Name: Cody Phillips aka. Cody Bear aka: 2.0
Age: 26
Occupation: Jedi Padawan
Previous workout/exercise history before starting CrossFit? I played sports in high school. Was an amateur Kickboxer for a while as well as the usual weights and running.
CrossFitting Since: March 2012
How did you learn about CrossFit Sting? Drove past the gym while test driving a car and thought “Hey, local box so I can start back at crossfit. I’ll look them up later.” (We are glad you did and I am glad you lost the headphones after that first WOD, well until that bitch Fran and Murph rolled around.)
Was it love at first WOD? Heck yea! My first WOD was self led in a weight room full of Italians, Turkish, and Germans who were all staring at me like a moron as I jumped from machine to machine. I was smoked after a 10 minute workout and fell in love. (What 2.0 probably forgot to leave out was that he might have had a puking episode after the workout too!? If that happens it usually gets better…..Cody, we are still waiting and in the mean time you know where the bucket, mop, and the water are located.)
Favorite WOD or movements? All Gymnastic movements or Olympic lifts. Favorite WOD is Diane.
Least favorite WOD or Movements? Stuff for tall people. Box jumps, wall balls, or running. GHD Back Extensions turn my legs to rubber too.
Favorite CrossFit Sting moment? Describe your experience here. Getting my first ring muscle up! It’s been great here. Everyone is friendly and with no ego’s running around everyone gets along and keeps the environment positive. Negative energy is debilitating for exercise. (2.0 might be one of the guys whose name is all over the leader board but he never fails to cheer on that last athlete to finish and offer advice and help. Nice job. Signed, Yoda (aka as Jedi Grand Master!)
Why do you CrossFit? It’s the type of fitness I love and need for what I do with the military.
Tell us something new about you that we don’t already know? I do Kermit the Frog and Cookie Monster impressions for my son. (Impression soon coming to a CF box near you.)
