Guess what time of year it is again…? Yup, you guessed it! It’s time for the Whole Life Challenge. What better way to start the fall then to kick start yourself into high gear with 8 weeks of total dedication to your training, mobilizing, supplementation (fish oil), and eating healthier than ever.

I broke out my wristbands from the late 80’s today during a WOD and was amazed at the outcome of never looking so cool before. My hands didn’t get soaked with arm sweat and the chalk on them didn’t turn into tribal face paint. My grip was dry and solid. Lesson learned…If you haven’t found a way to keep your sweat in check, try out a pair of old school

CrossFitting, we put our entire body to the test each and every day. Some parts of the body tend to take the beating a little better than others.

One of the things you can do to

Nik courageously walked – untethered – over 1400 feet from end to end which amounts to over 4 football fields across! If Nik were to succumb to any of the stressors presented by the walk (overpowering wind gust, mental or physical fatigue, mechanical failure of the line, etc…) about 1,500 feet

A couple reminders for the next few days… Its going to get exceptionally HOT for the rest of the week. Make sure to hydrate BEFORE you WOD and replace all lost fluids as soon as you finish.
