Weekly Monster Mash – 10/25/25
5 days ago
I've been doing CrossFit since June 2008, off and on. But more focused since Jan. 2009. I love the challenge of pushing myself and the continual improvement I get with CrossFit. It's also great to work out in a way that actually makes me stronger in my everyday life. No more asking a man to open jars for this gal!Powered by Blogger - BlackSplat design by SamK.

CF Jax has some killer programming... you can't go wrong using them.
Sweet video, Kate. Thanks for posting it. Lone Survivor is such a great read. One of the few times I've cried over the last few years.
I just wrapped up the video myself. The wife is the nutrition expert and picked up his book, so I'll probably skim through it tonight. I tell everyone I can get my hands on to eat meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar.
It's frustrating! People will see pictures of me with my shirt off and the first question they ask is how to get abs. I immediately say to eat the above. They don't like that answer. I repeat myself. They shrug in disbelief. "What about at the gym? What should I do?"
I respond, "Well, after you've eaten (the above) do front squats, overhead squats, burpees, and deadlifts."
At this point they've either walked away or given the facial expression of "This guy doesn't know what he's talking about."
That's where i cut'em off and say, "Hey, you can listen to me, the guy with abs, or you can go do your crunches and eat your low-fat Chips Ahoy"
Everyone wants and easy way out...
I got asked the strangest question today when I was telling an athlete what to eat:
"What about M&M's? Like, the ones with the nuts inside?"
I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious! So weird that someone would think that M&Ms are healthy!!!
Good on ya for switchin over to meat. I assume you don't eat animals because they're cute and cuddly, not health reasons. Sorry, I don't have an answer to that ... I'm a guy who enjoys beer-fed veal.
