New Years Day - Open House

Hey guys -

First please BE SAFE TONIGHT!!!

Reminder come on in tomorrow from 11am to 3pm with family and friends to have them check out the gym, and maybe partake in a easy light metcon to get their first day of the new year off to a great start. Giving your family and friends the gift of a healthy life is something they will have a hard time not thanking you for daily - so, start those loved ones off right with a great day at BattleBorn CrossFit!!! :0)

So, with that said I want to take this time to say thank you to all of you - MY CROSSFIT FAMILY! Your support, friendship, love, and caring have made this the most amazing year of my life. I could not imagine a day without seeing your faces, hearing your groans (lol), or getting that walk out the door hug - means the world to me. Please be safe tonight, and know always I love you, and your health, happiness, and safety are always on my mind.

Today we will be doing a WOD in honor of a family that has had pain I hope none of us ever have to endure. They are a strong family, and there request of having gym's take part in their WOD is a small thing in the light of our every day lives.

I have included the link to their page, so you can read more about the cause we are taking part in today.

http://www.curesmawod.blogspot.com/

Please post individually on their site, and I will post all of our times at the end of the day today.

SMA - Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease. The motor neurons affect the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing. It is a relatively common "rare disorder": approximately 1 in 6000 babies born are affected, and about 1 in 40 people are genetic carriers.

So, please as we are struggling threw this WOD think of the families that are struggling threw a much worse pain than a few thrusters.

"Bugaboo"

200 thrusters 35/20kg

See you all in the gym today with a smile on our face and a love for a family and all the other families struggling with this disorder.

CrossFit Radio Interview with Justin

Here is the link to the interview I recently did with Justin and CrossFit Radio...

The cool thing that I did not know, nor did Rob Ord is that we would be on the same show. Coach Ord is the creator of the "FMP" workouts we do on the weekends, and is a great coach, and wonderful person. So excited I was able to share the air time with him and Justin. :0)

Lumberjack WOD Saturday December 5

Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as, Lumberjack Crossfit . Four members of that affiliate were killed.

On December 5th, we need to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.

Let's all show up tomorrow and do this WOD to support the community. I want to see a huge turnout for this at BBCF in order to show our support. This is a HERO WOD let's honor our heroes!

Donate Here: http://www.cflumberjack.org/ or
https://www.rapidreghost.com/cfhf/FundraiserPage.php?frID=126 (this is the page I have set up for donations.)

WOW - today was a good day for new PR's in the box!!!! Almost everyone had a new PR, and those who did not have a new PR were new to deads and hit some great numbers!

Today tied in beautifully with the main site, so post your loads there as well!

Deadlifts

1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Two options here, you could start at your 70% of you max, and work your way up, or just go for it big dog style and see where you finish!

Metcon was a fun team workout -

5 rounds
6 turkish get-ups
10 tire flips

So, while one is doing T get-ups the other is flipping tire, then you switch, and when both of you has done each movement, you completed one round.

Few notes on lifts today - max for the board was J.C. with 191kg - sweet! Ryan cleared his PR by 20 - nice! Scott got a good one, which then pushed Steve at 7am to max a new PR. All and all - beautiful!!!!

Lightly grease cookie sheet ( I use Pam spray)
Warm honey in sauces pan until melted and cool slightly
Place the ground nuts and cinnamon (Protein Powder) in a large bowl and mix together
Pour melted honey onto nut mixture and stir until well blended
Stir in dried fruit
Place the mixture onto cookie sheet and spread it evenly to meet all edges
Bake for 15-20 minutes.

I let cool in pan for at least 2 hours to set and then cut in to squares.
If you can let it sit over night the cookies come out really nice.
It is helpful to put the squares into muffin papers or on wax paper for the obvious sticky consistency of the cookie.
When we did the math we found the cookies lacked enough protein to be Zone friendly.
If you want to experiment add Whey Protein Powder to the mix and up the protein for a more Zone friendly snack.

Surviving the Holiday Weight Game

This is a great link to an e-book for the Holidays - I know some of you on our Paleo Challenge were freaking out over the Holidays, and like I said strive for 100%, reach 80% and see the changes it will make in your life.

