Sam's workouts have this tendency to look relatively minor on paper, and then by the end of those three little exercises he listed, one is ready to vomit. Another Saturday workout when, by the end of the tabata squats, i seriously considered the likelihood of revisiting my breakfast. Later that day he asked me if i was sore and i was like "no, i feel good." Crushing agony came the next day. And today. Sore, sore sore shoulders, Sore thighs. I can feel the individual muscles in my upper back. My trick butt muscle that keeps acting up during deadlifts is fully awake and aware of the impact of tabata squats.
We watched Pumping Iron last night and Arnold said it best with his statement that those painful, aching muscles were necessary for success, because if you pushed through that pain and continued to work out, you would at least be eligable to succeed and win, but if you didnt push through the pain, you had no chance of winning at all. In general, his arrogance is inspiring.

Thanks for these inspiring words, Christine and Arnold. You have a trick butt muscle??
For those of us feeling old and sore, take comfort in the fact that young Cullen shares your pain, and is still having trouble going up and down stairs. Thanks Crossfit and Sam!
I promise to give you the right advices.
p.s. I didn't know the origin of the 'Sam is Numero Uno' and 'Clive is Numero Uno' t-shirts until seeing this picture just now.
We aren't sending it back b/c everyone really needs to see it.
We're not called the Sore Corps for nuttin'!
