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.

In my last video blog on Westside and CrossFit, I mentioned the 300/400/500 Bench Press/Squat/Deadlift numbers Stuart McRobert advocates as a guideline for male athletes. At the time, I wasn’t sure what the numbers were for WOMEN. So, I did a little digging and came up with some answers. (Oh, BTW, by “Squat” I mean [...]

Kristi King – Proving Strong is the New Skinny…

When I wrote the original “Strong is the New Skinny” post this past summer, I was talking about challenging womens’ stereotypes.
