Unexpected Friends

As always, a sincere thank you to Jeannie at Beach Crossfit http://beachcrossfit.com, for having the facility, time and energy to put into allowing all of these things to happen!

This weekend has been a wild weekend! Yesterday Allison and Brendan roll into town and get a workout in, and then this well muscled tatooed stranger walks in saying he is passing through town and want to get a workout in. Through the whole workout I scratch my head knowing that I know this cat from somewhere. Afterwards, he states he knows me from my videos and tells me he is tatoo nicky from the boards! Holy Boly another famous person! I watched videos of this cat in Iraq (thank you brother for your service to our country) and all sorts of stuff!
How cool! Later today, the whole lot of us are meeting for an all out demolition WOD! This guy is a bad ass like the rest of em'! WOW!

What is REAL Training about?

The fitness that we advocate and develop is broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. In practice, this encourages the athlete to disinvest in any fixed notions of sets, rest periods, reps, exercises, order of exercises, routines, peridodization, etc. Nature frequently provides largely unforeseeable challenges; we train for that by striving to keep the training stimulus broad and constantly varied. Our toolbox contains gymnastics rings, barbells, bumper plates, dumbbells, parallel bars, pull-up bars, medicine balls, rope, mats, and some odds and ends like kettlebells, a giant tire,and sandbags.Our tools and exercises have long records of distinction outside of and long before we started. In earlier times every “gymnasium” had parallel bars, rings, vaulting horse, dumbbells, barbells, and heavy bags. The rudiments of gymnastics and weightlifting were taught to all school kids. They were also an integral part of military physical training. Today gymnastics and weightlifting protocols rarely mix. The most effective stimulus for developing agility, balance, coordination, accuracy, flexibility, trunk control, and upper body strength rarely mixes with the most effective stimulus for developing overall strength, power, speed, and explosive hip extension. THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

WORLD CLASS FITNESS IN 100 WORDS

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, clean & jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc. hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
