Testimonials
I love Crossfit Bishop. I am the kind of girl that isn't content with 30 minutes of "cardio" on a bike, or a step aerobics class. I like the full body burn, the opportunity to compete, and most of all the surprise that comes with doing something you didn't think you could do. Crossfit is the master at all of this. Crossfit breaks your body down so it can build back up into a better stronger one. It challenges your mind when you do three more reps than you thought possible. And it teaches your heart all you are capable of. Colin is a great instructor. I’ve never had a personal trainer but it is awesome having someone watching your form so closely, it makes you feel safe knowing that someone is looking out for you during challenging exercises so that you can push yourself a little further. Crossfit Bishop has got Colins intensity and attention to detail, Mollys inspiring fitness and kind spirit, a group of incredibly fun and fit people who are as psyched as you and an adorable baby too. Its certainly one of my favorite places to be in Bishop!!

Crossfit Works! As a young buck, flush with time to get out in the mountains, I felt strongly that the best training for climbing and backcountry skiing was... climbing and backcountry skiing. Now I'm by no means the busiest guy, nor do I have the most sedentary job, but I've felt the pinch of time in recent months. I've spent many days over these busy months with Colin at Crossfit Bishop. Colin energizes the classes, exudes knowledge and confidence, and successfully walks the fine line between motivation and all out pushing. I just had my first opportunity in months to test my new Crossfitted bod'. I can say that the total body training and the fresh, varied workouts make a huge difference! The strength and endurance gains from Crossfit really shined on a recent one-day, monstrous exploratory ski tour in the High Sierra. I look forward to continuing to train and continuing to express strength gains.

I really appreciate all the dedication, knowledge, and energy you and Molly are so generous in giving. Your trained, focused attention and interest in supporting not only my fitness goals, but maximizing the quality of my performance, keeps me engaged and committed. It is inspiring to be around and has been a great catalyst fueling a new level in my health and fitness. It has always been a priority for me, but sometimes the conditions just have to be right to step up the quality and intensity. I suppose much like a CF workout...So, really, thanks. You guys are providing something very worthy to the Bishop community.

CrossFit is a different kind of fitness program that requires much more than gripping a bar and hammering out concentration curls. The complexity and variety of the movements, coupled with the intensity makes for a compelling system of improving one's physical and mental fitness. This is not accomplished without expert, careful, selfless coaching which Colin Broadwater provides.

So much conflicting info out there for "optimum" nutrition. Probably because there are so many "certified" experts!
--------------------------
In fact, Fitzgerald says, endurance athletes can consume more fat – provided it is made up of "essential fats" such as omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids – and less protein than the 20 percent commonly recommended.
"There has been some research where, when you bump protein intake way up, it can harm performance," he says. "An analysis of elite Kenyan runners shows they're right at 10 percent (protein intake), and they are the best runners in the world. So there you go."
--------------------------
No mention of an overconsumption of omega-6 already (according to Cordain), no mention of how much "way up" is (or a citation of the research) and no other causation for Kenyan dominance...must be because they only eat 10% protien! (if that's even true...)
And then, of course...eat whole grains! Well, different strokes I guess is the rule.

You're on it Chris. There are infinite different prescriptions for nutrition and diet. Bottom I think is a CrossFit-style approach. Try it. If you're serious, measure it. If it's good for you, go with it. If not, try something different and keep tweaking.
Can I do this with my body weight? 240 is a lot right?
Back squats are hard. Had to imagine I was lifting a car off Naya to make my body move out of a full depth squat.
Nuno~Colin is out training right now but in case you wanted to get on with the workout.... you should probably warm up with a weight you could do like 10 reps with, then 5 reps, 3 reps, and then start working toward a weight that is heavy enough to only want to do one rep, then keep working up in weight until you have done 7 reps either at one consistent weight (you could use 240 the entire time) or gradually increasing the weight for each rep. If you can work up to 240, or even surpass it, GREAT! Hope this answers your question. Example of 7, 1 rep max: 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155 (failure), 150
I'm with you Nils. One of the (many) things I love about CF is the 'relative' aspect of everything. It's all about trying it out, measuring the results, and then either using it or not depending on how it worked. It forces each person to get curious about themselves, their bodies, mechanics...to listen and take note. Its empowering. I saw a clip in the Journal about how CF is not about one way of doing things, whether diet or DLs--check it out, be safe, and see if it is effective. Specialize in not specializing, I think is what they say.
Forgot to mention above that although everyone was awesome today, I was so impressed with Krista! She looked like she was just warming up on 165# but the clock struck 7am and reality outside the garage was upon her with no time to go heavier. So she left it at that. Can't wait to see the outcome next time!
Next time we'll see! Too bad I did have to leave to go to work. Everyone was awesome!
