I’ve been training for over a decade and I’ve never experienced a better workout than I did in my CrossFit workouts at the gym. I’ve never experienced better motivation than I did in my CrossFit workouts with Dr. Ben Smith. He was the first to say I wasn’t the only one who wanted to improve my body, and he never stopped pushing me to do so.
Ben Smith was a big part of what CrossFit really started off with when he opened the gym in 1995. I remember him telling me that when he first started, nobody knew what CrossFit was or how to train for it. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to make CrossFit what it is today. Ive seen more than a few people come and go from CrossFit workouts, and he never stopped pushing them to try harder and do more.
When Ben was diagnosed with ALS in 2004, I told him that I wanted to be his partner and that I would help him reach his goal of living a purpose-driven life. He kept encouraging me to keep pushing and to continue the challenge of training harder. He was my partner in CrossFit then, and he’s still my partner now. Ben has made it his life’s work to improve the lives of others, and I’m very proud to be his friend and teammate.
In CrossFit, there is no secret to success. Whether it’s just becoming better and stronger, or simply being able to lift a heavy weight more precisely and consistently, it’s all about training and progress. Even at his lowest I was able to train and improve by leaps and bounds, and this is the same for Ben. I see him every day, pushing himself to achieve goals that I could never imagine him taking on himself. So I’m proud of Ben.
On a whole other level, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope you enjoy the trailer. The way the trailer is written, it feels like a world of death. You can’t blame him for that. But I’d prefer not to see it, because I’d like to see what happens when the world of death becomes more awesome and exciting. And so I’d like to see it more. It’s not that I’m not grateful for the trailer.
The trailer is very good, but the fact that it’s about a little boy who’s only just made it bigger than his parents’ time-lapse movie makes it quite good, especially with the first trailer. It’s not a new story, but still, I think it’s a good one.
This is what I was talking about when I talked about the “death-dance” in the main trailer. Ben is the boy whose parents are trapped in a world where they have only ever existed in a day. He wakes up on Deathloop’s party island, and wakes up to the horrible reality of knowing he is, in fact, the boy whose parents only existed in a day.
Well, with all the death-dances in the new movie, I think I was already picturing the death-dance in the main trailer for CrossFit. It’s about when Ben has to fight his way through a day where he has no friends, no family, and no memories. He meets a guy called Diddy, which I found very funny because I’m a huge Diddy fan.
CrossFit is a very specific, and very serious, workout program. It is very similar to body building, and it is very similar to body changing. It’s not a fun exercise program, but it does have a lot of serious fitness benefits and it’s supposed to be very cool and fun.
