Application

You can take the best minds in the world when it comes to program design, the best equipment and the location and the still not the see the results of a single coach in a home garage gym with a barbell. Every program whether it be BFS, CrossFit Football’s Power Athlete, Westside, Wendler’s 5-3-1 or Starting Strength is only as good as the implementation by the coach or athlete and how well as the athlete’s dedication to the program...

Vision & Culture

How do you foster and encourage a competitive spirit in a place where most dudes would rather stand around in the mirror admiring how awesome they are? I would love to have some awesome competitions with lots of folks really pushing to be the best. I would also love to see more dudes in our place practicing more fundamental, functional training, but you can't have everything. Our squat racks only get used by about 8% of our membership...

Thank You

I wanted to drop a shout out and thank you to the people that stepped up and supported Wade's Wings. This charity is very important to me and my family and seeing the support that was given was inspiring. This little boy's memory needed our help and many of you answered the call. Friend's like Robb Wolf, author of the NY Times Best Seller, Paleolithic Solution, and Mark Sission from Mark's Daily Apple were among the earliest contributors. Our biggest contribution came from Mitchell and Jenna Young who contributed a total of $620. Thank you...

Blood Work

He forwarded me you email, as this is my wheelhouse. I have been involved in laboratory testing of athletes and non-athletes since 1989 and have a data base of over 30,000 subjects. I make the following suggestions and share with you that you can get these tests ordered by any physician and performed at a variety of labs. However in almost every case I have reviewed, people mess things up. Either the physician orders the wrong tests or skips tests that are important and/or the client/patient does something to mess up the results. So first let’s standardize things...

Swagger

I want to thank you for the programming. I don't play football, but I did reap the benefits of your training today. I caught a guy breaking into my truck and trying to steal my dog and guitar this afternoon. WTF! I sprinted over and leapt while kicking the door into his body and then preceded to beat him mercilessly and finally, power clean and body slam him into a wall. Without your program, I wouldn't have been able to do what had to be done; sprinting, jumping, beating down was just another DWOD. Now I am going to have some tequila...

#Occupy Farmland

Hey John...Thank you. You have given so much with TTMJ and the CFFB site, it has had a profound impact on my life. Suffice it to say I went from a 180# off of traditional CF programming to 208# off of CFFB from August 2011 to the present. My CFFB total has evolved from below 1000 to 1335 for the latest one on the site (Post-#OS Chicago), in which every single lift was a PR (PC 240, SQ 365, BP 230, DL 500). Your site is an invaluable resource, and the shit works, period. Thank you for giving us a small glimmer if what it is like to be "Welbourn Strong". I will be seeing you soon as I am bringing a group to get their cert's at the Bloomington-Normal weekend...

Sustainability

“How much evil throughout history could have been avoided had people exercised their moral acuity with convictional courage and said to the powers that be, 'No, I will not. This is wrong, and I don't care if you fire me, shoot me, pass me over for promotion, or call my mother, I will not participate in this unsavory activity.' Wouldn't world history be rewritten if just a few people had actually acted like individual free agents rather than mindless lemmings?"...

Crock Pot Reflections: Big Bubba Update

I wanted to share photos and give some feedback on the Big Bubba's Ribs recipe.They came out better than expected. I substituted carrots for sweet potatoes...as I was out of sweet potatoes. It was a bit light on the salt for my taste, but that is an easy fix as I can add salt to the finished product. This one might need a few attempts to perfect, and as you can imagine I will jump on the sword until it is perfected. And remember...Serves 1...
