I wanted to put up a post specifically on CrossFit for fat loss. In this post, I found an innovative CrossFit gym that has developed a fat loss program called SpeedX. The gym is called BRICK Sport Performance, it is located in sunny West Hollywood not too far from Venice Beach.

Liver confuses and confounds many of us. It looks weird, gives off an odd mineral smell, and has a unique texture. We try to reconcile our horrible memories of Mom’s bone-dry renditions of the stuff with all the ethnographic literature describing how hunter-gatherers share precious slivers of the raw trembling organ immediately after a kill. We appreciate and acknowledge the superior nutrient profile of four ounces of beef liver compared to five pounds of colorful fruit even as the shrink-wrapped grass-fed lamb liver direct from the organic farm sits in the freezer untouched. And then we wonder whether it’s even safe to eat, because, you know, it’s the “filter” – the only thing standing between an onslaught of environmental toxins and our vulnerable bodies – and filters accumulate the stuff they’re meant to keep out. See colanders, coffee filters, water purifiers. Liver, then, is many a Primal eater’s Everest. Tantalizing […]

Complete:
Max Pullups, 5 minutes
Max Pushups, 5 minutes
Max Squats, 5 minutes
How-to:
Warmup: 60 second Grok Squat, 60 second Grok Hang.
This is a real simple workout, folks. Simple, to the point, basic, but incredibly tough just the same. I find the simple workouts usually work out to be the toughest. Funny how that happens. As such, I don’t need to expound on this workout beyond just a few words.
Pace yourself. You could go all out and just bang out as many reps right off the bat as you can, or you could plan your attack. If you know you can do 20 consecutive pullups, try doing your pullups in sets of eight.
I’m not sure I need to say much more. Get out there, time yourself, and give it your all. And post your times in the comment board.
A few things to remember:
Each rep should be completed with excellent form. If you find your […]

No Excuses (Tabata) Workout #15Share!Facebook0Google+0LinkedIn0Pinterest0A Tabata workout is a set of eight high intensity intervals performed for a total of four minutes. The intervals consist of 20 seconds of high intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of recovery. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, they’re not.

Can omega-3 fatty acids boost muscle growth? Well, let’s just say that I’m very excited to report about the results from two new studies that sought to answer that question. The results? I will tell you all about in this article.
I don’t have time to keep up with the going-on’s in the forums, and I don’t know if the weight training community has taken note of these studies yet. I hope they will, because these findings are – by far – the most interesting thing I have come across in a long time.
First, I’d like to do a brief review on omega-3 (n-3) fats and how they work. And since we’re on the topic, let’s also do a quick no-BS review on what they are actually good for.
(This article is somewhat long and I wrote the n-3 health and fat loss review since I thought I’d give myself a refresher […]

Chicken nutrition.
Chicken is an excellent source of nutrition. In general, it’s relatively low-calorie, has a lot of protein, and isn’t the “dark meat” variety. It also tastes great!
Here are some of the nutrient facts for 100 grams, in this case for a chicken patty, according to the USDA:

Just as having a pantry full of preserved fruits or vegetables brings a feeling of comfort and a cheerful burst of color to your kitchen, so does having a jar of lemons preserving on your counter. Preserving lemons involves little more than cramming a bunch of lemons and salt in jar and letting it sit for a month. The end result is like a food version of lemonade: a little tart, a little sweet and pleasantly bitter.
Rather than eaten alone, preserved lemons are used as an ingredient, most often in Moroccan-inspired cooking. The intensely lemony flavor has a bit of a bite to it and is too strong to be a main ingredient; rather, preserved lemons should be thought of as an exclamation point, adding a burst of citrus flavor to finish a dish. Thin strips of preserved lemon can be added to braised meat, such as lamb, near the […]

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story. Today, Mark’s Daily Apple reader J.P. shares an all too familiar tale: Boy is young, fit and active. Boy goes to college and parties hard. Boy gets a desk job and becomes sedentary. This is usually where the story takes a turn for the worst. But J.P., as he approached 30, took a look at himself in the mirror and realized something had to change. See how J.P. rejected becoming your typical out of shape 30 year old and grabbed control of his health in the process.
If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as you send them in. Thanks for reading!

Hey guys, this is Rafi Bar-Lev. With all the site changes lately, I was a little busy to write a new article. So luckily, my colleague Greg Hayes from Life Fit Blog offered to guest post for me.
Also, the RSS feed had to be changed because of the site change – so please resubscribe to my RSS so you can keep getting new posts. (Sorry about that guys!) Without further ado, here’s Greg’s guest post:
[“Lose weight? Does that like…require getting off the couch? Because I don’t see that happening.”]
As a kid, and young adult, I never spent much time thinking about fitness or weight management. In fact, although I was physically active, I never “worked” at fitness. It was a simple by-product of my lifestyle. I was active, and fitness followed.
Graduate school, parenthood, and a career fixed that little oversight. From the time I graduated college, until I decided to […]
