Doug,
A couple a notes on my progress. I did my first official WOD 90 days ago. Not that there is anything special about 90 days, but I have some friends in California that claim their new "system" produces dramatic results in just 90 days. I'll put Hyperfit up against any "system" any day. So what are my results after 90 days?
During the intro sessions I fell over backwards the first time I tried an overhead squat with a 45# bar. Today I can snatch 100#s, Clean and Jerk 95% of my body weight, front and back squat more than my body weight and deadlift 170% of my body weight. All of this after not even knowing the definition of these terms just 90 days ago. My first fitness test time 8:30, 90 days later 4:38. First time rowing 2K 9:04, 90 days later 8:03.
Statistics aside, the greatest benefit may be my increase in mental toughness. You ask us to get "Full Benefit" out of each workout. In the beginning I was intimidated by weight, reps, and the clock. I've been wasting away behind a desk for more than a decade and I didn't know if I still had the mental toughness to push myself. Now I know I do. Every workout is a as much a mental challenge as it is physical and although my mental progress is hard to measure, it is very real. The mental toughness I've developed translates into everything else I do. The Full Benefit question applies to every meeting, every presentation, every sales call, and even the time I spend with my friends and family.
I'm not going to wither away physically and mentally, I'm going to get Full Benefit. Every minute of every day. Thank you. I'm blown away by the progress I've made in just 90 days. It is a testament to the commitment and quality of you and your team. Please feel free to forward this to Mike, Miki, and Patrick. I can't thank all of you enough. See you Monday.
Best,
Matt
