFit boxes and keeping up with his workouts. We received this message from him today.

"Aimee & Jason - I thought you'd like to know that CFKOP represents in CrossfitOM in Mumbai, India. Dheepesh Bhatt, who's an incredible coach and athlete keeps an amazing box running in this great but tough city. Pictured above is Dheepesh proudly showing off our KOP T-shirt I gave him as a gift. I also made sure we have CF KOP shirts proudly displayed in boxes I visited in London, Budapest, Vienna and Heidelberg... I'm so looking forward to returning to KOP after my travels in September!"

Tamas has kept an amazing log of his workouts and journey click here to check out his blog.

Very cool Tamas!

Nice blog Tomas. It must be hard doing some of these workouts alone. You are very motivated and determined. Especially modifying for availbel equipment and pullup bars. I'm looking forward to your return.

Jason Lyons said...

Nina...you had 95x5? You should have found your 1RM and gotten on the board. Wasn't that your 1RM when you started? BEAST

Melanie said...

Does anyone have the need for a FREE cordless phone for their home or office? If you want it, it's yours. Just email me: melanie.anson1@gmail.com

Kristin T. said...

Charles said...

When they say that somewhere out there, some chick is warming up with your max, they are talking about Nina.

Mike P said...

Nice job tonight, gang. Especially fun round of dodgeball, and some lovely sun salutations despite the rain.

You are one strong dude.

Got 65x5 and 70x4 over here in east Hampton. I feel like pistols get better the more you do them....the first 5 I had to redo cause I was feeling shaky. Then in addition I did a quick 21-15-9 pushup situps squats....didn't have a timer so no time but my cousin wanted me to take her through a quick burner in addition to todays wod....
