Epic indeed! So stoked

LoL - yea that's funny and worth being posted under a super obscure alias...please probe for the answers to this burning question...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

I don't think Leo "attacks" anyone, he just communicates differently. Attacking is not his style...honestly this isn't my conversation to get involved in and I don't know you or the details; but I will say that just showing up on his blog and throwing this out there based on zero facts and no evidence is straight up juvenile and weak...you should seriously reconsider your approach on this as this sorta makes you look like a follower...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Sad to miss this one... See you all after Christmas. Have a good time with your friends and family!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterChris H2

I'm just gonna throw out a perfect quote from an old classic (paraphrased & edited for the squeamish):

...Understand people are gonna hate you regardless. Get it out of your head; that fantasy world where people don't hate on you. You gotta be grateful. You need haters. What do you think a haters job is... TO HATE. So let them do their jobs. If you've got 14 people hatin on you, you gotta find a way to get to 16 by Christmas. If there's any haters that don't have someone to hate on, feel free to hate on me... -Katt Williams (very funny guy)

Maybe this "V" is someone who got snuffed by Leo in the qualifier (ripping off an idea from a movie by the way on the whole "V" thing). Just a thought. Show a little respect for yourself and at least post your name if you're going to make unsubstantiated claims. Slandering people without the spine to stand by your own words is really a bitch move.

Mmm....I love the smell of sour grapes in the morning.

Not gonna be in today. Jackhammering tile all day (last day I have the jackhammer) then xmas eve service tonight. I'ma gonna try squatzilla on Thursday.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJames F

hey folks. im going to be in town enjoying the florida sunshine. I will be at the 6pm WOD to train with your athletes. I am looking forward to meeting everyone...

Well, like V stated, he's a troll, and trolls are not worth any of our time to even acknowledge. Especially with outrageous claims such as his. So I suggest the rest of the blog ignore his drivel.

In other news looking forward to his WoD, going to see if my 4 mojito diet will carry me through this. This diet was heavily suggested by Ron so I hope it works.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJon

I just left the box with mixed emotions. At 7:10 I was bummed when I remembered there is no 7am class on Wednesdays (I'm usually out of town Wed mornings) However, I wasn't THAT bummed when I looked at the WOD a minute ago! Can't make it tonight - we have 7 boys under the age of 10 at our house through Christmas - That's going to be the hardest few WOD's ever...It will be a stretch to get there at 12 today as well - I'll try but may be late if I can make it at all.

V - Don't be a hater player. I can name at least 100 people in our family who love Leo and have his back.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJay S

Wow, I wake up and this is some epic shit going on right here. For everyone who missed it - some troll under an alias "V" was yet again accusing me of being on steroids, which makes me feel real good & swole! Sorry if you were curious to read his epic comments but I erased them for I can't stand trolls on my blog.

V - if you're reading - my email is leo@crossfitevolution.com - if you want any communication with me - send it there. All your posts here will be erased for again - I don't allow trolls on my blog. And by the way I don't need to explain myself. Everyone knows why I'm so jacked & tan!

Mike - that's pretty good. I don''t feel popular enough yet to have 16 haters although I certainly have at least doubled that number since last year.

Jay - glad you weren't too disappointed :D

Jon - sometimes they can be a source of laughter & proof of being popular. This one is both. First I'm popular, second I'm fit as shit, third I'm huuuge! Jackpot!

Ron - sorry but for once you're wrong. I do indeed attack! It's the RAGE!

December 23, 2009 | Registered CommenterLeo S.

Leo - yea, I totally made that up, I laughed whilst typing every word, you're totally an attacker...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

I'm just sayin...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMike P

Man, I missed all the excitement. I checked the blog at 8:45 last night and there was nothing, I check now to find I missed some fun. Oh well.

Sean B., I found some competition for you. Check out the main site today. It took me some time to figure out what was happening in the picture. We need to se this up for you. Check it out, Extreme Box Jump

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterscott m

Wow, looks like I missed all the fun. V seems like a real winner to me. As Leo always says, the only people who complain are the people who reeeeeeally suck. And V, you suck. Grow some balls will ya? The one and only reason you could possibly hate Leo is you are jealous. And I don't blame you. And I am assuming you said something along the lines of nobody likes Leo, he is a mean person yada yada yada. Well this gym has over 100 members and each and everyone loves Leo and appreciates everything he does. Oh and not to mention we all have his back "V." (on an aside, I think I just figured out what V stands for, hmmm) Got anything else? Anywho, maybe one day when you find your juevos you can come into the box and share a WOD with us, since you are so all knowing and awesome. I beg you.

Besides if anyone is on steroids at this gym. . . it is clearly Brittani.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJugs

I wish more people would accuse me of being on Steroids!! LOL. I work my butt off to try to look like Im on Juice. Plus my tan needs some work also. Signed, Dominick from Crossfit Delray Beach... Oh and yes, Crossfit Evo. We still read your freaking blog, check your workouts, and are scouting your gym a month after the Iron Curtain Challange. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDom P

I always knew Britt was a juicer.

Scott I'm definitely down with trying that sometime.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSean B

Dom - yeah I don't think your tan is quite up to the standards :D Hope you're training hard for the March Sectionals!

Will - no V actually didn't call me mean or nothing. I think he just felt righteous anger after what I've said about his idols/friends/people he knows/etc.

