Here’s a very interesting article on the nutrition of the so-called ‘energy bars’, such as the Power Bar or Zone bars you see in what I call the “health-food” candy section of your grocery store. While bars such as these are highly convenient, you might as well be beating your head against the wall. I [...]
Well, it’s officially a rest day so no working out for anyone. At least I don’t feel left out today!
The legs are coming along nicely, and I have almost gotten back a full range of motion with them. This is all anecdotal, but for 4 days they were staying the same/getting worse and then once [...]
Well, the workout for today looks awesome but I’m not allowed to do it because all these issues with my legs turned out to be rhabdomyolysis. Here are the details from the crossfit forum post I made:
I did last saturday’s tabata squats (scored 18) but I wasn’t hydrated well at all nor did I have [...]
I found a really cool article/interview with gymnastics Coach Christopher Sommer a while ago on T-Nation and figured I’d post it here for you all to read. The author, by the way, is Chris Shugart. Enjoy!
It happens every four years. Bodybuilders and fitness buffs around the world marvel at the physiques of the male [...]
Today’s workout was as follows:
Weighted Pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
I weigh 180lbs, and I added 40 lbs to the belt, so a total of 220lbs. Couldn’t properly warm up my whole body or stretch b/c my legs are still royally screwed up. Oh well, getting better daily. I also added in a few sets of 5 dips [...]
Today’s workout on CF was slightly leg-intensive, and since even coming out of a pirouette hurts like a mofo thanks to saturday’s squat-death workout followed by 5 hours of yardwork (mowing an acre with a pushmower being part of it), I opted to modify the hell out of this one. The original was as follows:
21-15-9 [...]
I have reproduced the full text of Nutrition & Physical Degeneration by Dr. Weston A. Price
A very interesting and recommended read! Aside from the link provided above, you may find it in the “library” category at left. As I add more e-books to the library, I shall move this category to it’s own catalog page. [...]

Today’s workout was pretty weird. It was: “In twenty seconds, do as many squats as you can, then rest 10 seconds. Repeat this seven more times for a total of 8 intervals, 4 minutes total exercise. The score is the least number of reps for any of the eight intervals.”
I scored 18, highest reps were [...]
I found this article on a forum I frequent now and again. They didn’t state their source or the copyright status, so I hope I don’t piss anyone off. If this article is yours, tell me and I’ll do what needs to be done!
Anyways, I’ve used the technique of nasal breathing for some time and [...]
