GET TO KNOW CFEP & CFPL COACHES! Name: Josh Nix Nickname: There have been several attempts, but nothing has ever stuck. # of Years CrossFitting: 3 years Athletic/Sports History: I played a mad, small forward in elementary YMCA Basketball. My finger roll lay-up was SICK! Favorite CF Movement: Handstands & Pull-ups Favorite CF Lift:Deadlift Favorite Movement/Lift to Coach: Pull-ups & other gym-nasty movements. Education/Degree & Alma Mater: AA - Normandale, University of Concordia St.Paul, BA - Exercise Science, Athletic Training Emphasis First thing you loved about CrossFit: I started doing CrossFit main site WODs on my own at a YMCA three years ago. During my first week I was thrown into a pistols and hand-stand push-up WOD. I didnt have a clue what I was doing. I had not done a handstand in about 15 years and it was an eye opening and fun experience to have that thrown at me. Secondly, the Nasty Girls video hooked me in as well. Its an old-school CrossFit video of three chics killing the Nasty Girls workout with STRICT muscle-ups! The video embodies what CrossFit is all about. Check it out! Things you love to do outside of the gym: I love the crazy adventures of Christy Nix, Willow & Co., watching/playing sports, being outside, going fast on wheels, working at Project Walk, going to local theatres, restaraunts, doughnut shops, or breweries. Goals for 2015: I would like to attend a USAW certification for olympic lifting and maybe a couple more CrossFit certifications. I would also like to see a CFEP team contend for a spot at Regionals this year. Hit a 370# squat, 462.5# Deadlift & also cut down my extreme doughnut consumption by ~50%, but increase my brewery exploration by ~300%. Lastly, I would like to see at least 50% of the CFEP community hit an unassisted, strict pull-up and some 2x bodyweight squats in 2015.
