Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

I was waiting in line to order some food.
I was planning on ordering a walnut and avocado salad, when the 9″ pizza menu caught my eye.
The ‘Rustic Veggie Pizza’ sounded really, really good.
So when it was my turn to order I asked the young girl behind the counter:
“How filling is the Pizza”
her response was that she could easily finish one.
I looked over at the guy standing beside her, and he said “Yeah, it’s small, it’s a lunch portion”
So I ordered it.
I wish I took pictures!
I could have easily split this pizza with another person.
Think about that for a second.
It was more than DOUBLE the amount of food I needed.
Easily.
Here’s the plate beside my laptop as a comparison.

Now, sure it was ‘good for me’…
Loaded with veggies, whole wheat crust, no cheese, a great tomato/pesto type sauce….
But overall…it was too much..way too much.
So here’s the point of this post.
Keep your calories low.
That’s […]

Our concept of health only exists in opposition to its absence. Healthy is the default position. We’re not “supposed” to get strokes, coronary heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Sure, a few people, here and there, are far more likely to suffer the ravages of the degenerative diseases of civilization, but the real numbers are inflated. For most of the population, we can avoid the worst of it, and if you spend a bit of time on MDA or any other ancestral online communities, you’ll see example after example of people taking charge of their health and experiencing newfound vibrancy. We’ve all gotta die someday, but we most assuredly do not have to die at 56 from a clogged artery.
But I cover longevity plenty. As you know, I’m also interested in increasing one’s enjoyment of life; I’m a big quality over quantity guy (both are good as long as the former […]

Boy, oh, boy am I excited about what this next month holds for MDA readers. This year’s 30-Day Challenge (September 7 – October 6) will be all about aligning your lifestyle behaviors with each of the 10 Primal Blueprint Laws. There will be contests and giveaways each day. I’ve lined up some great sponsors this year. I’ll save most of the details for next Tuesday (come back from Labor Day weekend ready to get Primal!) but I will say this: I’ll be giving away an entire cow courtesy of U.S. Wellness, an assortment of unwieldy (and wieldy) Primal fitness gear, Primal foods, Primal toys, and maybe even a Grok spear, totaling over $10,000 in value. And see below for today’s pre-challenge contest.
You don’t have to sign-up to take part in the challenge. Everyone is welcome. But there are a few things you can do to prepare…

Yesterday I received an email about this workout program ==>   http://bhlikes.it/mymb
Now, normally I don’t ‘report’ on this kind of thing, but I really, really liked this email.
Why?
Because it made me realize that I’m NOT taking crazy pills!
See when I wrote Anabolic Again and was doing my research behind Anabolic Slow Down I felt like I was the only one who cared about this phenomena…but now seeing that big time fitness people like Vince Delmonte are also recognizing that their is something putting the breaks on muscle growth in experienced lifters…well it makes me happy in a weird sorta way.
Now, Vince’s theories and solutions are muc different then mine, but at least it proves a point.
If you take a look at this page http://bhlikes.it/mymb the message is obvious: Muscle growth eventually slows down.

But it’s not just the slow down I’m intrigued with.
It’s the different RATES (or speeds) that people seem […]

There are many within the Primal community, I know, who also like to eat local. Some months, of course, allow for the confluence of these priorities more than others. Right now, we’re at the height of harvest season. Farmers’ markets are overflowing, CSA boxes are brimming, and backyard gardens are gratifyingly bountiful. Nonetheless, all good things must come to an end. In a few short months, farms and gardens will be snow-covered in many parts of the country. If you live in balmy Southern California like I do, that’s not much of an issue. If you live in Minnesota or Maine, it is. We Primal types love our produce, and winter complicates that relationship for some of us. Must locavore-minded Northerners relegate themselves to frozen and canned vegetables for several months of the year? Are root vegetable remnants really the only acceptable fresh produce before the spring thaw? Last week […]

There is something to be said for brief workouts. Back in the 80's, when I joined my first gym, it was common for workouts to last over 90 minutes. In college I would train up to 2 hours per day with a group of friends. We would spend 90 minutes lifting and 30 minutes on cardio. The routine was "3 days on and 1 day off". Although that was WAY too much time in the gym, each of us was in great condition. With that much time sweating and burning calories, it was bound to work. The problem was that our workouts weren't time efficient. With a few less beers per week and less calories, we could have got the same results with about 1/2 the amount of time spent in the gym. In fact, with enough intensity and with a proper diet I believe I could have maintained […]

Max cycles in 20 minutes of:
1 Pullup/Chinup
2 Pushups
3 Full Squats

Warmup: A couple rotations of the Grok Squat and Grok Hang.
How-to: Execute 1 pullup. Drop down and perfom 2 pushups. Get up and do 3 full squats (bringing your hips to below your knees). That’s one cycle. Repeat, but this time do a chinup instead of a pullup.
Variations: If you can’t do a proper pullup/chinup, pushup or full squat subsitute movements from Levels 1-3 of Primal Blueprint Fitness Lift Heavy Things (chapter 3).
Hat Tip: This workout is a favorite of mine. It’s a minor variation on a workout that is part of the SimpleFit protocol.
Reminder: Workouts of the Week are an optional component of Primal Blueprint Fitness and should only be completed by those that have mastered Level 4 of each Lift Heavy Things Essential Movement. Also, it’s recommended that the WOWs replace one […]
