Cave Strong--overview of our seminars since 2007
Just
thinking back about the seminars I have had at my gym over the years,
with non-CrossFit coaches, and what came out of them.
We hosted a few excellent CrossFit Certs. also, with Jeff Martone /CrossFit Kettlebell and George Ryan/ CrossFit Striking, which were excellent.
When I did our first Strongman seminar with Tom Mitchell in 2007, we only had a handful of athletes attend, Elliott Hulse and Ryan Magin were there.
When we hosted Bud Jeffries and Scott Weech, still only a handful attended. One was Josh Martin who now owns CrossFit For Glory.
When we hosted Dave Schmitz same thing, only a few showed for that excellent event.
When we hosted John Brookfield, the founder of Battling Ropes, just a few athletes/coaches were there, like Julio Anta & Bud Jeffries.
When we hosted Rich Lansky, same thing. The numbers have always been low, but the quality of those who attended has been exceptional.
When we hosted Sincere Hogan, only a few attended to learn from him.
When we hosted Aly Willier, same thing again.
Same with Chuck & Vanessa Bennington ( who are on the CrossFit Seminar Instructor Team).
The same thing happened with Iron Brawl today, a handful of dedicated athletes were there who will dominate their competition over the course of time.
Carlos "Bar-Bender" Gonzalez already holds an RPS record for Masters Deadlift, and Chris Manco will also make his presence know in competition in the near future.
Tom Mitchell once said, in his Strongman manual, that many could be that strong, but most don't want to work that hard. He was right!
I'll always be thrilled to work with the "dedicated, coachable few".
They listen and they know what work really means!

How to have a heart attack by age 35 (or avoid it)
I was talking with one of my clients the other day, a young professional, about making training a high priority in a person's life.
I have seen a trend over the last few year, though not new, that has gone to a whole new level. It is not having enough time.
With more time-saving technology than ever before in the history of the world, more and more people say they don't have time.
Well, here's what the situation really is:
They don't know how to prioritize the time they do have
We all have 24 hours in a day to invest . No one has 28, even if they wish they did.
Some of that time is for sleep, of course, which most people don't get enough of.
During waking hours there always seems to be time for
They cram much of this into their day, then they are always in a hurry to get to the next thing.
They drive way over the speed limit, tailgate the car in front of them no matter how fast the other guy is driving. It's never fast enough for them, because they are always behind.
They seem to be angry all the time, especially when driving. Being angry so often wears a person out mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Add up all these negative factors, and you've got a recipe for disaster in the form of an early heart attack or stroke or both.
If you're getting angry reading this, it could mean you are living this way. Maybe you feel trapped in this lifestyle, like a gerbil on a treadmill. You don't have to be unless you choose to be!
You can change it.
Start changing it today!

- eating junk food

- texting

- watching TV

The Cave Strong Difference
The Cave is for those who truly want to become as radically strong. Strength
drives all human movement. Nothing works without strength.
The Cave is not for those who want to "say they do CrossFit" because it's cool.
The Cave is not cookie-cutter style CrossFit, we don't look like other CF gyms, we don't train like them either, though we still do metcons & amraps, etc. There is so much more that needs to be done to achieve true strength.
There are some very good CrossFit gyms around, and I know the coaches personally. I respect them for what they do; however, we are on a different path.
The Cave is the Cave, not just another CF box. Our expression of CrossFit is different from most.

Wow! Our "two week free trial" took off like crazy!
There are some very smart folks out there, they know a good deal when they see one!
Getting 2 weeks free at the Cave is quite a deal!
