Today is a big day for the SINS Angels Series. This is the VERY FIRST ONE! The plan is to feature a female blogger who is living the SINS ideal, blogging regularly and helping to spread the word that Strong is the New Skinny (SINS). It’s all about leading by example! So, the first SINS [...]

Once every week or so, Practical Paleolithic is going to feature ONE OF YOU! I’m calling the new series “SINS Angels” and the goal is to feature a female blogger who embodies the SINS ideal. This isn’t CrossFit specific or Paleo specific or anything-else-specific. It’s open to ALL women who can inspire others, have a [...]

It’s kind of a cliche to get all into “goals” around January 1. Personally, I look at the beginning of a new year as the time to review what I’ve done over the past year, evaluate my current goals, set new ones and redirect or alter my life course as necessary. I work with my [...]

This is just a quick blog post to let everyone know that I still have a few hard copies of “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link” left from The 2011 Beast of the East Fitness Festival. They’re really nice books with a new cover that incorporates my new logo for Practical Paleolithic. They have a clear [...]

Fitness Culture is Alive and Well in Connecticut… Wow! What a weekend! Honestly, I’m still recovering from The Beast of the East Fitness Festival that happened October 8 and 9th, 2011 on the Durham Fair Grounds in Durham, CT! It was a GREAT time!

Here’s a question from Raphael in Australia: “Hey Adam, Just came across your website (saw a link on the IKFF Facebook page). Some great articles to read – and just finished going through your ebook! Paul Chek’s book got me quite interested in general health. Then onto Mark’s Daily Apple, and other paleo resources. [...]

At the urging of a new friend who started reading my book “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link” a few days ago, I’ve decided to post the preface of the book here on my blog. My journey from where I was to where I am was long and difficult and full of setback, disappointments, shady characters [...]

Sigh… What a week… A Wise Ape once told me if I wasn’t getting hate mail, no one was reading my stuff. Well, people are definitely reading my stuff… This past week, I leaned heavily on my faith and asked myself many times WWTGD? (What Would The Gorilla Do?). I think I’ve turned a corner [...]

Since I announced that I’d be putting on an IKFF Sanctioned Kettlebell Competition at The Beast of the East Fitness Expo here in Connecticut in October 2011, I’ve had a lot of questions about just what exactly a “Kettlebell Competition” is. So, I put this little primer together just to give my friends who have [...]
