THANK YOU to my friend Taylor for sending this video to me. The folks over at Vooray may just have a little TOOO epic of a life.
I’m just kidding. It looks like they’re just about as Epic as they need to be.
This may be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post, and that’s because my life has been incredibly busy over the past 4-6 weeks.
The bad news is that you haven’t had the joys of reading my excellent commentary on the amazing athletes I get the privilege to coach on a daily basis, and you haven’t had your regular “Moments of Awesomeness”.
The good news, though, is that I have been stock-piling info. Waiting for life and me to get back in sync with one another so I can hit the ground running. That time has arrived.
Didn’t you know it’s “Get Your Hustle On September“?
Well, buckle up. Things are about to get real.

Just a friendly reminder that there is no Sunday Funday today, due to the second day of the Colorado CrossFit Open!!
If you have some free time, come down to Front Range CrossFit, cheer on your fellow athletes and see some of the Top Athletes in the entire state!
Hope to see you there 🙂

Moment of Awesomeness: 8/18/11

The Moment of Awesomeness posts promised to go from the dirt, to the snow, to the city streets this week. Today is day three, so let’s get back on the asphalt!
Danny MacAskill is hands down one of the best trial riders in the world. The video description for the one posted below actually says, “For Danny, the city is one enormous playground.” If you don’t believe it, just watch.
His precision, body control, and self-awareness is just incredible if you watch some of his moves through Capetown on that bike of his. So cool!
Some of you may be saying to yourselves, “Dude, all of these videos you’re posting have something helping people move. Bikes, Skiis, Snowboards… What about the art of just moving your own body?” If you are… stop being ungrateful. These videos are still cool. But if you’re serious, check out another Parkour/Free Running video that I’ve shared with you guys before.
Just like the mountain bikers from a few days ago, these kids look SO YOUNG to me, but there’s doubting how incredible they are at what they do! Hope you guys have a great day!
The Pursuit of Paleo: What not to eat!

I created this blog to help people change their lives for the better! I want to help you guys get stronger, faster, and most importantly…. healthier!
That means I support the Paleolithic-style diet that consists of primarily lean meats, vegetables, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.  It’s important to me keep a fair and balanced perspective on nutrition, though, so you guys should see the dietary plans that some people follow, regardless of whether or not your belief systems are in line with theirs. Am-I-right?
Before we move on, read this next part and read it again, please:
I am not telling anyone to do what is displayed in this video. I do not “support” people feeding their bodies this type of meal. It’s not healthy and it’s not safe. Many of you have heard of that show “What Not to Wear.” Consider this my Pursuit of Paleo post “What Not to Eat.”
HOWEVER, speaking only for myself, and being willing to endure any consequences (which would certainly exist) from my own actions…..
I have found what just might be MY.FAVORITE.MEAL.EVER.
Epic Meal Time guys …. thank you for making my eyes water from the sight of such an amazing creation.

Yesterday I said that the next three days of the Moment of Awesomeness posts would go from the dirt, to the snow, to the city streets. I can’t let you down now, can I?
After yesterday’s awesome mountain biking videos, we’re taking it to the slopes today with the trailer for the Legs of Steel Crew’s movie entitled Nothing Else Matters. There are some gnarly airs in this 3 minute clip, and the final scene with what looks like a dozen skiers is probably my favorite of the whole video.
Those of you (like me), who may want at least a few snowboarders in your trailers, check out this one from Toy Soldier Productions called “Set Your Sights.” Some epic hits in this one, too!

Today was a pretty standard day at CrossFit Lakewood.
Get here. Warm up. Lift heavy things. Work out. Recover. Leave.
If in the process you happen to PR and pull more weight off of the ground than you ever have before, welllllllllll, that’s just icing on the cake!
Oh that? It's just Alon pulling 365lbs!!
For the workout, you had a basic pull/push couplet. That means for 5 rounds you would do 15 reps of a pull movement (deadlifts, in this case), immediately followed by 15 reps of a push movement (wall balls). I liked this workout, and from the looks of it, a lot of you did, too!
Great job today, team.
Workout of the Day
Strength:
Dead Lift 3×3, 8×1 establish a max
WOD:
5 Rounds for Time
15 Deadlifts (135#/95#) / 15 Wall Balls (20#/14#)
