Alex, calm and relaxed at the top of a Kettlebell Swing.

Alex’s strength is pretty impressive.  His technique is even more remarkable (front squats, back squats, overhead squats, cleans, and snatches), his background in track and field is evident.  And his ability to move such large loads with such efficiency is a product of his excellent form, concentration, and his focused, yet relaxed state.  Alex has been doing CrossFit for less than 2 months and in addition to the big strength numbers he’s putting up, he’s even gotten pretty good at his kipping pullups!  Next up, muscle ups and sub 403m runs! 

Strong work Alex!
