 Barebones Barbell Club of Tucson: strength training, power lifting, Olympic Lifting, private weight lifting facility  |
Incorporating lateral movement and change-of-direction into the training As health-conscious, performance-oriented people I think we all wonder about supplements. Should we take them? Which ones? How much? Which brand? Why? Why not? It would be simply wonderful if there were a simple answer to any of these questions. If only there [...] I’ve had some questions about why we don’t have as many eggs for sale as we have in the past. There is sometimes a little undertone that someone (or some chicken!) is not doing their job properly. Even us nutrition-conscious CrossFitters sometimes lose touch with the fact that a food so ubiquitous as [...] This week you should be seeing some random pieces of paper hanging on the gym walls. Closer inspection should reveal that these pieces of paper are food journals. The competitive crossfitters at CrossFit Works will be hanging their food journals. Why would they do this you might ask? Performance CrossFit with a [...] What’s the first place to stop after two days of studying with the CrossFit Football crew? How about after the Tough Mudder? What about The OC Throwdown? First stop is the pharmacy for a couple giant bags of Epsom Salts, chemical composition Magnesium Sulfate.
Magnesium is an sadly neglected mineral. Lots [...] At last. An opportunity to spend many hours talking about food, nutrition, health and wellness! My friend Ryan Koch and I are going to lead/teach an eight hour “class” on the evolutionary approach to food, eating and wellness. Ryan and I share a belief in the wisdom of the diets of our long-ago [...] I don’t think I have EVER heard better academic speak in my life!! ”ecologically novel chemosensory signaling compounds” simply means that diet soda is not PALEO!! It means the compounds in diet soda are new (“novel”) to the human body and that they perform some type of activity through our chemical processing/sensing pathways. It [...] Don’t forget, regular schedule Tue, Wed and Thur of this week. Keep checking for updates to the class schedules that will begin on Tuesday January 3rd. While we are taking this scheduled break from our strength and conditioning training we may as well use this opportunity to focus on our food. It is [...] “What is gluten-free?” “Why does everyone want to be gluten-free now?”
I hear these questions quite often. My usual answer is an abbreviated explanation [...] How do you know if you need a protein supplement? How do you know if the one you use is the best one? The answers to these questions can be long and complicated or they can be quite simple. If you eat a diet that contains high quality protein (meat, poultry, [...] Liver is one of the best sources of Vitamin D. When I lived with a Lakota family on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation raw liver was a special treat, shared equally amongst the family members. If you aren’t thrilled at that idea you can try a supplement that some of the most [...] The 6pm Mob (Flash?). Midori and Leslie, the only Sister members of the Mob. As a head’s up, we are taking names right now. As in attendance. Some of our classes are full. We will be addressing this soon! Hang in there. I had to give Ellie the winning spot for [...] What a reminder!! You all have to check out the blog today of John Welbourne, creator of CrossFit Football programming and former NFL player. John is an extremely knowledgeable and wise strength and conditioning coach. He is also one of the founders of Paleo Brands food company, so not only does he know [...] Sometimes there is something written so well that I feel like if I have caused a couple other people to read it, my daily good deed is done. I believe this recent blog post written by Robb Wolf, author of The Paleo Solution, is the type of read that could make the world a [...] |
