THE KING IS BACK!!!


Whether its Business, Music, or Athletics, "King Savage" Perry only knows one speed(100% with his head down)!. Recently Perry has been dealing with a nagging wrist injury, along with one of the busiest work schedules known to man. All these factors contributed to him not training consistently. Well, that has all changed over the past few weeks!!! Perry is once again taking his running seriously(race him, I dare you!) and destroying Crossfit WODs. I stole this pic off of his facebook page to highlight a point I wanted to make.

Crossfit was developed to make you better at life, and I know that Perry feels better and accomplishes more when he is training consistently. Unfortunately guys like him and I have a tendancy to over do it. Sometimes a little rest and relaxation is in order. Spending countless hours in the gym and stressing over every little calorie isn't worth it. Im not saying to eat like shit and not take your training seriously. My point is we should use Crossfit as a catalyst to enjoy the outdoors, improve sport performance, and boost your social life. I love seeing pics of crossfitters on top of mountains doing handstands, surfing huge waves, and killing it on the football or battlefield! I sometimes get so caught up on my preparation for the Crossfit Games Qualifiers and my Diet that I lose focus on why I started Crossfit in the first place. To live a more healthy, meaningful and FUN life! Next time you find yourself stressing over your Crossfit Total, Zone blocks, or fish oil quality, go ride some waves, fire up the BBQ, drink a cold one and chill out!

  1. Good points Andy, it took me 28 years to want to live a healthy life style, but killing myself in my first year doing it isn't going to keep me motivated. Its always nice to remember why you started doing something in the first place.

  2. I couldn't agree with you more. Whats the point of looking dead sexy if you can't enjoy it once in a while. Keep up the great work brother.
