The 7 Sacred Rules at AllStar

At CrossFit AllStar we commit to live the following:

  1. I promise to do my best. My best will vary from day to day, minute to minute. But in that minute I will do my absolute best.
  2. If I can run, I run. If I have to walk, I walk. When I am forced to crawl, I crawl. Then I rest and live to fight another day.
  3. I may struggle, curse and cry but I will never quit.
  4. I will never criticize or beat myself up for what I can't do today. I will just try again tomorrow.
  5. I promise to believe in myself, beginning each workout with the thought that "I can do this!"
  6. I show up to my workouts because I am committed to my health. My commitment to health is an act of self-love.
  7. I acknowledge that my diet is the most important part of my program. The cleaner it is, the better I do.

7/7/12 & 7/8/12 Kapolei Strength & Conditioning Grand Opening Competition

-Written by KC

Through competition, this is how we can truly get better ourselves, it allows us to rise above ordinary performance and put out much more than we normally would in a daily workout.

It's true, I was the first to register for this 2 day competition in Honolulu and also registered Josh, without asking him first. Sneaky? Maybe, but I was driven by 2 REASONS: #1, I am looking for competition, always. Living on the Big Island it's tuff for me to find solid competition, I drive at least once a week to Kona searching for competition, sometimes twice. Through competition, this is truly how we can truly get better ourselves, it allows us to rise above ordinary performance and put out much more than we normally would in a daily workout. #2, I signed Josh and I up soon, without hesitation, so we wouldn't have time to talk ourselves out of it. Oh yeah, the mind can totally screw with you and lead you to think you are not good enough, strong enough, fast enough....whatever it is. What's great about signing up for a competition is, you are IN, no matter what and you do your best, you get through and you are better for it. Placing doesn't matter, but EFFORT sure as heck does. And ALL who were there for the 2 day competition last weekend put out their best efforts. Many personal records were made, it was painful...and...beautiful.
