Kicking the Week Off Right...
Good Morning!
Last week we had amazing attendance at the afternoon classes, however the morning classes are becoming thinner and thinner. Try going to a morning class every now and then. Switch up your routine to give your body a bit of a shock and you may see some results.
This SATURDAY morning class and NEXT MONDAY'S CLASSES will be CANCELLED due to the holiday weekend. I know some of you are thinking about Memorial Day Murph, however we are postponing it until such a weekend that we can have a great turn-out and from what I hear, quite a few people already have plans this weekend. Also, "Murph Day" (Sealfit.com) is considered to be on June 4th and you can make donations on Sealfit.com to the Navy Seal foundation in honor of it.
Let's kick this week of right and finish strong on Friday evening.
WOD: 3 Rounds
Run 600m
30 Pull-Ups
30 OH Lunge (45/25)
Hybrid: Back Squat 10x2
H-WOD: 5 Rounds
5 Bar-Facing Burpees
10 Deadlift (225/185)

Active Rest Day to work on Skills....But Why?
Ok Everyone,
I am getting a lot of questions/critiques about the new phase program which I appreciate any feedback you want to give. I'm using this opportunity to present a few reasons/answers for some....
1. I know you can perform some of the requirements for something above your own...These phase programs are there to EXPOSE your weaknesses. If you can perform 10 Handstand Push-Ups but not hold an OH Squat postition with PVC for 30 seconds, there is something wrong there. By working these exposed weaknesses, our goal is to have you move better and more efficient so those higher standards are to the best of your ability.
2. I am going to be VERY strict when it comes to these standards. Squat depth, chest to deck, ear over bar, locked shoulders and elbows, etc....The reason I am so strict is because these low numbers I am asking for should be no problem to perform near perfect because the higher reps that are in many workouts cause fatigue and lack of technique. If we reinforce that technique now while your movement patterns are still not set in stone, we can help prevent injury and promote better performance.
3. The Phase I give you is the Phase I give you...PERIOD!
4. Challenges can be thrown out anytime you are in the gym. However, it cannot and will not take time away from any of the classes.
I hope you take this phase system to heart because I want everyone to reach those goals and beyond! I don't want just Ben and Lance to perform Rx'd WOD's. I want Lauren, Ron, Charlie's, Jared, Libby, Sarah, Jenny, Jennifer, Kyle, Matt's, Gerrit, Tanner, Deena, etc... And everyone else that shows up to get to the point where you are all competing as Rx'd! Some may not get there or may come close, but to know that you are near or at the top of your game on every WOD is something I would love to have! Wouldn't you?
Hope to see all of you guys today!
Nate

Scallops?!? Why the hell not!
Yesterdays afternoon turn-out was awesome! Over 20 people between 2 classes and I want it to keep going!!! Because of this, I figured a special recipe was in order.....
Scallops with Almonds and Bacon (20 Minutes and Serves 3)
You will need...
4 Slices of Bacon (or more to just have more bacon)
1/2 Cup almonds
1 large handful parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound scallops
Cook the bacon until crispy, then cool slightly and crumble into a food processor with almonds and parsley. Pulse until the almonds are in small pieces.
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foam subsides (if you prefer, you can cook the scallops in the leftover bacon grease which is amazing instead of olive oil and butter mix).
Add the scallops to the skillet. Turn the heat to high and cook for about 2 minutes or until the scallops are brown on one side then turn and brown the other side for a minute or 2, but rare in the middle. If you prefer a firm texture, 1-2 mintes more.
Sprinkle the bacon over the scallops on a plate and serve! ENJOY!!!!

Check Out Mobility WOD If You're Feeling Locked Up!
http://mobilitywod.blogspot.com
Give it a peek! K-Starr is the leading expert for ROM and Mobility when it comes to Crossfit, and pretty damn smart in my opinion.
I need an opinion from our Runners of the box....
What would you say to a separate programming 1-2 Days each week that had interval runs and endurance paired with the daily WOD? It's an idea I am toying with because I know how many of our Crossfitters love to run and compete in Triathalons and Marathons. It would be once or twice a week, possibly before Saturday 10am WOD and once more during the week. It would work like a pre-WOD assignment or Interval Training. I would prescribe sprint intervals at certain distances either on the rower or running and you would complete it prior to that days WOD (Saturday you would be allowed in the gym at 9am so you could finish and still attend the Saturday WOD). Let me know what you think!
WOD: For Time....
Row 500m
10-8-6-4-2 Pull-Ups
2-4-6-8-10 Deadlifts (255/185)

Chorizo and Almond Crusted Halibut
Should take about 25 minutes and serve 2 people...
You will need:
-1/2 Cup (2 ounces) roughly chopped Spanish chorizo (cured salami, not raw sausage)
- 1/4 cup blanched almonds with no skin
-1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley
-2 skinned halibut fillets (works with other white fish) about 1/2 pound each.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a blender, blend the chorizo, almonds and parsley until almonds are in small pieces.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of a pan and set the fish on top. Spoon the chorizo mixture on top of the fish, patting it down so it sticks as much as possible and the sides are partially covered.
Roast in the oven for 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. To finish, turn the oven broiler to high and broil for 2-4 minutes until the nuts are lightly browned.

