Congratulations to Amoury Hollins on his first year anniversary as an Ironside athlete! We asked Amoury a couple fun questions about his first year at Ironside and thought wed share them! Q. What do you consider your biggest accomplishment over the past year at Ironside? Amoury: Starting. Whatever your baseline, you will improve, but youve got to start. If you put in the work, the numbers and fitness will come; but first, you have to start. Q. In hindsight, is there any advice you would give to Amoury Hollins a year ago? Amoury: Check your ego at the door and have fun. I worked out for years thinking I could do it alone. The coaching and community are vastly superior to anything you can do on your own. Q. What is your funniest or most embarrassing memory over the last year? Amoury: Losing my grip while doing a thruster. The bar seemed to hoover in the air for an eternity. I couldnt figure out what to do so I dropped and rolled (in a very ungraceful way). Q. Would you rather... lick Rich Fronings sweaty armpit after doing double-Grace, or do 1000 burpees? Amoury: I would do 10,000 burpees before licking anything. I may reconsider if Camille were substituted for Rich. Q. What song pumps you up when you hit that mid-WOD wall? Amoury: Anything by Pitbull gets me pumped. Pitbull feels like a party. Jay-Z is also good. Q. If you could WOD with anyone – past, present, or future – who would you throw down with? Amoury: I think Muhammad Ali in his prime would be my WOD choice. I think seeing the champs will to win would be fun. Competing with someone who has such mental fortitude would be cool. Q. Do you have any new goals for this next year? Amoury: In 2015, Id like to hit a muscle up. I just want to focus on getting more efficient and enjoying the process and results from Crossfit.
