A Man of Discipline!

Here is what I like about Arun... He has been involved with Crossfit Central for upwards of 2 years. I cannot remember a time when he has missed without emailing me ahead of time to let me know he would not be there. He has a tremendous amount of character.

This guy is disciplined. When he came into our facility his family, friends and peers probably considered him a very fit and healthy person.

Arun, expects more of himself and every time he steps into our gym I sense it!

People like Arun inspire me!

Here is his email to me from early January:

2010 Review

Weight: January 2010 - 144lbs @ 11.5%
December 2010 - 155lbs @ 10.5%

Diet: January - Strict Paleo/Primal
December - 85% Paleo/Primal

Notes: Increased protein in meals based on Big Mike's comments on food logs. Still skip too many meals when I don't find food around the house. Not too many cheat meals except when I'm on the road traveling

Number of weeks on the road outside Austin in 2010 - over 18 weeks
Harder to stay on track when living/working out on the road but it is possible with planning

Fitness Highlights in 2010
- Lowest body fat percentage @ 34 years (including high and middle school years when I was skinny fat)
- Bigger, stronger, faster across the board
- Got handstands figured out, stringing together 20 plus kipping pullups, and the mechanics of all the major Olympic lifts. I prefer to lift heavy shit now and focus on the lifts as opposed to mindless MetCons (this coming from a former endurance runner/biker)
- I didn't run too many races in 2010 due to being on the road for most of the year. The only race I did was at the end of the year was the Warrior Dash and I crushed it without any significant training. I finished 5th in my age group and I should have placed higher if I had focused more on my running. With over a hundred people in my starting wave I was able to blow by all but 2 of them thanks to all my CF training - I've attached one of my favorite pictures from 2010 of my jumping over one of the obstacles at the end of the Warrior Dash.
