I was just a few hundred feet away from the bomb blasts on Marathon Monday.
It was shocking, frightening, harrowing and surreal.
Yet the experience was made all the more surreal because of the...

We all do not need to love heavy dumbells to understand that their function in a gym is not merely for exercise. 130 lb., 150 lb., even 200 lb. dumbells become quiet symbols in a gym landscape; a...

Apparently, when it comes to drug testing intelligence and necessity, CrossFit is EXACTLY like bodybuilding . . .

Major CrossFit leadership fail in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ....

So . . . curious what the CrossFit lovers think of this rather blundering public commentary made by the "official" CrossFit Games Twitter.

Is this SERIOUS??? ...

Or perhaps on intelligent ears . . .

Saying that powerlifters can gain nothing towards their goals from pursuing bodybuilding is like saying a football player can gain nothing towards winning...

Well put. I like this response.

By the way, the dudes I coach use and compete in both strength AND bodybuilding IN THE SME SEASON and advance faster in both than if they just stuck to one. These guys:...

They posted it to their own Facebook page on February 28. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/CrossFit-Football/131891959611)
Which is how I saw...

This may help, or may not help, but on the March 4 episode of The Big Inside show (which airs live if you happen see this post before they air) they are discussing tattooing with strength and...