Scott - yeah you missed out but it wasn't too important.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

Will - agreed, Britt is definitely juicing...

you know, no one will ever accuse me of taking steroids, no matter what I do I will NEVER be tan enough to raise suspicions...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Ron - yeah, but they've called you big & fit. It's not that far...not that far at all. Your day of glory is coming!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

very true, I never thought I'd ever hear that, who knows, my skin may darken up before we know it...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Or just walk around with uber amounts of fake tan like Christina Aguilera

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

I cant wait til Britt sees what you guys posted!! Big Will... you are in trouble :)

So, for the record, for those that read the blog but don't know us, no one is juicing
in our gym... except maybe a couple peeps that won't stop drinking fresh squeezed
fruit. :)

Dom- see you soon, in Jan for the gathering :)

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMonique

i want to clarify something. I am one of the 100 members. and I HATE leo. just want to make that point of clarification.


oh and I hate his brother andrew also.


and now that Im thinking if it, I hate will also, and k9, and erik, and uhhhh scott, ron, rob, king james

actually I guess I hate all you pricks.....

see you at 6

and who is "the big S"????????????????????

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterramzi

Monique - don't ruin my reputation ;D

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

Monique - you're totally killing Leo's thunder here, how can he pull off the jacked & tan juice head persona if you're out here telling people he's actually not using the roids? you guys need to collaborate on your stories...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

get off the blog, finish your wod, and get home!!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMonique

ugh oh!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Monique- No one is juicing in our gym? You mean you think I got this 5'9" 157 pound frame naturally?

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterErik S

haha Monique I was there when he posted it.
Ron - you wish I was on steroids bc then you'd have an excuse for having the same size biceps as me! :P

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBritt

Britt - :(

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

haha, CF Evo WoD comments never disappoint! Epic, for sure =P

So, another WoD at CF South Bay in Torrance, CA: "The 12 Days of Christmas"
1 100M Run
2 Deadlift (125#)
3 ring dips (w/ blue band)
4 Box Jumps (20″)
5 Pull Ups (w/ small band)
6 Overhead Weighted Walking Lunges, each leg (10# dumbbells)
7 Man Makers (10# dumbbells)
8 Kettlebell Swings (16kg)
9 Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift Highpull (16kg)
10 Push Ups
11 Toes to bar (err, knee-ups in my case)
12 Handstand Push-Ups

The workout should be done exactly like the song. Start with one 100M run, then 2 deadlifts and one 100M run, then 3 muscle ups and 2 deadlifts and one 100M run, etc.

>> 1:08:04. Suuuuuuuucked. They do one of these crazy workouts a month, in honor of whatever holiday happens to be in that month or something.

Fun box, and nice, helpful people... I'd def. come back to visit. =)

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnne

What are "man makers"?

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLisa H

Sweeeet! This confirms for me I am at the right CF gym. You have to be pretty important to have haters. Come to think of it...I also hate Leo...especially when he yells out "no rep" and tells me to put more weight on the bar. Will--thanks for the intel on Britt. I always wondered where she got her "superhuman girl power strength". Here I thought it was from hard work.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

Lisa - I'm not totally for certain, but I think man makers are like burpees done with a barbell/dumbbells...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Julie - lol. That's funny.

Anne - I remember seeing that wod about a year ago. It's crazy! Glad you're having fun!

Lisa - it's like a burpee but you do it with dumbbels & then power clean & push press them instead of a jump at the end of a burpee.

Britt Vs Ron - EPIC!

I love the hate. I love the fact that even hate in our gym is a hilarious occurence.

BW 203.5 - going to drop my cals by 200 from 3000 to even out the weight a bit. 3000 is a bit much.

9:53 rx'ed on the EPIC WoD. That messed me up. Still a bit shaky 2 hrs later. Couldn't actually finish my food - half of it is sitting on the plate right now. Will try again in about 15 mins.

Very good & entertaining day.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

holiday plans gone astray :(
we will be home for the holidays. I am sooooo sad now.

I need some m'f'ing coconut shrimp and several mojitos!!
"who's with me? who's bloody with me!?" (V for Vendetta)

bahama breeze is my friend :)

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMonique

Anne - that workout sounds awesome!!

Wow, this blog is outta control!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBritt

wait wait wait, Monique is V???? LMAO

I'd be down for watching you eat shrimp again...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Plot thickens!

V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

EPIC movie! Love it!

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

me & Leo are thinking about hitting BB tonight. that way, tomorrow, I'll
just sleep it off.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMonique

and, NO, I was not the earlier V poster... never even saw the post
I was quoting a line from the movie, and V was not the speaker,
it was that tv producer/commander that V kills.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMonique

Sean - I took your comment down merely because it doesn't apply. I'll tell you in person what's the dealeo.

December 23, 2009 | Registered CommenterLeo S.

Cool see you in 30.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSean A.

9:28 Rx

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAndrew

17:11 Rx ugh

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBritt

10:43 Rx (BEAST MODE!!)

everyone, have a great holiday, be safe, enjoy it whatever you do...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Stopped the clock right around 10:15. Not sure how I feel about my performance on this one. I gotta push Grace harder, something about exhaustion during C&J's is worse than exhaustion doing other things.

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJugs

Leo - post the pictures up before you officially begin your holiday...

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRon M.

Ron - I will early in the morning before we leave.

We are going to be out of town for a few days - going to have some fun on the beach. :D

December 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeo S

yea, you better do it...

lol, have a great time my friends...keep me up to date on the potential consumption of coconut shrimp...
