Happy birthday wishes going out to CJ this evening.  Although CJ has only been doing CrossFit for just under 8 months, he has seen some dramatic changes to his body composition, as well as his overall fitness and strength.  He even participated in his first CrossFit competition this past Saturday.  The 135# Rx’d weight for thrusters scared away most would be competitors, and forced many others to scale to a lighter weight.  CJ attacked the workout at the prescribed weight and put in an awesome performance!  Aside from doing CrossFit with an incredible amount of integrity and intensity, CJ has also made big changes to his nutrition, making improvements in the quality of food he chooses, as well as controlling sugary and starchy carbs that previously comprised a large portion of his diet.

Lastly, big congrats to CJ for being one of a small handful to get accepted into the Respiratory Therapy program, which he’ll be starting later this year!

 

Post props and birthday wishes to CJ in the comments section.
