And now, ladies and gents...an example of how to get free, customized stuff from our very own Zach Morman. A letter written to 2POOD Apparel regarding his desire for a purple weight belt.
"Let me tell you little story of a whimsical young man with nothing to lose...
Once there was a young boy with fire on his breath and a hop in his step.
One day, he stumbled upon rather peculiar gym.
Where the people were strong but lean and thin.
Where the weights were magically colored and the people were barely clothed w/ skin mostly out!
With curiosity aroused he bounded into the strange garage to discover what the stir was about.
Boxes and bars and rings! Oh My!!
He was not so strong any more but rather shy.
1 year later function was strong.
His Crossfit total number was many digits long.
No shirt, no belt, no pain felt.
Until one hot summer day his spine did melt.
Surgery was due for the poor lad
But 4 months later he was training like mad.
A secret weapon wrapped around his waist.
A 2pood metcon belt to keep him safe!
But every day the boy grew a-bore.
Black and pink is for strippers and whores!
With an angry shout he wished for more ...
A wish he sent pleaded to the store.
Purple! he begged them alone at work.
A purple belt for a boy who cleans and jerk!
A belt of magic they did send.
Boredom and back forever mend..."

Nice zachII Impressed... Sorry to hear about your back. btw- I have functional back braces if you need :)
Sometimes success doesn't equal how much weight you lift or how many reps you counted. Sometimes success is writing a Night Before Christmas-esque poem about a weight belt that includes the phrase "strippers and whores."
Well done, Zach.
Hillarious! This deserves an award. #strippersandwhores
Good Job Zach
Another reason why it's important to lock your bedroom door every night when you live with Zach.
Haha thanks y'all
Even better is going on 2pood Performance Apparel's Facebook site and liking my post them... This was originally an email to their customer service and requested I put it on their facebook.
I figure the more likes = the better chance of getting a custom purp belt and other purple attire.
Still trying to figure out how black and pink is for strippers and whores but purple somehow does not fit the bill....
Zach - you have way too much free time...well played though...the purple weight belt should be framed in the gym.
Hahaha I love this! I'm definitely not good at rhyming.. this is awesome=)
Also, Marcos was an awesome team player..wearing neon colors..including pink socks!!=)
Greg, how can you resist letting a man with those sultry verses into your bedroom?
Haha loving the blog this morning.
A: 45 all
B1: 45-70-90x6 reps (I tried to match Superman's 11 but fell short)
B2: 20x12 reps for all
Alos, huge kudos to Reyes for juggling 3 classes this morning solo. It was pretty impressive.
Today's blog is pure gold.
Zach -- incredible work. I sincerely hope they grant your wish.
Zach- Your poem represents all that is right in the world.
A1: 45 x 3, 54
A2: I like to jump
B1: 45, 70, 90x8

Enjoyed the noon class. Good work by everyone.
Zach - please put your poetry to good use and get one of these for the gym: http://nexersys.com/
Another great day in OLY class!! I didn't PR on the clean and jerk

Ummm... Yeah
I crushed Harrison on the pushups... wasnt even close
Oly class: 215 clean & jerk (PR)
Great last oly class. Hit 200# on the C&J which is a 15# pr. The jerk still needs work but it was great to hit that 200 mark.
A special thanks to Jose for all of his coaching these past 6 weeks. Enjoy the time off and congrats.
Next Oly cycle can't come soon enough.