Hope Everyone Had a Great Weekend, but now its Back to Business! Chili, Rest, and Good WOD'S!!!
Whats up Crossfitters,
As you know, a lot of people are leaving us this month and next month (Jenny, Lance, etc..) and I hope to see some big classes to give these guys a great send off. They have been here for a long time and its sad to see them go.
On a funnier side of things, please check this out:
Just a little show of how Crossfit is SPREADING AND FAST!!! Charles Barkley is not the first public figure to give Crossfit a shout but its probably one of the best videos you are going to find! If you find another, please let me know so I can post it! I love showing examples of our Crossfit is spreading to all different areas, including retired basketball greats!
Primal Fitness Advice: REST!!!!! Back when our Primal ancestors did NOT have alarm clocks, they fell asleep with the sunset and woke with the sun rise! Now I understand this is nearly impossible for most working individuals, but it gives you an idea of how our bodies are programmed to rest. Block your time accordingly to get adequate sleep, keep cortisol (stress) levels down, allow the body to recovery, and who doesn't love that feeling of waking up KNOWING you got just the right amount of sleep?!
Primal Recipe Of the Day: My Own Paleo Chili!
1-2 lbs of Beef, Chicken, Ground Bison, or Deer (Haven't tried it with anything else)
2-4 Cups of Chopped or Crushed Tomatoes
2-3 Sliced Green/Yellow/Red Peppers
1/4-1/2 Cup Sliced Jalapeno's
Salt Free Chili Seasoning ( Hyvee Has some Good Ones)
If you want more substance, add diced celery.
Take out the Jalapenos if you aren't a spicy person.
Cook the meat in a large skillet adding a few general seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt maybe, onion powder, etc...)
Add all ingredients to a large cooking pot or crock pot and stir so the chili seasoning can mix evenly with all of the meat and veggies. The longer it sits, the better it will taste!
WOD: 4 Rounds of....
Run 400m
10 Front Squat

Hybrid: DE Front Squat 10x2
WOD: 5 Rounds Each for Time ( 2 Min Rest Intervals)
5 Hang Squat Cleans

A little Mainsite WOD and a few new pleasantries from Primal Blueprint....
Hello Crossfitters,
I hope to see everyone in the box today for a kick-ass Mainsite inspired WOD. Also, as many know I went to a Primal Accelerated Success Training seminar with The Primal Blueprint Guru himself, Mark Sisson. Along with Marks charm, he gave us all a huge amount of knowledge and resources which I will be slowly sharing with all of you.
Primal Tip of the Day: Get to know the butcher at your grocery store. I'm not talking about the deli guy at Wal-Mart, but real butchers. In Columbia, I know Hyvee and Schnucks have individuals who a decently knowledgeable with their meats. This way, you can learn more about specials, different cuts, where your meat comes from, and what goes into the processing of it.
Primal Recipe of the Day: Espresso Rubbed Steak
You will need...
- 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
-2 tablespoons finely ground espresso
-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I prefer using a less amount with sea-salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound flank or skirt steak
Mix together the ancho chili powder, ground espresso, salt and black pepper. Rub the mixture into the steak, covering it completely. Slice the steak into thin strips.
Heat a little bit of oil in a pan(what oil do you think would work best? Walnut? Coconut?) over high heat and add the steak, searing for 4-6 minutes or until it reaches desired doneness.
Time it should take: 15 Minutes

I hope to see everyone in the box today for a kick-ass Mainsite inspired WOD. Also, as many know I went to a Primal Accelerated Success Training seminar with The Primal Blueprint Guru himself, Mark Sisson. Along with Marks charm, he gave us all a huge amount of knowledge and resources which I will be slowly sharing with all of you.
Primal Tip of the Day: Get to know the butcher at your grocery store. I'm not talking about the deli guy at Wal-Mart, but real butchers. In Columbia, I know Hyvee and Schnucks have individuals who a decently knowledgeable with their meats. This way, you can learn more about specials, different cuts, where your meat comes from, and what goes into the processing of it.
Primal Recipe of the Day: Espresso Rubbed Steak
You will need...
- 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
-2 tablespoons finely ground espresso
-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I prefer using a less amount with sea-salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound flank or skirt steak
Mix together the ancho chili powder, ground espresso, salt and black pepper. Rub the mixture into the steak, covering it completely. Slice the steak into thin strips.
Heat a little bit of oil in a pan(what oil do you think would work best? Walnut? Coconut?) over high heat and add the steak, searing for 4-6 minutes or until it reaches desired doneness.
Time it should take: 15 Minutes
