CJ, Well said. Know that you can call yourself crossfit, fitcross, crossfight, or CJ’s Fantastic Kaleidoscopic Whirlygig Vibratory Flimjim & Virtue Restoring Tonic, Ltd. and I would still show up on Columbia St. You guys know what you’re doing and that works for me.

I usually sleep standing up with my weapon at the low ready.

I hope not Tony. The folks I have surrounded myself with in the CF community genuinely love the principles on which CF was built – an open source model dedicated to seeking out and implementing the best possible strength and conditioning and nutrition methodologies. Some still work with HQ and have had no problems while others have been pushed out or even de-affiliated. I cannot guess what HQ will do, but it will not change my practices. I will continue to provide only what I believe to be the best possible practices, and I am proud of my friends for doing the same – whether they are still held in high regard by HQ or not.

CJ-
has anyone thought about what ramifications could happen because of this de-affiliation? now there is a precedence, conform to our ways and ideals or risk losing the affiliation. will people be less likely to affiliate now, if they even do decide to open a gym? if a gym gives above par customer service, but doesnt conform to HQ’s ideals, what then? i read these blogs and see these websites almost daily. they arent doing anything to hurt HQ. these are good people who produce a great product- is this the example HQ wants to set? could this possibly be the beginning of the end for an “open source” fitness program?

I think after less than 10 hrs of sleep the past two day it is time to practice my sleeping position(s) I find this difficult to determine since I can’t tell how I am sleeping because, well, I am SLEEPING! Then again I might sleep like a WOD AMPAP (as many POSitions as POSsible) in one night.

WOD: 9:22, subbed 400M row (wind chills in the teens today)

Unfortunately, I don’t think we address sleeping position until second semester.

I sleep in the fetal position on the ship out of necessity… go figure.

Strangely enough though, at home I go for the “Freefaller-Yearner” combo with my feet hanging off the bed. No matter what size bed it is, I always work my way down to the end so my feet can hang off with my ankles at 90 and toes pointed towards the floor. Possibly due to my poor ankle flexibility from years of destroying my ankles on the court.

The combo position probably isn’t too good for the spine. My upper body is in the yearner with all the weight on my shoulder and my lower body is twisted into the freefaller…

i rock out the freefall position. works on uncomfortable beds…navy racks, cots. unless i sleep on concrete or asphalt. then definitely soldier position with a head prop (helmets work great)
