It currently seems like there is an all-or-nothing view on how to get stronger. Folks who prefer bodyweight or gymnastics movements shun the barbell or anything that isn’t street workout style. Traditional lifters consider anything involving less than 200lbs to be some form of Pilates or yoga.

 

It’s a shame, because you actually gain maximum benefit from utilizing both of these different styles of progression. The name of this game is motor learning.

These are the most common mistakes I see in fighters’ strength training plans, and my suggestions for fixing them.

The role of strength training in sport, and in particular combat sports, is one of the more hotly contested discussions in the fitness world. One side rightly argues that in most cases skill triumphs and therefore it is of the utmost importance. The other side believes a bigger deadlift will solve all the world’s problems, from poverty to winning gold medals and championships.

Why do so many of us have an unabashed crush on Paris, and French culture in general? I know it’s all very romanticized, and yet if a Paris apartment shows up on Apartment Therapy or there’s a peek into a French kitchen here on The Kitchn, there I am — drool on face, dreams in head. It doesn’t matter if the kitchen is the size of a shoebox; it’s the size of a shoebox … in Paris.

I thought I’d take a more practical approach today, however, and point out some of the recurring details and interesting features I’ve noticed in many Paris kitchens.

Q: Help! We got three pounds of purple potatoes in our CSA share and don’t know what to do with them! We’re not big fans of straight potato dishes (i.e., baked, roasted, mashed potatoes). Do you have suggestions for potato dishes or recipes where potatoes are not the main event?
