As funny as that video is, it perfectly demonstrates the importance of consistency. After watching the video we now know that he does not lift very heavy on a consistent basis if at all. Consistency is the most important factor in progress. Sometimes it may seem like we just did a certain exercise not too long ago and there is definitely something to be gained from variety. However variety must take a back seat to consistency when training.
Sometimes you find your Happy Place mid wod, other times it’s not until the workout is over when you can envision nirvana. Well upon 2nd look Craig may just be delirious.
Stephen C. was has always been a hard charger and somehow he seems to keep improving. It doesn’t matter what the WOD he attacks it with aggression and pushes everyone around him.

Mitzi P. goes way back in CrossFit, we actually attended the same Certification Seminar 5 years ago. You would think that she would at least slow down a little. Even when battling through injuries she is always putting forth her very best and insipring those around her.
Workout: 5 x 3 weighted dips
then
using a weight 85% of your 1RM clean, do 2 power cleans on the minute for 15 minutes

He hides it really well most of the time but apparently Craig can row so fast he becomes transparent. I also heard a rumor that he is so fast he can dodge rain drops.
