The Daily Grind

Jul 28th, 2010

The Daily Grind

When you first start the Whole30, the transition to black coffee is often a rough one. For many, the coffee tastes so awful that they find themselves drinking far less than normal. (Which in our eyes is a good thing, but doesn't always make our readers very happy.) [...]

Thanks, Toronto!

Thanks, Toronto!

We're wrapping up here in Toronto, spending a few extra days kicking around the city. We jammed three workshops into our first international visit, and had a great time with each and every group. [...]

Steal This Meal: A Wok-Tastic Stir Fry

Today's Steal This Meal comes from Whole9 reader and CrossFit North Fulton member Tom Denham. Tom learned about the Whole30 diet after members of CrossFit North Fulton (Roswell, Georgia) attended a Whole9 Nutrition Worskhop at CrossFit East Decatur on May 1st. [...]

The end of the road

The end of the road

As of Wednesday, July 14th, our road trip was officially over. The final stats? We traveled for 70 days, drove 12,300 miles and passed through 24 states (not including two provinces in British Columbia). And most importantly, after spending 24 hours a day for the last 7 weeks shoulder to shoulder in a mid-sized Subaru Legacy... Dallas and I are still happily speaking to each other. [...]

Whole9 in Toronto!

We’re heading out to Toronto this weekend, where we’ll be conducting our first international workshops at two different venues - CrossFit Colosseum, and CrossFit Academy of Lions. [...]

Steal This Meal:  Cashew Hummus

Steal This Meal: Cashew Hummus

The trouble is, we searched health food stores far and wide all across the country over the next two months, and never again discovered a similar product. Undaunted, we did the only thing we could... and called in our resident (though virtual) Culinary Expert. Of course, we're talking about our good friend and gourmet goddess Melissa Joulwan, of the blog The Clothes Make the Girl. We knew Mel could come up with a recipe for our cashew pate that would be just as good - if not better - than the original. [...]

Whole9 Comes Home(ish)

Of course, our final trip "home" wouldn't be complete without a blow-out nutrition workshop for all our local friends. And as of this morning, we're happy to announce a location... one of our favorite New England boxes... CrossFit Boston! [...]

The coolest thing you’ve never used

The coolest thing you’ve never used

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Power Wheel. It's similar in nature to an ab wheel, designed to work core strength and stability. The difference is that you you strap the contraption on your feet instead of holding on to it with your hands. Which, in a scientific study recently conducted in Bellingham, WA, increases your suffering by 72.4%. [...]

The Suitcase Deadlift

Jul 5th, 2010

The Suitcase Deadlift

Take away the barbell, and these should look exactly like your normal deadlift. Same set-up position, same lumbar curve, same shoulder/scapular retraction. Because these are unilateral, however, they add a new dimension to the pull. [...]
