Photos from the REEBOK CrossFit Regional Competition in Chicago

Here’s a few photos I took from the Reebok CrossFit Regionals (competition) a month ago at the Navy Pier in Chicago. Only way I can really describe this event is to compare it to a Kink Event. The energy of all these people with the same interest causes the same sort of camaraderie that I’ve seen every year at IML, Fur-Con and, hell, even at Comic-Con. And, I won’t lie. Yes, walking in, you get that vibe “Am I at a Cult meeting?”. I got the same feeling when when I went to my first Furry Convention. Then, you hear 25 people from one gym cheer on their friend in this huge venue. I couldn’t be help but to be moved by that. A lot of pride and love for their friend. Who wouldn’t appreciate that? This was televised on ESPN, too.

Hey, isn’t that like when we cheer on our friend trying to win a Leather Title? Ha!

Also, I have to point out the obvious. So much WOOF in one place. The majority of the athletes actually mingled with fans after their work outs offering advice and photos.  Super, super nice guys (and gals).  Very supportive.   There was also a market with vendors. Many giving away tons of free stuff.  Who doesn’t like free stuff?   Yes, I will take that Protein Shaker. Thank you, MusclePharm.

Oh, hey, that sounds like a Leather Market!  Yes, I will take that free cum rag. Thank you, Steamworks.

I’ve been into CrossFit less than a year now. It makes me very happy. After watching the age 40-44 division, I can confidently say that I left this event feeling inspired and yet REALISTIC of what I can do. It was very interesting watching guys in their 20’s and 30’s do a particular technique… and comparing to guys in their 40’s.  The guys in their 40’s held their own.

BUT… just because your friend can take a 2 Fists doesn’t mean you can even take 1.

Enjoy the photos. I clearly need to get a better lens for my camera for next year’s event. If I’m not competing. *Dreaming away*

Naked CrossFit

This Danish chain has come up with the perfect antidote for your fitness fatigue: naked CrossFit (a mix of weightlifting, rope climbing and, err, tyre flipping).

The idea of naked CrossFit originally started off as an April Fool’s prank when the owners of Danish gym, Spartan Mentality, mocked up an ad for the exercise class featuring very buff men in their birthday suits.