A way of life is what we are accomplishing here - not a fad diet, not a oh lets loose 10 pounds and then I am done with this meat, nuts, and veggie thing. A change for the better - an overall way of life including Health, Fitness, and Nutrition while still living Life to it's fullest!!!!

Enjoy your Holiday season!!!!!

Today we had a HERO WOD of a new sort - still a ass kicker of a workout, still a embrace the suck kinda day, still a hard as nails kinda WOD. The difference is, this one came from CrossFit Football as an honor to a fallen soldier.....

"Winchester"

5 x
30 overhead walking lunges with 60kg
200m sprint
30 kettlebell swings with 32kg


1st LT Ron Winchester - In 2000, Ron played in Navy's biggest football game of the season, against Army - and his best friend. There were no hard feelings when Navy beat Army 30-28. "He was like my brother. We had a lot of fun together," said former Army defensive tackle and pal Doug Larson. "He was independent, but we were both dependent on each other." Winchester, 25, of Rockville Center, N.Y., was killed Sept. 3 by a roadside bomb in Iraq’s Anbar province. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 2001 and was on his second tour in Iraq. "Ron was a very gregarious type of individual who was always in the middle of things," said his father, also named Ronald. "He was a true leader, always respected by his peers and dedicated to what he was doing." Winchester also is survived by his mother, Marianna. "When he came home last time, he sat in the dining room telling stories," family friend Maureen Chiaramonte said. "He said, 'Aunt Mo, you know what it's like. You get a choice to sit on the bench or play the game. I don't want to sit on the bench."
Remembering Ron Winchester

HUGS!!!!!!

So today in my ramblings on the Internet (should I be working you ask? YES - shhhhh!)

I found this video, it made me smile and made my eyes tear up - I have been accused of being flirtatious, over the top, touchy, feely, but it all just comes down to love, and feeling the over empowering joy of knowing someone, anyone (sometimes) cares to feel you close to them, and wants you to know how wonderful a HUG can make your day! That, and I love hugs!!!

Please watch the following video, and share it with your friends and family, before you know it we will all be welcoming and giving freely hugs for the simple pleasure of knowing we can!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL7Jo_1Z3Y8

Love you guys!!!

14 Ways to Save $$$$$ being Paleo

Thanks to Chandler for finding the article, and thank you to Kelli for posting it on CrossFit Maximus website.

14 Ways to Save Money Being Paleo

1. HUNT, FISH, or FORGE - Reconnect with your caveman roots and get your food straight from the source. Or, if that's not really you - ask your friends there are lots of hunters here in Nevada, you never know one of them might take you out show you how, or let you have some of their catch - but be prepared to be the forager, and give em some berries or nuts. :-)

2. Be your own transportation - It's no secret gas is expensive, so take advantage of nice weather and bike walk or run.

3. Never pay for water - Lets all get ourselves one of those nice aluminum water bottles - less the BPA in plastic bottles, and never pay for water again.

4. Bring your own bags - Some stores are giving discounts to those who bring in their own bags - save the environment, and get a discount? Sweet!

5. Eat at home - Eating out is expensive! Put your chef hat on and get acquainted with preparing your food at home. Lots of recipes and instructions on the net, or just ask one of your Paleo buddies what they like.

6. Buy things in season - Fruits and veggies, when in season, are not only more nutritious and flavorful but also much less expensive. Stock up on frozen fruits and veggies as well as freeze or dehydrate fresh fruits and veggies to last you throughout the off season.

7. Costco - Stock up in bulk on your nuts, spices, olive oil, fish oil, even your meats - though it may not be grass fed, or pastured, it is still a good source of the fats, and proteins we need.

7. Make your own snacks - Mix up your own trail mix, dry your own jerky or even fruits for a tasty treat.

9. Quit drinking - Entirely - no not necessarily, but cut back and see a change in your metabolism, and your performance in your WOD's.

