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 [...]
The Women-Only CrossFit class busted out the weight vests yesterday and finished up with some picture perfect Deadlift complexes. Very very inspired by this group of women who said they want a class of all women, but they don’t want an easier workout. Grab onto your bootstraps…
Tonight at 6pm is the second in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The 5:30am class with their secret pre-dawn gymnastics skill work.
This afternoon I am contemplating what it means to live the “CrossFit lifestyle”. I’m not at the gym. I haven’t worn anything that says “CrossFit” on it. I haven’t discussed a workout. I’m not even sore. I haven’t been on Facebook or [...]
We have a plethora, an abundance, and a mountain of delicious, properly raised, local eggs. To get you all excited about eggs I’m going to throw out a little challenge. Who-so-ever (Midori is that a word?) offers up the most delicious and uncommon egg recipe by Friday at noon will receive some free [...]
If you need some ideas for Saturday’s potluck, try Everyday Paleo.
JSchae in the post-workout game analysis with the Ladies-Only CrossFit Class. Ladies, next time you see Mona tell her BIG THUMBS UP on her 190lb squat last night!! She is comin’ for you Ellie.
“Look at his [...]
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 [...]
Wild blueberry barrens as well as my childhood home town!
Hopefully you all had a lovely holiday weekend. I spent mine being homesick. Ummm, 115degrees or something on Saturday? That just isn’t right. While in Arizona the desert sun is hell bent on scorching us crisp (and don’t try to pacify me [...]
Yeah? Are you seeing it? Flavor Flav and Snoop on the pullup bar or Armando at the mike?
Here is a little lesson in how to get a 130lb weighted pullup from [...]
Here we have our good friend Mark Rippetoe, author of Starting Strength. I like this little clip because in it Rip mentions some of the variations in approach to the bench press. Those of you who are fans of watching weightlifting videos might have seen some of the crossfit weightlifting instructional videos from [...]
If you haven’t checked out the work of FullSquared Productions, do it! We were fortunate enough to have them at the 2011 Winter Open and they have some beautiful pictures and cool videos of the day. Check this one out:
If this doesn’t remind you how exciting competition is I don’t know what will! [...]
Don’t be alarmed. It isn’t that I’ve already had too much champagne to drink and got my holidays confused. I know that eggs usually go with Easter. But in our crossfitting nutrition world we take eggs whenever we can get them, especially free range, weed-eating, bug-munching, sun-bathing, keeping-it-in-the-family, raised chickens. Make one of [...]
Witnessing people figure something out that they’ve been struggling with for weeks or months never gets old. Watching people try something new and a little intimidating is also always inspiring.
These girls got on gloves for the first time and worked with Ruben on some punching!
Nice [...]
