“Dear Women Everywhere: unless you have big hairy balls, lifting weights will not make you bulky any more than it will make you grow a beard. In fact, lifting weights will make you beautiful. Your strength and confidence will arouse onlookers of both sexes, and your ass will be a shining beacon of hope to [...]

For the rest of the week try and eat only foods WITHOUT a label. I know it may be tough but give it a go. WOD 21-15-9 Thrusters Knees to Elbows

This cycle is going to be fairly rough. I’m going to try and program in a lighter day each week but it will be mostly up to you to decide when you need a break. Aside from that, it’s time to start thinking more about recovery. So when you go home tonight instead of working [...]

Now with the inception of MobilityWOD we can have a little 10 min mobility session post workout. MobilityWOD is run by CrossFit mobility [...]

No post today. Just thought I’d remind you all of the greatness that is Super Troopers. One of the funniest movies of all time. WOD 10 Rounds of Cindy Sticking with our deload theme, this should be performed at less that 100%. You will all have time to wreck yourselves for the next 6 weeks.
