Preventing Overtraining – Paleo Diet and Training Q and A…

Posted by on April 27, 2011 at 10:38 am

  A BIG thanks to Sonya Conrad for this pic – Sporting a SINS shirt on Mt Kosciuszko, the highest point in Australia! Thanks Sonya! This answer is in response to Jennifer’s question below: “Hi Adam, I have been hearing a lot lately about over training, even my own trainer has insinuated that I am [...]

It’s Always Right There…

I laid out my goals for the SINS Challenge a week or so ago. I’m working hard on them – although I’m still on THE FIRST ONE! My book WILL be out in the next few weeks. In fact, I have the structure and organization finished – FINALLY. I’m really just in the final editing [...]

Simple Yoga for Hips and Back…

Posted by on February 13, 2011 at 10:01 am

This is a simple and short yoga/stretching sequence I use to open my hips and keep my back lose. I’m FAR from an expert on this stuff, but I’ve learned a few things and I think our training community could do with more restorative stuff and information on how to do it. I started doing [...]

Boobs, Rants, Douchebags and Other Highlights from 2010…

Posted by on January 1, 2011 at 4:50 pm

NONE of this would be here without YOU! Here are the TOP posts and pages of 2010 on Practical Paleolithic. It’s incredibly humbling for me to look at the stats for my pages and posts and realize that EACH “visit” to a page or post represents a living, breathing person who took time out of [...]

Creating a Fitness Vision and Training Goals for the New Year…

Posted by on December 31, 2010 at 9:19 pm

This is an advanced goal setting technique that’s been hugely useful to me. It evolved from an Anthony Robbins program I worked through about three years ago – and that program was nothing short of life altering for me. The basic process is to envision the life you WANT to live – as vividly and [...]

CrossFit Goes Globo-Gym?

Posted by on December 21, 2010 at 11:00 am

We Used to be Counterculture… I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a weird sense of foreboding since I heard about the CrossFit/Reebok partnership. I found this pic on crossfit.com and it didn’t make me feel any better. This pic SCREAMS globo-gym to me. Especially the “10 General Physical Skills” mural on the wall. [...]

An Open Letter on Community…

Posted by on December 20, 2010 at 10:51 am

Some of you know I’ve been working furiously on my Paleo Diet eBook these last few weeks. It’s been great to get back to “real” writing in a word processor and take a more serious tone in my work. It reminds me of college and that’s kinda cool. The other thing this project has done [...]

Body Image, Food Addiction and “I’m not good enough…”

Posted by on November 14, 2010 at 12:42 pm

A wise ape once told me that if I wasn’t getting hate mail no one was reading my stuff. Well, people are reading my stuff! Actually, it really isn’t all that bad. I get about 20 positive responses to what I write for each negative one. It’s funny that we always focus on the negative [...]

MY Perspective on What “Strong is the New Skinny” Means

Posted by on October 17, 2010 at 4:02 pm

Needless to say, Marsha Tieken Christensen and I are overwhelmed and thrilled at the success of “Strong is the New Skinny.” SO many people have gotten behind the movement and support it. The Facebook group has over 5,600 members at the time of this writing and the original “Strong is the New Skinny” blog post [...]

Marsha Tieken-Christensen Interview

Posted by on September 12, 2010 at 1:37 pm

Marsha and I met on Facebook. I live in Connecticut and she lives in Texas. Not much in common really. At least not on the surface. She’s a wife and mother of 3 and I’m a single guy with a dog and a bunch of cats. What we had in common initially is that we [...]
