Quiet Your Lizard Brain

Posted by Alex Cibiri in Tips & Advice , CrossFit

This guy is in your brain!
How can I explain the never-ending irrationality of human behavior?
We say we want one thing, then we do another. We say we want to be successful but we sabotage the job interview.We say we want to be thin but we eat too much. We say we want to be fit but we skip a training session or don't push ourselves hard when we do show up.

Chicken or Beef Stock

Posted by Rachael DeYoung in Recipes , Real Food , Paleo , Diet & Nutrition

 

 

Stock is nutritious and easy to make. Using stock as a base for meat, vegetables, and soups makes the foods easier to digest, and improves protein efficiency and nutrient absorption. Unfortunately, store-bought stocks and bouillon cubes have none of these great benefits, just added preservatives and chemicals such as MSG. I freeze ice cube trays of stock to use a couple at a time for a hot mug of broth, as a meat marinade, or to add to cooking oil or water when making stir-fry. Make a big batch of soup or stew to grab for lunch or dinner for the week.

Roast Chicken

Posted by Rachael DeYoung in Recipes , Real Food , Paleo , Diet & Nutrition

 

 

 

Roasting a chicken is easy and super tasty, and gives you enough meat for the week for much cheaper than buying boneless skinless breasts. Save the bones to make stock and you'll be able to whip together delicious soups and stews.

The Taming of The Goat

Posted by Alex Cibiri in Training , Tips & Advice , CrossFit

 

Failing 20 times on your last 3 double unders. 

Your knees don't listen to you and refuse to stay out on your last heavy squat reps.

That workout with the stupid _______ in it. Who cares if you can do ______ well anyways, whoever thought up that particular exercise was clearly a sadist.

Ever had only a few things standing between you and your goal? Everything else would be perfect, if only these things would work the way you wanted them to. 

These things are your goats.
