http://againfaster.blogspot.com/2007/04/thirty-days-to-freedom-when-im-in-front.html

Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Thirty Days to Freedom. When I’m in front of a group of athletes, teaching basic barbell movements, the nuances of the sprint, or proper kipping technique, I’m an expert. I tell them what I know, and I hold it out there as gospel. They usually become better athletes for it, and it makes me very happy. These men made a commitment to strength training that I cannot match while working a nine to five. So be it. In the name of progress, I’ve handed in my resignation. I’m tr...With ...

Thursday, July 19, 2007. A Hierarchy of Functional Movement. One of the basic tenets of the CrossFit method is a reliance on functional movement. Simply, this means that movements with limited real-world application have no place in our programming. Power output is equal to force multiplied by distance divided by time. For the sake of a good visual, it looks like this:. Power = (Force x Distance)/Time. The snatch is very similar to the squat clean, but the barbell does not stop at the shoulders. Inst...

Again Faster: January 2007

http://againfaster.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 29, 2007. Interview with an Operator. The fitness needs of Special Operations personnel are extensive. For these folks, optimum physical fitness can mean the difference between life and death. Many have latched onto Crossfit as a means of attaining and maintaining this level of fitness. AF: You serve in the U.S. Navy as a Corpsman, and you’re also a Crossfitter. What kind of job do you do? AF: How long have you been doing that? Op: About the last year or so. AF: So you’ve got this spread ...

Again Faster: August 2006

http://againfaster.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 30, 2006. The human body is capable of amazing things. In the past few years, we’ve seen spectacular demonstrations of will Lance Armstrong winning seven consecutive Tours after a crippling battle with cancer, Curt Shilling blowing out the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS with a bloody sock and a stapled tendon, Kerri Strug landing a gold-medal winning vault in the 1996 Summer Games with a sprained ankle. They didn’t, and we idolize them for it. And the Switch is flipped. He kept going. Fin...

Again Faster: September 2006

http://againfaster.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 29, 2006. Fight Gone Bad. Sounds gnarly, huh? It is, but it’s not that horrible. Sure, you’ll be a panting puddle of useless bile when it’s over, but three or four minutes later you’ll be your normal self again. The steamroller of Crossfit. Love that ran you over will be history, and you’ll look back fondly on the choice moments:. Yo dude. Remember in Round Two, when you told me to ‘SUCK IT UP! In front of my grandparents, and I totally knocked out three more box jumps? Photo of Chuck L...

Tuesday, May 15, 2007. Successful barbell training has several components. In addition to intelligent program design and raw strength, it requires mastery of technique. Without proper technique, force is not used optimally, and an artificial performance ceiling is imposed on the trainee. Teaching athletes to create tension is relatively simple. We focus on five areas the lungs, the abdomen, the butt, the hands, and the feet. The final piece of the puzzle is the limbs. They represent the last opportun...

Friday, July 13, 2007. How to Use Chalk. Chalk is a very valuable thing in the gym. It allows us to grip the ungrippable. Despite management’s unmitigated understanding of this fact, CrossFit Boston. Has been without chalk for two weeks. Imagine cleaning that mess with a half-destroyed sponge mop, and you’ll understand my motives for non-replacement. We now have chalk. Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to save you from yourselves. A little bit of chalk goes a long way, and there is a proper way to use ...

Monday, June 11, 2007. Welcome to the OTC. I recently spent four days and three nights at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where I was fortunate enough to observe the Resident Weightlifters in action. They are awesome. Their overwhelming athleticism is irrefutable evidence of the value of Olympic weightlifting, and provides instant incentive for any coach to include it in his or her programming. Natalie Woolfork, a 63-kilo lifter with more than a few American Records under her belt, gave ...
