Meet Mark Paukune, one of the Roosters!

When did you start CrossFit?
Oh, about two and half years ago.  It looked like fun, thought I’d give it a try!

What is your favorite WOD?
Anything that involves running.

What is your least favorite WOD?
I don’t like lifting heavy weights.

What is the “Rooster Club”?
It’s an elite fighting force of CrossFitters.  You can join by invitation only.

Yeah, but 6 am is REALLY early!  What is the best part about the Rooster Club?
Oh, by far the people.  It’s the best group of people, and since you go to CF7 early in the morning, your afternoon is free, so you can go to happy hour.

Who is a better coach, Newley or Ryan?
ME!  By far, without question.

At the Paleo potluck, you found the donuts – what’s up with that?
Loved the donuts!

Max Effort, aka Andy P., is a regular at CrossFit Seven.  Max can lift a lot of weight, and he also doubles as the CF7 music critic.

PRs:
FGB: 333
Fran: 3:50
Grace: 2:33
Murph: 36:00
1RM Deadlift: 495
Bench Press: ????? “It’s really off the charts. I am Max Effort.”

How did you get into CrossFit?
Well, I’ve lifted for a long time. I got tired of isolating my muscles – I was bored. BOARD.


Max Effort, lifting at age 4.

How did you get the nickname “Max Effort”?
I think Whiskey or Ronin made it up. Whiskey isn’t that funny, so my guess is that it was Ronin.

You have become the unofficial CF7 music critic, Simon Cowell style. What is your favorite WOD tune?
“Mary Had A Little Drug Problem” by Scratch Acid. And, I like to warm up to game show tunes.

What is your favorite CrossFit WOD?
From CrossFit Football: 5 rounds for time of 7 reps, 350 lb. deadlift and 21 double unders.

And last, your favorite classic CrossFit video?