10. Eliminate the latte factor - $4 a day can be a lot to add up to like around $1400.00 for a year if you drank one close to everyday - pays for your box membership plus. :-) Besides that, watch the sugar and those spots we hate, be it love handles, or muffin top - sugar = blahhh. Try black coffee or tea for that caffeine high.

11. Experiment with intermittent fasting - Occasional breaks from food is OK (24 hours or less) can help increase insulin sensitivity and improve fat mobilization. 1 day of IF a week can cut your grocery bill by 15%.

12. Grow your own - If you have the space and the time, grow it and share it with all your Paleo friends.

13. Recycle - Save your bottles = cash

14. Less expensive cuts of meat - The great thing about Paleo is that you do not have to be afraid of fat. You can go for the less expensive poultry - drumsticks with the skin on it, bone in, skin on breasts (stay so much more moist than the boneless skinless ones) with beef, use a crock pot, ground beef or meat sauce, dice it for stew. Canned meats - inexpensive way to eat as well.

Art Ladanga - GET WELL!

Hi guys - most of you know Art, and his beautiful daughters Jackie and Jenny.

Well Art has had some intestinal problems for a few years now, and the medical community had a hard time diagnosing it. Yesterday, after a cat scan at the ER - it was found he had an "adhesion" in his intestinal tract.

He went in for surgery, they cleared it up and he will be good to go before we know it.

He is doing good and annoying not only his wife Flor, but the doctor with constant questions of when he can get back to CrossFit!

You go Art!!!!!

He is at Renown, Tower Building room 306.

See you soon Art, we love you!

Wednesday 28,October 2009

Today was a great day in the box!!!

We had some outstanding numbers on the board!

CrossFit Total

Back squat
Shoulder press
Deadlift

1 max rep on each total combined lifts = score for the day.

So, you build up with 2 lifts prior to our third and final lift

Rep 1 = what your max 3 rep weight is
Rep 2 = what you know your 1 maz rep is
Rep 3 = your new one max rep!!!!

Mel thank you again for not CF Totaling out, and helping with class tonight!

Tuesday 27,October 2009

A nice lady WOD for your beautiful Tuesday.

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9

Squat Cleans 60kg

Monday 26, October 2009

After a long hard amazing weekend, we had a good hip opening body awakening metcon today.

5 rounds

10 burpee box jumps
20 heavy kettlebell swings (if you normally swing a 16kg, move to a 20kg)
250m row

This was a great way to start off the week!

Olympic Lift Certification Oct 24th and 25th

First and foremost thank you so much to the staff of Coaches that came to BBCF!!!
Second thank you to all the attendees for coming and making the amazing cert happen!

OK, so no idea where to start other than there will be some great changes in the box starting Monday the 2nd of November. I will actually be implementing them in all week, but I need to get my programming readjusted, and look at my notes etc.

Please take note, that Travis, Mel, Chandler, Scott, Jason, Gene, Alena, Ryan, and Denny all attended the certification this weekend. So please, as always if you feel you are struggling on a movement, or even the warm up drills we will be doing, ask any of us. We are so excited to share the knowledge we learned, and wanting all of you to grow and become stronger and faster with the help of the explosive Olympic lifts.

There is so much to say, but more so - so much to demonstrate!

Also, a huge thank you to the BBCF members mentioned above that attended the cert this weekend, your knowledge and ability helps me and everyone else - we all appreciate you!

Friday 23, October 2009

Warrior Dream

A lot of what we do is to protect ourselves.

We get locked into our roles, and then we are not as effective as we can be,

Because we are holding onto people and things that are stifling us...

Letting go of what we are aware that it no longer serves us now

And walking into the unknown is taking the next step as a

Warrior.

It's about being out front... moving beyond limits.

There is an innate desire in all creatures to grow.

Yet in any type of growth and change,

Something has to end for

Something new to begin.

Alice (mother of Daniel Cnossen)

http://www.dancnossen.org/

A blog Chandler sent to me - please read and remember we all have the Warrior spirit in us sometimes we always know it is there, sometimes it takes an act to pull it out of us. None the less it is there! Love to you all!

