Jessica Pamanian 2nd Overall Crossfit Regionals

JESSICA PAMANIAN
has come a long way in an extremely short period of time. She has worked her way into the hearts and minds of all Midnight Madness adepts as someone who is a catalyst for the group's performance. She came with natural physical ability, but has taken the EFC teachings and has worked her physical, spiritual, and philosophical selves on her road to self mastery.

With poise and grace, humility and gratitude, Jessica stepped to this Goliath and became our champion for the weekend. After only 2 weeks of prep for the sectionals, she took 4th. In two short months post sectionals she followed a program that would make most shudder leading to a 2nd place overall standing at the Crossfit Regionals which will take her to Los Angeles for the national finals in July.

Mu Shin Jess!!! Next stop LA!!!

For all the new blood that entered the world of the mad this evening, let me reiterate that Extreme Fitness Concepts is about personal transcendence. It's less about berating oneself for not measuring up to the mechanical standards set forth by a collective, but more about pushing the limits of the creative piece of your biological protoplasm. That said, we do strive for perfection within a movement, but that is just a means to an end, not the goal. Once again, the goal is to come face to face with your higher self, to test your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual limits, to transcend that which we think we are in order to find something or someone that is only revealed in sporadic moments of excellence, or in moments of raw vulnerability. The true treasure of Extreme Fitness Concepts is that one can experience this state regardless of technical ability. You only need accept it.

"I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself." -D. H. Lawrence
