 everybody how are we this morning I'm doing quite well to be honest I'm quite excited to bring this video to you guys it's another episode of making games and it's about 8 30 in the morning and today I'm gonna take the camera down to my brand new gym which they actually call a box so I've joined CrossFit guys I don't know what the title of this video is gonna be but it's gonna be something to do with CrossFit and my first experience with it it may seem it may seem to go against the grain a little bit for like a bodybuilder if you want to call me that to go and do something like CrossFit but I'll tell you what especially as I've got heavier and you know bodyweight things like pull-ups even push-ups dips things like that are getting harder and I can't do as many reps you know I see these guys doing CrossFit and they're doing this calisthenics stuff all bodyweight things you know muscle-ups and I just look at that and I think okay if I keep doing the things the way I am now I'm never gonna get there I'm not gonna learn how to do it I want also to learn Olympic lifting like things like power cleans snatches things like that so basically you guys it all pointed to one thing there is there was a brand new CrossFit gym that's opened up in Alice Springs recently it's only three months old and honestly the facilities are amazing like to call that my gym now is so sick like I'm really happy to be there to be honest I'm keeping my anytime fitness membership so that you know if if I do still want to train in the gym I do I do still want to get bigger I still want to make gains so a lot of the CrossFit is cardio or metabolic conditioning based there is some strength components to it where you do deadlifts and bench press and overhead press things like that but I think going forward I'm gonna do the classes and whatever they do in the classes is the class and then outside of that I'm also gonna continue my weight training but I don't know how it's gonna go yet so I'll have to keep you guys posted about that one but for example like today the one the one bad thing about the CrossFit gym is that it's not open 24 sevens so you have to go so you have to you know stick to a timetable today is Sunday and there's no classes on today but what they do have is an open gym and that's basically they open the doors anyone can come down any member they can you know there's so much space in there there's so many racks so many barbells there's literally so many foam rollers it's such an amazing fucking facility and hits here in Alice Springs so I'm so happy and this morning Achilles and I are gonna go down for the open gym it's our first open gym session I think he's gonna do some overhead press I'm gonna do some deadlifts and I'm gonna take the camera down I think CrossFit boxes as they call them have to be up to a certain standard they have to be a certain size they have to have a certain yeah basically I mean it's a franchise pretty much so they've got to be up to standard and this one certainly is you know I'm really really impressed so happy to be there I've done two I've done two CrossFit workout days or what's the last two mornings this morning like I said there's no classes on so we're gonna go for the open gym and hit some weights and I can't wait I just can't wait to crack into it to be honest like the camaraderie is there it's a whole new brand new group of people you know brand new trainers you've got trainers on site all the time you know who are very experienced they can really help you with your technique so yes a bodybuilder is now doing CrossFit I've changed but really I haven't changed because we're still making gains I still want to make muscle gains I don't want to fucking get small so as far as my diet is concerned I'm still gonna up the calories in fact I'll probably need to eat more now because honestly every single like hour session at CrossFit you'd probably burn at least five maybe six seven hundred calories so I'll just have to add a few more calories in and honestly I need to work on my cardio there's no doubt about that so this is gonna do that too everything pointed in this direction to CrossFit for me to try it out I've tried it out I really enjoy it we're gonna go and do some actual lifting today there's a record board there just like there isn't any time fitness but this one is obviously a little more in-depth and I want to get my name up there man so we're gonna do some deadlifts I'm gonna go for a PB because I'm fucking motivated and let's see how we go sweet see you there
