CrossFit - Meet Neal Maddox

- When Neal Maddox was 9, he started doing push-ups and sit-ups every day in his bedroom.
Maddox's uncles were large men and his dad "was really big and buff," so he wanted to keep up. Maddox ended up playing Division II collegiate football and spent some time with the San Jose Sabercats.
"I worked my butt off since I was a kid," says the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member who owns CrossFit X-Treme Athletics in San Jose, Calif.
"Lifting at a younger age and puttin' in the time-that's why it's so easy for me now. People are like, 'You don't have any life. All you do is work and work out.' I'm all, 'That's my life. That's what I love to do.'"
When the three-time CrossFit Games athlete began CrossFitting, he entered the community with a "football mentality." That, he said, required some changing.
"I was a defensive player, so it was like, 'When I'm going out to compete, I'm gonna rip your head off,'" Maddox says. "Transferring over from that football mentality to the CrossFit mentality, it made me realize that there's more to this whole scene than just me." - กีฬา

Very cool. Didn't see this before. Neil doesn't get much air time during the actual events, so this was great to watch -- puts a personality to the face/physique.
My favourite crossfit athlete. If I could be even close to this standard at his age i'll be happy
Amazing guy, amazing body, amazing mentality ! this is Crossfit
I'm 24, I have MS and I work my butt off just the same. I work out in the gym and I do Crossfit. #inyourfacemultiplesclerosis
nice. good for you!
A BEAST and a chill dude! It does not get any better than that.
Up there with the best CrossFitHQ has posted
wow, very awesome dude!
That dude is cool!
nice youtube interview Neal. I too spent the early formative years of my life in the deaf community until my hearing was restored at age 6. Nice to know hear from someone who has dealt with similar struggles. I am new to crossfit as of 3 months but not new to tirelessly training. Thanks for the inspiration bro. I am in NorCal myself and I look forward to stopping by your gym sometime. Peace.
glad I clicked on and then watched this video. This dude is pretty cool.
This guy is awesome and an inspiration.
Neal is the man. pushing positive
Great Vid! Really like this Athlete now, super humble and caring guy.
One of my favorite Crossfitters by far.
new found respect for Neal. seems like a great guy!
Being severely visually impaired, transportation is a constant struggle. However, if I lived in San Jose, I’d would give anything to attend Neal’s CF. I would feel that Neal would be an individual who’d help me learn the various workout regimens without my lack of sight being an impairment.
Cool dude! Like the video
This guy is really cool. He really loves his daughter and other people
So many great people in crossfit. Neal seems like a really nice guy!
Neal you inspire me !
Inspirational!

Love Neal. Way strong. WAY strong. Great performance athlete. If he was a little more proficient in some of the gymnastic stuff he'd be quite a juggernaut at the games.

Awsome guy. I don't know who to be a fan of now. Oh well. GO NEAL!!! :D

Good video.
Think I will start my crossfit journey with the Dougnut part!
He seems like he would get a lot out of his clients! He's got that football intensity, but he seems very personable as well.
What a likeable guy. I'm now a fan of his.
I don't know about the doughnuts and ice cream though. Nice to know that he has vices :)
I would love to meet him one day.

THIS VIDEO MAKE'S ME WANT TO JOIN CROSS FIT BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP WORKING WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER, ALTHOUGH I DON'T WANT TO INJURE MYSELF I HAVE A BAD BACK INJURIE ALREADY FROM THE PAST & I USED TO WEIGHT ABOUT 200''S SOMETHING LB'S BACK WHEN I WAS A LOT YOUNGER I HAVE VERBALLY ABUSED BY FAMILY MOST OF THE TIME, I'M NICE I'M VERY VERY HEAD STRONG I'M FOCUSED ON JUST WORKING OUT TRYING TO GET MY NUTRITION DOWN, BUT
I AM ALSO INTO GETTING BACK TO THE SHAPE I WAS N USED TO BE IN
Great vid, seems like a good dude! I LOVE DONUTS AND COKE! LOL
Sometimes when I'm depressed or under stress I crave Mexican Coca Cola like an addict. It's made with cane and beet sugar and I can hardly stand it until I get one. The donuts and ice cream? No prob. But the Coke...oh God.
"also I will admit that every now and then I have to have some coke" he sure was quick to clearify that it was coca cola he meant ;)
I am glad i am not the only crossfitter that has doughnut cravings...
Standing here making chicken breasts, and he says he eats donuts and ice cream! LOL WTF NEAL