Thursday 22, October 2009

Thrusters

1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Solid effort with form and weight working with heavy weight until failure.

I asked the 6pm class if anyone hit a new PR today, and we all realized this was the first time we had done thrusters this way. So, it was PR's all the way around. LOL

Metcon to follow was a pretty little 12 min tabatta....

Push press - 20kg
Push ups
Row

First 8 mins is back and forth between push press and push ups for total reps, followed by 4 mis on the rower for total calories - total reps + total calories = score

We had some amazing weights on the thrusters from a high of 50kg for our ladies to a high of 95kg for our men. Great job guys!!!

Your body and its "Natural' composition/weight

Hi guys -

So, I get lots of different emails and blog posts I check and like to share them with you at times when I see one that truly makes me think - hmmmmm I like that one - let's share it.

This comes from a IF (intermittent fasting) author Brad Pilon - he has years of experience in the supplement industry, plus took a shot at bodybuilding. He has some great things to say a lot of the time, and has given up the supplements, and the bodybuilding - he is into IF, and having a healthy functional lifestyle. I have included his link at the bottom of this post written by Brad.

I like this a lot, because you will hear us in the box talking about being "happy" at our natural weight - or that our bodies are at their genetic size. We of course say this after our lifestyle changes, including functional movements, great foods, and all around good lifestyles.

Do you believe in set weight theory? I thought maybe, so I asked around, and it's a popular idea.
But here's the rub, people with 30% body fat are telling me that they are at their set weight.
A woman 5"3 weighing 210lbs told me she had lost 30lbs, and this was what her body really wanted to weigh.

Is this true?

I figured it there was a "set point" it was at least a healthy one with 20-ish% fat or less?

Here is my answer:

There are actually TWO set points you need to be concerned with...

The first is your GENETIC set point that determines how much lean body mass you carry.
The second is your ENVIROMENTAL set point for your body fat levels.

Your genetics determine how much muscle and lean body mass you are capable of carrying. This is mostly tied to your final adult height.
Your enviromental determines how much body fat you carry.

This includes: How you were brought up, your daily activities, the friends you have, where you live, your economic and social status.... These are the things that determine how much body fat you have.

Both set points are CHEAT-ABLE TO A DEGREE.

To change your body fat set point you need to change your enviroment. You need to change your HABITS. You need these changes to permeate through your friends and family. Everyone needs to except the changes you are making in your lifestyle. Losing weight without changing your lifestyle habits is like helping a drug addict recover, then throwing them back onto the streets, with the same friends, and same money issues = same lifestyle.
They are bound to become drug addicts again.

The same thing happens when you loose weight.
If you loose 20 or 30 pounds, then go back to your old lifestyle, eating the same food and amounts you used to eat, no matter if its with your same friends, or doing your same exercise you used to do before you lost weight then you are GOING to gain the WEIGHT BACK.

Long term weight loss, and healthy lifestyles requires a complete shift in how you live.

Bottom line, there ARE such things as "set points", however ENVIROMENT is the main component of your body fat set point and no matter what your genetics are, your enviroment is the biggest challenge in maintaining a healthy level of body fat.

CHANGE YOUR HABITS AND LIFE STYLE long term, and you can lose weight and keep it off long term.

YOUR BODY DOES NOT WANT A SPECIFIC LEVEL OF BODY FAT - BUT YOUR LIFESTYLE DOES!

Brad Pilon
http://www.bradpilon.com/


So, this is the jist of his post - I thought I would share it for those of us who just started the Paleo Challenge, and for those of us who have that few extra pounds we may or may not need to loose. Whatever it may be, by changing your lifestyle, giving up those processed foods, and carrying on with CrossFit, or the functional movements you may be doing in your garage - it will change! YOU WILL SEE IT AND FEEL IT!!!

Fall Rowing Challenge Results

Great job rowers!!!!

BattleBorn CrossFit place 110 out of 256 teams!

"Tyler"

Five rounds for time of:

7 Muscle-ups - or 4 pull ups and 4 dips for every muscle-up
95 pound Sumo-deadlift high-pull, 21 reps

Post time to comments.
