Foam roller trick and fish recipe

Multiple important things today:

1.  Don’t forget Aaron will be here at Open Gym tomorrow.  He will be with a client until 10:30, but then he will be available to teach you guys what you need to know to participate in the August 14th Grip Strength Competition…you know, the CrossFit-Friendly Strong Man event.  Just in case you CrossFit purists wonder about the connection between grip strength/strong man training and CrossFit check out the 2010 Northwest Regional Qualifier Games where fat bar deadlifts showed up courtesy of Kurtis Bowler, Strongman and owner of Rainier CrossFit (one of the early CF Affiliates).

Crispy Coconut Tilapia

2 packages of frozen tilapia dug our of the bottom of the freezer

1c shredded dried cconut

1/4c arrowroot powder

1T Hungarian paprika

1T cumin

1T tumeric

1T coriander

Plenty of butter and a good cast iron skillet

Mix the arrowroot and spices on a plate.  Sprinkle the coconut on another plate.  Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water, dry them on a towel.  Press into the arrowroot/spice mix so that a very thin layer covers both sides of the fish and do the same with the coconut.  Melt plenty of butter (or ghee) on your skillet and fry the tilapia until golden brown on both sides.

2.  Next Wed, July 28 at 7pm is the Intro to Paleo, free nutrition lecture.  Free and open to the public.

3.  Those foam rollers get awfully lonely sometimes.  Check out my classes doing some thoracic opening work.

We have been very fortunate this week to have many visitors.  All of whom, I feel, have chosen an insane time of year to be in Tucson.  All the more impressive.  Welcome and let us know what you need.  Randy, especially, had some beautiful overhead squats last night.
