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...
...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 the spirit of providing feedback to you, your recommendations were right on point. Per your suggestion, I now get up early on tournament days and eat 2 chicken breasts, a whole avocado and a large yam about 4 hours before I'm scheduled to fight...
John, Thanks for posting the video of Mat Lalonde's lecture from the AHS. As a member of the scientific research community, it was refreshing listening to arguments for and against the numerous "Paleo-isms" that the CrossFit community likes to preach to promote this style of eating...
I am headed to the Ancestral Health Symposium tomorrow to hear a few of my friends present their thoughts on diet and lifestyle. For those of you that have not been plugged into the Paleo scene, the AHS is taking place at UCLA on Friday, August 5th and Saturday, August 6th...
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...
