New Year new ideas.

First off let me explain the title to the blog. It comes out of the Bible and centers around one man named Benaiah. If you want to read the whole story then turn to the Old Testament to 2 Samuel 23:20-21. The gist of the story is that on a snowy day this one man, Benaiah, saw a lion go into a pit and followed it in. I repeat FOLLOWED it in. Doesn't say how he did it but he comes out of the pit alive.

Who in their right mind would do that? Well someone who is wired differently does. A risk taker, go getter, or whatever you want to call him. It is only a little passage in the big old Book, but you can take a lot away from the verses. I took away that you have to take chances, and really take them not just saying you will.

That is the reason for the name, and now to get this whole thing started.

I am not the best blogger, but since it is a new year I will make it a point to keep it up. This year is going to be a great year for me and my future partners. Helping to expand Crossfit Charlotte's name as well as our own will be the main goal. Already have many potential clients waiting for us to get something started in a few areas.
Can't wait to see this take off.

So for this year I am taking my training more seriously this year. After recovering from nagging injuries of my hip and shoulder, I am now on the right track to really
train again.

Hoping to get back into fighting shape and also playing shape for rugby this year. Going to try and take up both again in the upcoming months. Now onto the training.

After talking with other people and learning from some of the greatest coaches around, I found out that programming for yourself is not the best idea, so with that being said the programming I will be following will be that of Optimum Performance Training.

Otherwise known as OPT in the general Crossfit circles.
He is a highly sought after coach, well respected by those in Crossfit and outside. Many top level trainees use his Big Dawg programming to gear up for the CF Games and other competitions year round. By seeing all those results, and reading such great reviews I decided on him, now that I have the time to put in to do multiple workouts daily.

Well enough typing I have to go to sleep to get ready to train later today.

Train Hard and Chase Lions.
