BT Toxin. Sounds like a dope rapper/DJ name or some thrash metal band – but sadly it’s not. So I’m doing my normal thing today, bumpin around the Facebook, and one of those images popped across my activity stream.  You know – one of them images that make a bold and...

Spot the Difference in the Schedule below Well done if you noticed that we are adding a brand new 9am class Monday  - Friday to our schedule starting next Monday May 21st! If you are wondering how we decided on adding a 9am, well, its because you asked for it. The louder you are the more we...

Every damn night, you stay up late waiting for this blog to post so you can see what work you will put in tomorrow.  Sometimes it keeps you from sleeping.  You rise in the morning, knowing that somewhere in your day, there is a WOD lying in wait.  It ain’t gonna be easy –...

Whenever I’m sitting at home trying to write a blog post at 1:32AM I always want to lean towards a post on the awesome benefits of proper amounts of sleep.  I was actually reading up on this very topic the other day – and found a single blog post out there with some pretty crucial...

Since much of my last week was consumed with Regionals and I took away quite a bit of insight from the event as a whole, I’m going to continue in my series of Regionals based posts. I got the privilege over the Regionals weekend to talk to almost every elite athlete and team here in...

Whooooops. Here we are just a day (or so) out from the 2012 CrossFit Games SoCal Regional Event!  Regardless if you happen to be named Shira or Jamie or you just stumble into the box when you’re looking to avoid the 405 gridlock, this excellant post by Josh Bridges of Invictus is...

When I coached Fundies, I told them “Practice correct movement with everything you do! Don’t get lazy cause it’s light!” Then I’d proceed to give them the always funny antedoctal story about how I’d deadlift paperclips and pencils when I dropped them at...

Last Friday we did a WOD at Lucky Strike bowling lanes in Torrance. Below is a summary of the work and some photos from the event. Needless to say the LAX CF gang killed it! PRs for everyone. Maybe not the bowling part, but the drinking and good times part for sure. Thanks to Kzoo for...

We’re officially closing for the 2012 So Cal Regionals. That’s this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 11-13. Besides that this Regional is to the CrossFit Games as the NBA Western Conference Finals is to the NBA Finals (at least in the women’s division, with last year’s...
