Cave Strong--Don't put limits on your training
I had the opportunity to get involved with CrossFit, before it was cool, way back in 2005.
Actually, I found it in 2004, but didn't start training until the next year.
I stayed on the message board, and learned everything I could as I was investigating , then took the plunge.
My wife and I flew to the original CrossFit in Santa Cruz, CA and spent 3 days under the instruction of Coach Greg Glassman. Being the leader that he is, I remember him talking about someday someone would be better at some aspect of training than we were. He said we'll learn from them and incorporate it into CrossFit. He stressed "broad, general, and inclusive" fitness; learning and growing continually.
I knew that was a very insightful approach.
Years later, I was watching Dave Castro on a video talking about learning from credible non-CrossFit coaches. In fact, he encouraged it.
Westside Barbell is a good example. Now, AJ Roberts teaches powerlifting seminars for CrossFit.
How cool is that?
Strongman training was added through Rob Orlando, which was great!
Other notable coaches, like Zach Even-Esh, Jeff Martone, George Ryan, Brian MacKenzie to name a few have all influenced CrossFit over the ears in a very positive way.
We incorporate all these various elements of training at our CrossFit gym.
I refuse to put limitations on our training!

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!
