We know the CrossFit games are going to be HUGE this year. Last week, the 2011 CrossFit games were on TV, and a lot of my friends were very confused about the whole workout event. I went to the regionals last week, and man was I impressed. But anyways, we asked ourselves, what would be the coolest, most bitchin' retail socks we could create?
"More Kettlebell" CrossFit Socks
We took the inspiration from this SNL clip:
We hope you like the socks and find them comical. Also, we do know that our socks have the best quality, and are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn.
So we're looking forward to the CrossFit Games and hoping to see everyone compete. We will probably head down there July 13-15 to see everyone from around the world to compete.
I will post videos from the So Cal Regionals soon.
You can always check out our CrossFit socks at Amazon here:
Now these socks were inspired by Roller Derby Girls. With so much to inspire us, we noticed a commonality between CrossFit chicks and Rolly Derby Gals- they're tough. And so are our socks. Don't be afraid to check out our socks on Amazon.
She's Britney. She's that girl who complains too much about working out. She's not very tough. She's the one who cries all the time about being over weight, but doesn't do anything about it. She's the girl on MTV's made, who runs for five minutes and cries. That's who's she's supposed to be. That Girl.
We've decided something as of late. The opportunities are endless for us. The opportunities are endless for CrossFit. We stumbled upon an idea, a movement, a new way of life. A new direction- we're going full board with these CrossFit Socks.
We especially made these socks for the CrossFit community.
We thought these socks were wacky, hilarious, and attention grabbing. I could just imagine some intense CrossFitters doing deadlifts, with blood running down the Chicken's leg. Intense imagery, I know.
Today I'm going to write about my growing affinity for CrossFit.
1. Pukie the Clown
Now this is hilarious. What better mascot than a clown who works out too hard, projectile vomiting on a gym floor? It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's CrossFit. It summarizes the audacity and pure, a consistent theme throughout all Crossfitters.
And what about the name? Pukie. Are you serious right now?
This thing looks like a jacked/rhoided out version of Krusty the Klown, drinking beer and taking meth.
2. WODs
One day a WOD could be like this: And like this on the next day
Why this is so great you ask? Variety. I feel like when you walk into a CrossFit gym, you don't know what to expect. One day you could be really challenging yourself aerobically and your muscle endurance, then the next day could be pure strength.
3. A new Gym Culture
I used to swim. I actually swam for over 15 years. After graduating school, and giving up my dreams as a professional swimmer, (we all can't be Michael Phelps), I found it difficult to work out. I tried everything.
Lifting. Lifting and cardio. Running. Cycling. Running and cycling. Walking on a high incline for an hour and a half. And to be honest- it's all boring.
Then I saw a video about the CrossFit culture. It's a new way to approach the gym. Instead of lazily walking into the gym, pumping four bench presses, walking for 10 minutes, then hitting the showers, CrossFit engages you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You are apart of a group. You are apart of something new, and different. No more being a slave to the treadmill. No more working out aimlessly, alone, disconnected.
And the best part about a WOD, it's generally short. But obviously produces results.
4. Unique Gyms

No gym is the same. They are everywhere. They have their own identity. This is changing the way we approach fitness. Fitness is a sport.
5. Top 10 CrossFit SLOGANS:
1. "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people; and are more useful in general."
The more and more I Google Image Crossfit people, the more tattoos I see. A little more edgier than your average gym goer. I have two tattoos, and plan on getting more. But upon coming from under the needle, applying lotion to my wounds, I realized tattoos give you a sense of identity and self-expression. NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
Also I think it's important to reject norms that don't make sense.
Like running on a treadmill for hours upon hours at low intensity.
