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, C&J, 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.

As a special lunchtime treat today K-Ped came in to see us. Not to workout mind you...just to hang out and antagonize the crew while they worked. After everyone was done with their workout Charlie asked me, "Can me and K-Ped take the tire out?". I said sure. 10 minutes later I looked outside and this is what I saw. Moral of the story: K-Ped is an instigator.

What's for dinner?




In order to maximize your results, you need to also take your diet seriously. Some people are fanatical about their workouts, but neglect what they eat. This will never allow you to maximize your results or performance. Others are almost religious about what and when they eat. This will undoubtedly get you results, but it may be hard to live with over the long haul. Rare are the individuals that can maintain a strict diet for a lifetime. This will lead to the infamous "falling off of the wagon."Our advice is to follow a healthy diet that enables you to optimize not only your workouts, but have the energy to lead a happy healthy life. Unless you are one of the rare individuals with a hyper sense of discipline (or if you are training for an event) we also advise you to set a diet that you can live with for the rest of your life.


Here is a good starting point when setting your diets: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/start-diet.html


Remember, we don't look at our diets as a way to drop "that last 10lbs"! Your diet is merely fuel for the machine that is your body!

Liz is the first person who has ever asked me why I don't take pictures of the 6:30am class. The reason I don't take pictures is because I know better than to pull a camera out at 6:00am in front of a group of women. They all ran for the hills when they saw it today....except one!

The other day my 6 year old asked me, "Who is the strongest man in the world?". I don't know if he is really the strongest man in the world, but Greg Amundson from CrossFit Santa Cruz popped into my head right away as someone with awesome functional strength to show him. I showed him a picture of Greg and he said, "Oh ya. That guy looks strong."

As far as functional strength goes, Greg is pretty damn strong.

"The ability to explosively and powerfully open the hip joint is necessary and nearly sufficient for elite atheticism. 'Necessary' in the sense that we know of no elite athletes who lack this ability. 'Nearly sufficient' in the sense that anyone who develops this capacity will then quickly learn to run, jump, throw, punch, kick, & sprint like a demon."--Greg Glassman
