Story at-a-glance

  • A record 4.02 billion prescriptions were written in the United States in 2011, showing Americans are taking more drugs than ever before and putting their health in the hands of some of the top corporate criminals in the world
  • Drug company settlements continue to be commonplace and are now escalating into the realm of billions of dollars
  • Most of these settlements amount to a mere slap on the wrist for the drug company, which typically will continue right along with their deceitful behaviors
  • The most-used drugs in America are, primarily, used to treat conditions that can be better treated without drugs, using natural lifestyle changes and other holistic strategies

"Do I have to squat?"
No..You also don't have to not be a pussy
"I know we power clean with a med ball but why don't we power snatch hang snatch with a med ball?"
We do not do none of those things and a second mention of them will get you escorted out the front door!
"Does weightlifting make girls look manly?"
There are two kinds of men in the world: Those who find women weight lifters attractive, and those who don't find women attractive.
"Do weightlifting competitions play better music than crossfit competitions? "
I don't know, I'm busy lifting weights, not dancing.

Aspartame Damages the Brain At Any Dose


 
Did you know that Aspartame has been proven to cause brain damage by leaving traces of Methanol in the blood? It makes you wonder why Aspartame has been approved as “safe” and is found in thousands of food products. Currently more than 90 countries have given the artificial sweetener the “OK” to be used in foods.

"The controversy surrounding this substance is widespread. It is one of the most body toxic substances we can consume. The political corruption and money trail behind this agent of disease is a mile long. Aspartame has been linked to all of the major brain diseases including Alzheimer’s and ALS. It is also considered a prime contributor to many other diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, asthma, obesity, and many others. It is in many diet products on the market today, but in the long run actually contributes to obesity due to his extreme acidity. Aspartame is an excitotoxin, which over excites neurons in the brain until they burn out and die. "

Grab your partner...

row for calories 21-15-9
wallballs

While your partner rows 21 calories you will do wallballs . How many wallballs you do depends on how fast your partner can row. Then  switch. Continue until both have rowed 21-15-9 calories

Do as I say... not as I do ;)




The following tips on hand care is courtesy of Crossfit Verve.

Ripping your hands is not cool, and doesn’t need to happen. Hand rips can take a while to heel, are painful, annoying and may prevent you from training to you full capacity for a while. Here are a few tips to help you keep from tearing:

When in the shower, first shave the callouses on your hands gently. No need to do this for time folks, be careful not to over do it.
Use soap and a pumice to smooth them out.

Have nice and smooth hands that rip less and interrupt training less

A good read:


"It’s not always easy to remember that progress is progress. Ninety-five percent of the time I know that every bit forward counts and is not insignificant. But this doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes compare myself to the best in my gym, the best online, and sometimes the best in the world."
