C&T Ep. 16: Are we creating new ways to die? (Weird audio last 8 minutes or so)

Joel competes tonight (Friday) at Vintage CrossFit. 

The Book Club and Nutrition Challenge Launch September 4th. 

Ben postulates that the human race will always create a new way to die as soon as we eliminate an old way to die. They then get into a discussion on why robots will be better stewards of this earth and therefore inevitably exterminate us. 

Shenanigans. 

C&T Ep. 15: Real Talk, Feedback may taste bitter

The boys try to keep it light but get pulled into 3 or 4 rabbit holes related to giving effort, meaning what you say, laying a solid foundation and not chasing shiny things. 

 

~35:20- your pre-req for showing up at Black Wolf CrossFit is effort

 

~38:40- Full bore try 

 

~41:20- Instagram glute stuff 

 

~45:20- You gotta do the work. It’s about consistency and not going to the sexiest movement possible. 

C&T Ep.14: Team Coaching, Adding Value, and General Disdain for Ego and Incompetence

We talk about the standard two coach system we use for most of our classes and the issues we have had bringing new/experienced coaches into it. 

Feed the Wolf: 4 Points on Nutrition

Yesterday we had a small group nutrition talk after our awesome First Saturday event and I wanted to pass along the main points that the group dicussed. 

 

I. Keep it simple: Lean meat and vegetables is the foundation of all our meals. Then we add a bit of fruit and some carby veggies (squash and potatoes, maybe rice). We drink water or tea and we love life. 

 

II. It took work to get where you are. Respect that work it will take to get you where you want to be. 

 

III. Write it down Past and Future

 

III. Predict the Obstacles and have a plan

 

IV. Start Simple but Sprinkle in the Fancy 

C&T Ep.13: The boys are back!

Joel returns from vacation in the Dominican Republic. Ben reviews his trip briefly. Then things go all over.

C&T Ep.10: The standards of coaching at Black Wolf and why Ben has to learn from his mistakes a lot

The Sit Down: Mike Martin

Mike Martin walked in our doors past halfway through his 50s and he has not looked back. We talk about what it was like starting a program as a non-typical athlete, why he took to the nutrition foundation so quickly, the communities impact on mental health, and the goals he has set for the near future. 

 

If you somehow do not know this amazing man, he is incredible. He is always there to support you and help you whenever you ask. Enjoy the interview!
