Transformations: Travis loses the "daddy" pounds!

“The safest principle through life, instead of reforming others, is to set about perfecting yourself.”
-B. R. Haydon

 Above: Its only been a couple of months, but Travis has made a change for the better.  The picture on the left was taken right before Travis began CrossFitting with us and before he started Paleo-ing!  Most of his weight gain occurred when his girlfriend had their first child.  Sometimes, dad's put on weight even though mommy has the baby. Lucky for him though, his very smart sister, Brandy, dragged him in to our gym and got him going by pushing him WOD after WOD. Today, the picture on the right, Travis is doing great and everyone around the gym has been noticing the dramatic difference in his body composition! I am proud of Travis' progress and his determination to get back into shape. I also love that he is always helping others out--whether its putting their weights away or giving them a tip on Olympic Lifting, which he has great technique at. With another child on the way, we hope to keep Travis looking and feeling good!  Proud of you, Travis... keep up the great work!

Today's WOD:
"Bradshaw"
10 rounds for time:
3 HSPU
6 Deadlifts (225/155 lbs.)
12 Pull-ups
