Check out www.beyondthewhiteboard.com – really neat Crossfit website. It has an encyclopedia of workouts cross-referenced by movement. I find that really handy; on the days that I work out at home, I’ll often want to do a workout that includes some movement that I haven’t done in a while or includes some piece of equipement I have. So, for example, I could find all of the workouts that include ring dips. Just doing that quick lookup, I found a couple of new workouts that I can do at home. Well done!

Crossfit Collage
Yup, that’s me in the lower left of the 2008 crossfit collage for Crossfit Eastside. Happy New Year to my friends there and I’m looking forward to a great 2009 working out with you.
Interesting Article On Glycemic Index
From MSNBC – http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27645085/ — if you just do your nutrition management based on glycemic index, you are fooling yourself. This article makes some good points about why GI isn’t as meaningful as one might think.
Pull-Ups – Get Some And Then Get Some More
Get some, and then get some more. Just put in the Studbar Pullup Bar and have been working on my pullups. Yup, I continue to be a fitness geek. This bar is awesome. The rafters in my garage are 2x4s so I may sister them up just to make me feel a little better about not pulling down the roof when I’m using it, but it generally feels pretty solid. The crossbar itself has a little flex to it, which is also good.
Of course, we all gave it a try — and have the sore hands to prove it.
