    “An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.”
    -James A. Michener

    I am not going to bore you today with a long rant, but rather show you two new commercials produced by CrossFit’s new partner Reebok. Hopefully these commercials will shine some light on what we do and lead others to us. Leave your comments about the commercials and the partnership between the two companies. Enjoy your week and don’t forget to train hard, but train smart. (more…)

    A Review of
    The Misled Athlete

    posted January 26th, 2012

    By: Mark DiSalvo

    “Frustrated by periods of listlessness and fatigue or suffering yet another bout of a cold or flu even though you are exercising?” This was the line to begin chapter 2, The Exercise-Immune Connection, from Carl Germano’s The Misled Athlete. The book focuses on healthy and effective nutritional strategies for athletes. Carl points out the marketing gimmicks, misleading science, and deception associated with many popular supplements. Where the book distinguishes itself from others, is in how he views the athlete or trainee, as a patient. As many of you have heard me say numerous times, you need to understand your goals. Are you trying to compete in the CrossFit games or do you need to lose 25 pounds? Do you workout to be healthy or to compete? Are you trying to increase insulin sensitivity or are you trying to spike insulin to build muscle? These are answers you must have if you want to structure an appropriate nutritional strategy to support your goals. No matter what your goals are, I felt Carl’s patient theory was an interesting approach because it took into account health and how supporting health supports performance. (more…)

    Bench Press:
    (3, 3, 3+) 70% 80%, 90%

    *We are going to start adding tempo counts to our lifting and we will get more in depth with it as everyone becomes accustom to it. This type of variety and muscle stimulation will keep us progressing in all aspects. Today we are doing a tempo of (30X1). Start by lower the bar on a 3sec count, do not pause at the bottom of the lift, immediately drive the bar back to the top as fast as possible. Pause for 1sec at the top before beginning the next rep. Be sure to stick to this tempo count. Count in your head or have a spotter count aloud for you, 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, 3-one thousand. This may hurt your AMRAP set but I believe the benefits will be worth it.


    7 Rounds of:
    -7 Handstand Push Ups
    -10 KB Goblet Squats (W)55lb, (M)70lb
    -30 Double Unders

    *Rest 45sec between sets
