Hello Joe, Ray and the rest of the NJMT crew! Hope everyone had a good holidays and is ready for 2009. I have fully healed and training for the last month and half.. looking foward to coming back to the gym in Feb/March... SEE YOU THEN!!! Ian Bailey
Yeah, for me though having fun IS training! Not only does it help keep me fit but it's a release from all the stress, rarely do I feel as good as I do after training. I miss that feeling but I'm back tonight and I'm staring at the clock and trying to do as many things as I can to help time pass by quicker. It's only been a week but it feels like a lifetime, see you guys in a few...
Hey Ray and Joe, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it to the gym all week due to taking up extra shifts at work (working everyday this week). Once I pay these bills I'm going to come back in full force. See you on saturday! In the meantime I'm just going to keep running and doing some lifting. Take care guys.
My door spot for the fall and so far its been sick every Friday... Fierce Fridays @ GuestHouse NYC... Hit me back for comps... Halloween is going to be off the hook....

ITS A BIT LONG BUT A AWESOME READ! FOR MY FELLOW NJMT BROTHERS& SISTERS.....i THINK THIS ARTICLE IS GREAT FOR ANYONE WHO TRAINS
You think you know pain, but you have no idea. The heart thumping, chest expanding, lactic acid burn of your last workout was a walk through the meadow.
Somewhere, there’s a guy who did it in half the time it took you. He suffered. Plasma forced its way into his lungs, causing him to hack on repeat. He choked down bile halfway through, and ended on his back, pupils dilated to the size of dimes.
While you were walking around, telling your friends how hardcore your workout was, Guy Number Two was still collapsed, the prospect of driving home as daunting as climbing K2 during a snowstorm.
When he finally stood up, he didn’t say a word.
CrossFit is a decidedly masochistic pursuit. To be any good at it, you have to enjoy the pain. You have to push back the threshold day after day, until last year’s traumas feel like an hour-long rubdown at the Canyon Ranch. One day, you find a threshold that takes the whole thing just a little too far, and you get scared to go back.
The men and women that decimate your times are not superhuman. They’re not particularly genetically gifted. Hell, most of the top CrossFitters in the world would get absolutely pummeled in your standard game of rugby, buried by larger athletes begat by larger parents.
What differentiates these individuals is not a gift, but an unreasonable desire to push self-imposed suck beyond its logical limits. What comes out the other side becomes legendary.
Like any human pursuit, we seek ways around the hard part. Limited range of motion and new techniques. Dropping the deadlift from the top, bouncing it off the floor. Squatting above parallel and not standing up all the way. Chicken-necking above the chin-up bar, and reviewing the tape to see if we made it.
We want the reward (speed) without the sacrifice (pain).
