Hi Folks my name is Rob Kiss I was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1994.
My main reason for staring this blog is that I want to track my development as a CrossFit athlete: measure my progress and interact with like-minded people from all over the world and bounce ideas off each other.
About me: Sports have always been a great part of my life even from the very beginning. I started swimming at the age of 4 and I was a competitive swimmer for around 8 years when I decided to move towards waterpolo as I always wanted to do a team sport since my father was one of the best basketball players in the history of Hungary. After my 4th year of playing in one of the best waterpolo teams of Hungary but never playing a major role I decided to switch to basketball.
It was a hard for me "getting out of the pool" and also after around 12 years of 10 hours of training a week having like 3 weekly workouts didn't satisfy my hunger of working out. That time I started to develop serious knee problems because of the sudden stress on my knees due to basketball. That was the time when I first started to go the gym to do physiotherapy and rehab my knee.
In 2011 I got the book "Convict Conditioning" from my grandfather. It's a book about bodyweight training and it helped me a lot figuring out how to deal with my excessive energies. After my physiotherapy sessions I started to incorporate Calisthenics in my daily routine and I improved fast because I've already had a good enough athletic background. I started to gain interest in Strength and Conditioning, Healthy Lifestyle, Nutrition and different training methods. I read books started to read blogs and watch youtube videos on the topic.

In the Summer of 2012 I've been introduced to CrossFit, a whole new interpretation of the whole Fitness world. I've been always a fan of functional and performance based workouts against the shopwindow dummy bodybuilders who can barely lift their hands above their head without the need of surgery.
So in the Septermber of 2012 I joined a CrossFit gym here in Budapest. My goal is to perform and compete at my highest level possible and besides that work in the crossfit, fitness, health field after finishing school and help children, adults, elders, pro athletes, recreational athletes with their own personal goals and overall lifestyles.
