NOVEMBER 2021: BRIAN BLOCKER

What is your name or nickname? Blocker

What are your favorite hobbies, talents, skills outside of CrossFit? I make funny videos on the internet 😂

How did you find/get to CrossFit Eclipse? Graduated high school with Aaron!

What motto or phrase do you live by? Anything is possible.

What is your favorite music to listen to while WODing? Anything with a beat.

What is your favorite WOD? Amanda

What is your favorite cheat Food(s)? Milkshake

What is one thing you have done at CFE that you never thought you would do? I wouldn’t say NEVER thought I would do, but I’m recovering from shoulder surgery a lot faster in some ways than I expected!

What motivates you through your CrossFit journey? Competing

What results have you seen so far in coming to CFE? Rehabilitation has been the main focus, so going from only being able to use 1 arm a couple of months ago to being able to compete now is HUGE.

Do you have any special or successful CrossFit Eclipse memories/moments? Hitting some personally significant numbers across a broad spectrum of typical CrossFit movements has been really awesome for me. Still have a long way to go but I’ve also come a long way!

What sort of life changes have you experienced because of CrossFit that you didn’t expect? Just relationships. Every time you join a gym it’s like your tribe, and it’s the best part of the whole sport.

What advice would you give to a newbie or someone just joining CrossFit Eclipse? Correct and light > incorrect and heavy, a good workout is more effective than “going rx,” going heavy is just an excuse to go slow.

Current training Goals/PRs? To get back to pre-surgery strength and gymnastics, improve cardio!

If you could create a WOD and name it for yourself, what would it be?

Snatch ladder with a pulling gymnastics set (pull-up/muscle up) before each attempt!

Cowboys or Sooners? Rock Chalk Jayhawk 🙂
