Travis Taylor is one bad-to-the-bone CrossFitter. I can't wait to see what Sean Woodland and Pat Sherwood have to say about all of Travis' achievements when he makes it to the CrossFit Games.

My brother Travis !! The most goal focused guy I've ever met. There is nothing he can't accomplish when he decides he is going to do it.

Travis knocking out the front squat! This guy is always putting in the extra work after the wod to get stronger and faster.

It is too bad he probably won't see this since he is in Nashville going to the Guns N Roses concert.
