Where there’s a will there’s a way!  And I must say that CrossFitters are some of the most ingenuitive people on the planet.  I have seen squat racks made of wood, shelves made of PVC, boxes (for jumps) substituted with irrigation covers, crazy pull up structures etc etc etc.

But this by far is one of the coolest things I’ve seen…

Let me paint a picture for you.  Franz, from CF Regina (Robin & Aaron’s place) came to our Barbell cert and had bought some Rogue weightlifting shoes.  When I watched him from across the room it looked like he was lifting while only wearing one of them - all lopsided and angled to one side.  What was really going on is that Franz has one leg shorter than another…by a lot.

He finished the rest of the cert while standing with one foot on a 10lb plate to level himself off.  When he came to the next cert, Olympic Weightlifting, he had rectified the problem by having a lift put onto his short leg side.  Wicked. 

Thats what I love about our community…nothing stands in our way.  We all have our issues like injuries, disabilities, illness, time constraints, family commitments amongst others.  What matters is what we do to overcome them.  Most just say ’screw the gym’ I have too many other more important things to do.  Well, like I’ve said many times before, sooner or later your health will be of prime importance to you.  Why not make that decision for yourself now instead of having it made for you later.
