You Are What You Wanna Be Think back to when you made the initial plunge.  It might have been two weeks ago or two years ago, but I know you recall every aspect of that fateful night you sacked up and stepped into a WOD.   You might have had expectations of how hard it might be.  You might...

Heres a tip… (just the tip) If you see a coach, particularly Arbel or Mark practice one particular movement excessively you can probably bet your 1st born daughter on it that that movement will not so surprisingly come up in a WOD pretty soon. Pay Attention Kids If  you haven’t...

Normally I don’t like to beat dead horses.  The good news in that is this horse I’m about to open some whoop-ass on is FAR from dead.  It’s alive and kicking, and I cannot put this thing out of its misery for good.  Here’s to another attempt. Stop Looking At Your...

Pwning Fools Yo! Listen up!  We got a three day weekend coming up in a hot minute, and we need to have a serious talk about how that affects our relationship.  So when you’re done thinking this is a joke and you’re ready to stop playing Call of Duty and have a serious...

I have an admission to make.  Tonight, I went to a WNBA game.  Technically, I went because I wanted my daughter to attend an on-the-court clinic hosted by a U$C phenom – Jamie Hagiya, but the point is I was there.  And being there made me realize why CrossFit is the training tool of...

Ain’t Nothing, but a Paleo Party We had our first end of the month Paleo Pot Luck last Friday.  To put it mildly, it was a big hit.  I mean, who doesn’t like a good time with good people and good food?  And damn, was there all kinds of good food – Paleo chili, pulled beef...

Here’s a simple question that I bet almost no one can answer, or will answer correctly: When it comes to whatever you are doing today at the box – what’s the goal? I think in the sake of “intensity” we all default to “faster” in a met-con and...

The following post is via Remy Olson, who runs a blog at http://huntgathersaute.com.  Remy coached me thru my very first OnRamp (Fundies) and to this day remains my personal go-to source for nutritional information.  Read this, please.  If you have any questions about anything nutritional,...

How about some FUN?  Here’s some photos that need some serious captioning.  Post captions to comments, and refer to the Image Number! Workout of the Day 8/25/2011 Met-Con. AMRAP 20: 5 Thruster (95#/65#) 5 Hang Power Clean 10 1-Legged...

Let’s Get Social! This Friday we’re kicking off a new installment to the LAX CrossFit brand of FUNctional Fitness.  Thanks to the brilliants minds of some of our Events Crew members, we’re going to begin hosting a Paleo Potluck every last Friday of the month! If you...

Putting In Some Overtime This Sunday Laura’s dad, Uncle Santiago, and Cousin Benji came to LAX CF to put in work.  And by work, I don’t mean power cleans and kipping pull ups.  That’s whimpy stuff us CrossFitters do. No, I am talking real work – welding, grinding,...

Speed. I am Speed. Regular old kipping pullups are just not fast enough to beat Mark in a WOD anymore. To half your time on the pullupbar you need to step up your game to butterfly pullups. Well actually, that still wont help you beat Mark since he has them down pretty good, but at least you...

Here we are at about the three month point since I last hollered at y’all for this.  None of my reasons have changed, but some of you have, so I want to talk to you all about taking periodic photos of yourself in something sexy.  Ok maybe not sexy, but at least in board shorts (men) or...

You all did it now.  For months we’ve aided and abedded in your disgusting habits.  We would turn the other cheek as we’d watch you layer more and more tape onto those precious paws of yours.  We’ve upped our orders of gym tape from several rolls to A CASE every month due...

Today’s post: Sponsored by the number 30. 30 is such a magnificent number, that is often overlooked.  Today we’re going to discuss the number 30 and why it can be emailed at thirty@bomb.com 30 Rocks is the best drama ever. For children. 30 Days Later was 2 days too intense for...
