Labor Day WOD, Anyone?
Sometimes you see stuff that is just too cool and inspiring to keep to yourself. I just “overheard” something between my friend Merle Mckenzie and one of his athletes from CrossFit Relentless, Brenda. Merle posted two pics on Facebook with this message: “Brenda I love you for what you have done to inspire women and [...]
Congratulations, Jen!
I wanted to congratulate my friend Jen Bolduc from from CrossFit Relentless again for the AWESOME job she did at the Massachusetts State Strongman/Strongwoman Championship in the Lightweight Division.

Don’t Train Like a Guy
I’ll never forget it. Back before I’d heard of CrossFit or Kettlebells – before MOST ANYONE had heard of them – I worked out in a “Globo Gym.” I know, we all did. Some of us even liked it at one time or another. This gym was special though – because the girl I was [...]

Kettlebell Push Press – Refining the Details…
I want to give a HUGE thank you to Valery Fedorenko for the videos he’s been posting on YouTube. There is so much to learn in each of them. For me, this what really makes Kettlebell lifting so interesting – the constant refinement and nuances you can find when someone like Fedorenko shows you where [...]
How much is HEALTH and PASSION really worth to you?
WARNING – This will probably be a weird and rambling post. In some wacky way, though, it’s probably the most important training related post I’ve ever written… IMPORTANT – WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST AND THEN READ THE POST!!!!! Just what exactly is your health worth to you? It’s worth a whole lot to me. At [...]
Is Bodybuilding Relevant Anymore?
What’s this dude’s Fran time? I’m not sure what got me thinking about this topic. It might have been seeing old Bill “feels like Deca” Phillips on an early morning infomercial promoting his new book. Or, it might just be that I think too much… This was originally going to be a somewhat humorous post. [...]
