CrossFit Dark Horse

Some of us experience a bit of anxiety before stepping on the scale. Maybe it's been a while. Maybe you haven't been so good this weekend...and last weekend...and last week. However, the numbers that appear beneath your feet may not be deserving of the anxiety. Those numbers aren't giving the…

Unfortunately, many of us eating the Standard American Diet, or SAD for short, are not prepared to alternate between these fuel sources. Ingesting too many processed foods and carbohydrates causes our bodies to…

The Momentum of Decisions

By: Cody Volk 0

Sometimes we get into a slump. Maybe life got busy or your work schedule changed. Maybe you had a bad week of eating, drinking, and poor sleep making "getting back on track" an uphill battle. Falling off our plan the first time is a crossroads moment. We find ourselves split…

Which Diet is the Absolute Best?

By: Cody Volk 0

According to Dr. Peter Attia, the standard American diet is basically a killing machine. It's not so much that it was designed maliciously, but food designed to be cheap, good-tasting, mass-produced, and portable has negative effects on our health and our happiness.

The Last One to Cross the Finish Line

By: Cody Volk 0

I suppose there are some people who revel in the full attention of the class... Their gym mates are a captive audience focused on the lead athlete's performance. Every thrust of the barbell overhead, each swing of the rope underfoot, each piece of the WOD completed under the full attention of dozens…

Double Your Fun, Double Your…Ouch!

By: Cody Volk 0

We've all been there: looking over the WOD with excitement only to have our heart stopped cold when we see the dreaded exercise...double-unders. Double-unders are the great equalizer... The strongest lifters and fastest runners who haven't learned this technique are gridlocked in the workout as other athletes pass them by. This exercise…

It’s Just Like Riding a Bike

By: Cody Volk 0

So long Assault Bike. You'll be...well, so long. In May 2021, CrossFit LLC announced that the Rogue Echo Bike is the new official air bike of CrossFit. This ends the Assault Bike's position as the standard CrossFit Games bike since 2015. Our own gym made the switch around the same time,…

Let The Path Be Boring!

By: Cody Volk 0

I've tried every diet imaginable. I know how the stomach feels feeding it 200 calories every three hours, and how it feels while depriving it of anything but water and coffee for 18. I've been vegan and vegetarian and keto and paleo. I've been bulletproof too, and while feeling like a superhero, my body looked…
