I was a bricklayer.

It was how I paid the bills when I first moved to America. Even the biggest title in bodybuilding, Mr. Olympia, only paid a thousand dollars back then. 

It makes me proud that in March, the winner of our Arnold Classic and our Arnold Classic UK took home more than a million dollars. He can focus on bodybuilding.

But in our day, that wasn’t an option. Some guys were teachers. Some sold insurance. Franco and I laid bricks.
We put an ad in the paper and sold ourselves as European craftsmen. We figured if people heard the accents, they would picture old-world masonry instead of two bodybuilders with a wheelbarrow. 

It worked. 

The phone rang. And then we had to go out and actually do the job, which was the part nobody could fake. Luckily, Franco knew what he was doing.

The work was simple. Mix the mortar. Set the brick. Tap it level. Scrape the edge. Then do it again. And again. Nobody claps for you. There is no crowd, no music, no trophy. There is just the next brick sitting there waiting for you.

You can still find some of the walls we built in Venice.
That’s where my lesson today comes from.

One brick doesn’t look like anything. Ten bricks don’t look like anything. A hundred bricks, you’re starting to see something, but it doesn’t impress anyone.

You just keep laying bricks until the job is done.

And you know what happens after four or five hours on a wall?

You are so damn tired, or you feel so great that you stop measuring.

You are not standing back every ten minutes asking how far from finished it is. You are covered in mortar, your hands are raw, you’re schvitzing, and you are happy. The work took the question away from you.

That is the part nobody tells you about hard work: It doesn’t just build the wall. It terminates the voice that keeps asking when the wall will be done.

"This isn’t about being hypermobile. When you’re doing functional movements, there are clear end ranges: top and bottom, fully extended, or fully flexed. Just be able to move through those ranges while preserving all the points of performance: proper midline position, good mechanics, everything intact."

The CrossFit Level 1 Training Guide, the cornerstone of the methodology, is clear: health is best assessed by measuring fitness over time [8]. If you are moving more weight, over varied durations, with greater speed and efficiency, you are getting fitter. And if you’re getting fitter, you’re becoming more resilient — physically, metabolically, and neurologically. Fitness is not done in a day’s work. It’s a journey that takes commitment, built on hard work and accepting that there are no shortcuts. CrossFit has no interest in fitness fads or cosmetic goals. The goal is capacity. Capacity is what keeps you off medications. It’s what allows you to carry your groceries at 85, to pick yourself up after a fall, to walk into your 90s with independence.

This isn’t abstract.

This is preventative medicine. You can see it on the whiteboard.

#CrossFit #CrossFitIsTheCure

[CrossFit @CrossFit]

The goal of CrossFit is to create a broad, general, and inclusive fitness: fitness with a general physical capacity that lends itself well to any and all contingencies; the likely and unlikely; the known, unknown, and unknowable. It is not enough to develop one capacity at the expense of any or all others. We do not just want you to be good in the gym or at one physical task; we want you to be good at life, sport, combat, and everywhere, at any time, for any duration, and in any environment. Achieving that requires variance.

The standard is the standard, and while CrossFit is infinitely scalable, we don’t move the goalposts to make it easier or more comfortable. CrossFit both attracts and develops grit.

The first part of the formula is the METHODOLOGY. 

The first thing that’s absolutely critical to understand is that our methodology is the driver of our unparalleled efficacy, our results. And what do I mean by results? Not only does CrossFit make people fit, but you can make a strong argument that we make people fitter faster and more safely than any other program out there. Our results are universal, predictable, and repeatable. Our methodology works for everyone, can be scaled for anyone, and the results accrue over the long term.

Mechanics. Consistency. Intensity.

One of the most overlooked — and often misunderstood — elements of the CrossFit methodology.

We are devastated by the passing of Lazar Đukić. Our hearts are with Lazar’s entire family, friends, and fellow athletes.

Out of respect for the family and in cooperation with the Fort Worth Police Department, we will share updates when possible.
