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 [...]
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 [...]
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fascinating art. The picture above is me getting triangle choked by UFC fighter Jason Lambert at a seminar this past Memorial Day Weekend. There’s a lot of strategy involved in the higher levels of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and the really good guys – like Jason or my teacher Chris [...]

If you’ve read any kind of self-help/goal setting stuff – like the Anthony Robbins program [...]
I guess this is the blog equivalent of those sitcoms where the writers run out of ideas and have someone get hit on the head or whatever so they can do a “flashbacks” episode. It’s not so much that I “ran out” of ideas, it’s more that I’m a little fried from all the writing [...]
This is actually my FIRST update for the SINS challenge. Where have I been? I’ve been hard at work on goal number one from my original post – Finishing my Paleo Diet book. My original goal was to finish the book and launch it on the second Sunday of March 2011. I missed that deadline, [...]
It’s funny that we somehow miss the forest for the trees. It’s also funny how we’ve managed to split true HEALTH off from our pursuits be they CrossFit, Bodybuilding, Paleo dieting, Powerlifting or whatever. When I sat down to really nail down some goals for myself I kept coming back to performance numbers or appearance [...]
