The "T" birthday day?

Travis, your effort and intensity is awesome; you clearly give it your all and by doing so you make other people step up their game. Happy birthday!

TPNovaItsYourBirthdayAndYouCanCryIfYouWantTo, happy birthday buddy! Your passion for CrossFit and for endurance sports is awesome and you are a great resource for people to go to. You're also a great rabbit for people to chase in wods. Treat yourself to Baja and an REI trip today.

TP said...

Thanks gang, it's a pleasure to coach everyday, even the early mornings, my favorite. I love to feed off your energy, so keep up the great work. I'm going to eat Baja for breakfast now, have a good day.

To one of my fave x fit coaches, happy birthday. I love what you do in the box and out. You're all about what you do and the energy is awesome. I'm sure your lady has something wonderful up her sleeve for you so enjoy the birth week. I'll assume you'll be by with some tailoring projects.

Happy happy birthday, tim!!!. I have a feeling this wod is gonna hurt today

Happy Birthday TP!! Love the picture.

Happy birthday both Tim and Travis!

shoeless said...

Happy birthday Travis! It’s been great seeing the intensity you’ve brought to all the wods this year!

Happy birthday Coach Tim! I learned so much from you in the past year, especially at your endurance classes. Particularly, I loved the way you would not only push people to work physically hard, but also teach us how to train intelligently and why consistency is so important. It’s a huge honor for me to call you my coach and friend (and neighbor!).

Travis:

Happy B-Day! Always enjoy the WOD's when you are in!

TP:

You are the man! My fundamental coach - Thanks for all you do. Instead of burpees can I bench press Tim?

T.P. said...

-Ohhh man. - Plentus, real funny guy, I dont know who authorized those pictures to be used, but you must have been banking them for a looooong time because I dont even know where you got them and I thought that I had them hidden.
-Travis, Happy Birthday bro.

Happy Birthday Tim and Travis! Have a great day!!

Travis said...

Happy birthday Tim ! 

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I never thought working out could be so addicting to me. It's the atmosphere at crossfit kop that makes me push so hard. If I don't give it my all I don't feel like I'm doing it properly. 

If anyone wants to do extra burpees I'll be at the 4:30!

Denise said...

Happy Birthday Tim and Travis! I hope you guys have great days! :)

Jen Naspinski said...

Happy Birthday, Travis!

Coach Tim, I always learn so much from you and I appreciate the personal touch you add to coaching. You are a big reason I love CrossFit KOP. ENJOY your day - you know, eat some junk food ; )

So, time for people to be mad at me.

Rx: Every movement is done using the proper weight and FULL range of motion is completed every time. (i.e. your knees touch your ELBOWS, not your triceps or you full lock out every push press)

DC: Basically doing an Rx workout but on 4 of the 50 KTE, you think you may have touched your triceps. Hell, if it is 1 rep, it is DC. If 50 of 50 or some other big number are not performed to range of motion, you are scaling, NOT coming damn close.

Scale: Anything that is not Rx or DC.

Please understand that I am NOT trying to be a dick but rather inforce standards so you know if you are improving.

Say I do Filty50 and I get 28:00 but I know in my heart of hearts that only 20 of my KTE were legit. Say next time I do the WOD, I get 29:30 but I know every single time I touched. This represents IMPROVEMENT and you will never know that unless you are honest with yourself.

I had a conversation with an athlete last week after doing Angie and their comment was, "there is no way I was doing legit pushups before". The reason they said this was because their most recent time was slower than the previous time. I know the athlete is MUCH more fit so I agreed with them.

Do not care about any other person in class. Standards exist for YOU to measure YOUR progress. Be honest with yourself and where you are so you can accurately and precisely know that you are getting better and if you are not, identify where you need work.

thank you.

Stephanie Vincent said...

For the record- I did not give myself a DC. I used a band for KTE...NEC. I would never call that DC. I whole heartedly agree with jason. But I must say I am not a fan of DC to begin with. If I am at the point where I'm only going to be missing a few reps of something for ROM- I will repeat the reps- or call it scaled.

On this same vein- On strength days i would encourage athletes to either only write down their score for a lift with full ROM or write down the score with a notation of ROM next to it (even if one out of 3 you didn't go below parallel lets say.) This too will help with your record keeping over time- and be a truer measure of comparison among athletes.
