Leaning Out
John, I’m sure you get this sort of question a lot, but I don’t remember a clear answer in any TTMJ or board post. I completely understand if this info isn’t something that you disclose to just anybody, so no pressure…
Zombie Preparation Update
I get a few questions and comments a day on my Zombie Preparation posts. Recently, someone asked if I would make any changes to weapons choices. Yes. I have come across a few new weapons I would add to my zombie survival list. The first weapon on our updated list just missed the cut for the last Zombie Preparation posts and after some serious consideration, it lands on top...
CrossFit Football Feedback
I have always been on the heavy side. I was always okay with it since I played offensive line from seven years old all the way up till my Sophomore year of college. That year my life took an interesting turn, as most of my friends started doing drugs and partying all the time. And while I made the decision to not be involved with the drinking and partying, I eventually quit playing football...
Game-Day Nutrition Feedback
...you had responded to my question back in March on this site (TTMJ) regarding Game-Day Nutrition for athletes, specifically Jiu-Jitsu tournaments in my case.

In-Season Training
Hey Johnnie, I know your super busy and don’t have time for many in-depth answers to questions. Furthermore, I run a nutrition company and have played rugby for several years so I don’t need too much explanation, just a simple yes/no...
Reflections in Iron: Mike Webster – Starting Strength
I’ve been asked from time to time about the training methods of my father, Mike Webster of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is recollection will, of course, be colored by the lens of youth, and for the life of me I can’t remember the exact poundages or set/rep schemes he used for the most part, having been so small that my own workouts alongside him consisted of straining to deadlift the empty curl bar...
Scaling for Women
Hi there, I am curious about workout scaling, as far as weight is concerned on the METCONs for women. I am a rugby athlete and avid CrossFitter...
MCL
John, First of all thank you for all of the information that you have put up on the site. The advice and WODs have really helped me bring my Rugby to the next level. About three months ago I hurt my knee while running...
