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.

  20. 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....
