There are so many strong ladies at XCF it almost makes me emotional at times. Listening to women cue each other on power cleans is right up there with puppies, the chocolate lava cake at The Met and double rainbows. Today as I was watching Hoit, Lerner, Dagger, and Vaughn work on their hang [...]
I dig the summer at the gym because we get a lot of visitors. I love this place and the people who train here and quite frankly if I only got to train with the people that are here now that wouldn’t be a bad deal. It wouldn’t be perfect though because we would miss [...]
Had a fun interchange with one of my favorite nutrition nut the other day about fish oil. Supplements in general can be a murky area for folks such that many don’t venture in for fear they will choose the wrong thing. Mike Kesthely from Dynamic Nutrition is one of the best in the business for [...]
“You know how when you are doing overhead walking lunges with kettlebells…” It makes me happy to think about you guys starting conversations at work and at home this way. I don’t know if it is true but it is how it happens in my head. Nathan was at a budget meeting the other day [...]
“Pessimists are usually right and optimists are usually wrong but all the great changes have been accomplished by optimists.” Thomas Friedman I don’t know how true that statement actually is but I like it. I would wager that if the notion were truly measurable world changes by optimists would outweigh world changes by pessimists. I [...]
I was in an elevator the other day and a couple gets on the elevator and they are clearly having way more fun than me. I am going to conservatively say these folks were 80 years old. They were laughing and affectionate and I rightly assumed that they were married. I have found marriage to [...]
S So we are currently experiencing a rash of people coming to XCF. Getting buff, and then taking their new found awesomeness and applying for epic jobs out of state and of course they are getting them because they are not only talented but now, thanks to XCF, also jacked. Dan is the 2nd one [...]
Have you ever been hit with a tidal wave of gratitude? This evening I was washing dishes when it happened to me. I had to sit down. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. I wanted to talk to friends I haven’t spoken to in weeks, months or even years. I wanted [...]
If you are like me then you things that are awesome. You like the burger at Ma’ono chicken and whiskey, deadlifts, and Jack Reacher. I am big fan of Lee Child’s bad ass character but I am partial to Tom Cruise’s rendition as well. That’s right, I said it. Tom Cruise can be my vigilante [...]
Continual learning is one of the core values at XCF. I want to keep learning as a trainer. I want you to keep learning as an athlete. I want to learn from you as well as facilitate your learning. This comes with a lot of questions. Mine and yours. I know why I am asking [...]
You probably aren’t going to work on Monday. I am not going to work either. It is a big day for America. The gym will certainly be closed and I am going to sit at home at watch season 4 of Arrested development in its entirety. If you aren’t a fan already you have the [...]
The bar has been raised. It hasn’t just been raised. It has been raised, gilded, and bedazzled. We invited some folks over for dinner last night and we got the usual “what should we bring?” Erin is black belt in the kitchen so there isn’t really anything to bring. Did you say bacon wrapped dates [...]
Testing week is a lot like Hanukkah in a way because there are just so many days of awesomeness back to back. We are seeing lots of PRs this week and it is only Tuesday. AC, bench press, snatching, deadlifting, it is hard to decide which part has been my favorite. But it’s not. 10 [...]
Our team training team is about to go to a whole new level. Maybe. Think positive thoughts all day, maybe light a candle, and help out a homeless person to bump your karmic influence.
