WOD
Skill – introduce Wall Climbs, try and accumulate 10 wall climbs
Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:
5 hang clean and jerks
6 overhead lunge steps
We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

On January 21st, CrossFit West Houston turned ten years old. Ten years in business is a pretty big milestone. Big milestones offer a time to reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly. Certainly, there has been all those things in the last decade, but from all of that there were lessons. The last […]

An interesting point to discuss. What do you all think about the quote below?
“It’s [organic food] a bunch of bull,” he said. “How do you know what’s really organic? Today, there’s all these impurities in the water and the air. The water for the fruits and vegetables has junk in it. If you get enough vitamins and minerals out of normal food and whole grains, and you get enough proteins and exercise (that’s the key), then nature builds up a tolerance to all of these things. It’s survival of the fittest. You can’t have everything perfect, that’s impossible, but the fit survive.” Jack LaLanne

Definately a Suck Factor involved with todays WOD. It was one of those that I did not feel like
finishing at all, but I made it through the whole WOD w/ 65#.

@Joel-
Nice quote… I agree with the last sentence whole-heartedly, and the rest I am a bit indifferent about. It’s true you never know who’s lying to you to get a label, how much they’re stretching the truth, or even good-intentioned marketers may just be using some contaminated sources… Regardless, I believe it’s still worth trying to go the extra mile to find organic for food when it matters (i.e. when you eat the peel of something, like an apple).

Did a CF endurance WOD-
:10 of sprinting, :10 of walling, :20 of sprinting, :20 of walking, etc…. All the way up to :70 of sprinting, :70 of walking and then back down the ladder. I covered about 2 miles or so.
Then tabata bottom to bottom squats, and then tabata push up holds. Good workout at Rice U. this afternoon :).

Great video Aja. Tell Aryan I want my shirt back.
@Joel & @Steph – I side with Jack a bit on this one. I don’t think going the extra mile for organic gets you a mile’s worth of reward in return. Cutting back/cutting out sugars has such a dramatic affect that it’s a no-brainer. Going organic has marginal returns where I think you have to ask yourself if it’s worth it.
75# on the WOD today. Then 4 sets of 5 reps of 135# push jerk. Definitely not my strong suit.
Great Job Luis!

@Joel
I would say that organics are definitely overated these days because the government has rolled over to big farm industry to allow feel good “organic” labelling. I am not on board with his whole grain statement and wish he had mentioned good fats as being important. I think meat quality these days is extremely poor, which is why I buy my red meat, pork and some chicken from Yonderway. I will supplement chicken with store bought but go with no nitrates, no hormones and no antibiotics… This is mainly because we go through a lot of chicken and I prefer boneless…
The strong do survive for sure. Jack was a visionary!!
