What is important about this is by using CF Football it allowed for better periodization, tapering and peaking for competition. No one can stay on the razors edge of fitness all year long. If Crossfit is your sport I think one of the ways to approach your year long training program is to use CFF as your strength base in the off season...
“There was a time, in the not-so-distant past, when every athlete who trained with weights sported an impressive set of traps. Bodybuilders had them; shot putters had them, and, of course, so did Olympic lifters. That’s because they all did lots of heavy pulling movements in their programs. Currently, the only group of strength athletes who show any trap development are Olympic lifters, and those taking part in a scholastic or collegiate strength program which includes the power clean and shrug..."
“The more processed food you eat as an athlete the more likely you will suffer long-term damage from your concussion.” – Dr. Jack Kruse. Leave it to a smart friend to send me an article on diet and neurodegeneration called, "Where CTE, Diet and Neurodegeneration Meet" by Dr. Jack Kruse…thanks Robb.
Hey John, Thought it would be badass to have an article on setting up a cffb garage gym. Thanks for the suggestion. . I read your question and have been milling it over for a few weeks and agree there should be a simple easy set up guide for a garage gym...
I have recently become addicted to CrossFit Football but had a question pertaining to finding the right gym for the program. Ironically I can find plenty of gyms here in Phoenix, however, I am having a very difficult time finding a gym that works for CrossFit football. It just seems impossible to do it in your regular “globo gym.”...
A few weeks later, I received an advance copy of their book in the mail. You guys might not know this, but I like to barbeque. So much so I have a gas grill for the days when I am in the hurry and for the other 99% of the time I use a ceramic barbeque/smoker called a Big Green Egg. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Egg, it makes someone who is decent at the grill into a Food Network star. When I use the egg, I feel like I should have my own cooking show...
The next morning we jump in the car to head to Belfast. The drive to Belfast was eventful as we speed up there to meet Craig who had flown in from Glasgow. We ended up having lunch and dinner at the same restaurant, Made in Belfast. They turn out to have some great food and solid drink menu. After spending several hours eating and drinking we decided to navigate to the hotel...
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…
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...
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...
