Train like a Pirate
When you're on the road, you take every opportunity you can get to eat, sleep and train as well as possible, which often means making the best of a less than ideal situation. Yesterday, we woke up feeling the need to pick up something heavy. Since there aren't any CrossFit gyms in the Keys (seriously!) and all we have with us in terms of weighs are a couple ofkettlebells, we headed up to the local "box" - Pirate Wellness Center. [...]

Keys style! An oceanside met-con
We woke up in the Keys to winds blowing too hard to go fishing, so we decided to hit a quick and dirty met-con down by the water. While those “kitchen sink” WODs can be fun to program, including 17 different movements and complicated rep schemes isn’t necessary for an effective, high intensity workout. [...]

Whole9 US Tour: The Mid-Atlantic, plus Atlanta
On that note, Dallas and I mentioned on Robb’s podcast that we’ll be doing our own Road Trip Whole30 in May. First, we really need to spend some time 100% Eating Good Food ourselves – we’ve been having a little TOO much fun in the last month or two. In addition, we’re going to do this to dispel any and all future whining, complaining or excuses our clients and readers may have. [...]

Whole9 US Tour: Montclair, NJ
We started our road trip on Sunday afternoon, driving down to NJ for the night, and then hitting Guerrilla Fitness in Montclair, NJ for a few hours of training on Monday morning. Keeping our training schedule on track is one of our highest priorities during the trip, so we’re traveling with the basics for a roadside met-con: [...]

The Paleo Pitch
One of our questions was submitted by Tim in Hawaii. Tim asked us to re-vamp our CrossFit Elevator Pitch, presenting a similar summary of the Paleo diet. Now, we may not be bio-chemists like Robb, and certainly couldn’t answer some of the more technical questions he takes on during his Podcasts, but the request for a Paleo Pitch was right up our alley. [...]

Jump and GO! (Our visit with Coach B)
While in San Diego two weeks ago, Dallas and I were lucky enough to visit "Coach B" (Mike Burgener, the famous Olympic lifting coach) at his home in southern California. We headed up in the afternoon to get a tour of his place, work with him on some Olympic lifting and then go eat some giant steaks. [...]

Post-Workshop Consultations
Sometimes, our best ideas come from our readers. Last month, we received an email from Anne, currently in school in Texas. Anne wrote, “Are there are any other packages or services you offer thatare in between the consultation and the workshop (like a two week consultation or a 30 min phone call you can add on to the price of a workshop)?” [...]

Unplug, then plug it back in
Often in our own health and fitness pursuits, we forget that practicing "the basics" are what got us this far. Our air squat drills earned us an overhead squat PR, our dead hang pull-up strength bought us our muscle-up, and eating a clean diet full of foods that make us healthy gave us the energy, body composition and performance gains we've been so happy with. [...]

Repost: The Carrot Train to Crazytown
It reminded me of my now-infamous Carrot Confrontation. I was participating in a discussion on a message board when someone asked what I eat in a typical day. I replied with a list of things I had eaten that morning - chicken, radishes, egg whites, spinach, olives... and carrots. I mentioned I had eaten almost an entire bag of baby carrots. At which point, another poster responded, "You should be careful about eating so many carrots. Carrots are pretty high in sugar." [...]

Be the 17th listener
We’re still on vacation on the Left Coast, but took a break from our nutrition workshop and training with Coach B to jump online to make a fun and exciting announcement! The familiar refrain of “Robb Wolf, Andy Deas” will soon include a special addition… “And Whole9″. Yes, Dallas and I will be making a [...]
