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 [...]
A big part of my personal journey recently has been about improving my training. I’ve come at this goal from a bunch of different directions and used many different tools and ideas from a wide range of disciplines and areas to make it happen. Not everything I’ll suggest is typical, but it IS something that’s [...]
I’m on another emotional and spiritual growth spurt. I HATE these! I mean, I love them, but I hate them too. It’s great to grow and evolve – constant growth and evolution is really a foundational principle of my life. But, sometimes it would just be nice to coast for a while and enjoy the [...]
I finally realized today that it DOES get better. If you put in the time and you put in the work it really does. I’ve always had FAITH that it got better, but today I could actually SEE that it DOES. Every so often, my mom and I end up near this donut place in [...]
Today’s question is a great one from Jennifer! Here it is: “Adam, I have a question for you. I have been following Paleo for about a year pretty closely.

This question came from Donald by email and is about the results one could expect from 12 weeks on a Paleo Diet and CrossFit program. Here’s Donald’s question: “Hi Adam, Thank you for the free downloads I got from you. I have been doing Body for life recently, well I did it a [...]
This answer is in response to Cara’s question below: “Hi Adam, enjoyed the videos this morning! I’ve been following a Louie Simmons strict shoulder strength program that I have been doing in the a.m. It is so hard to listen to your body and not overtrain…. Do you think it is possible to come [...]
It’s funny how you can use a principle in other parts of your life and then COMPLETELY ignore it in an area where it can make a BIG difference. I guess that’s the folly of being human at times – a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. A lot of you know [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about my body and health goals lately. I’ve also been reading Dan John’s excellent book, “Don’t Let Go.” I’m not sure how it all came together for me, but I started thinking about smaller goals. If you’ve read any kind of self-help/goal setting stuff – like the Anthony Robbins program [...]
I’ve realized this morning that I’m never going to be good enough. At least, not as long as I’m playing by the rules of society and our fucked up culture. I really shouldn’t care. But I do. It’s not even that I play by the rules anymore, but a lot of people I know still [...]
