NIAMH, PRESSING OVER HEAD AT THE FUNDAMENTALS

4 fillets fresh or frozen (defrosted) wild caught Alaskan salmon with skin

lemon juice

squeeze lime juice

sea salt and pepper

4 T. organic virgin coconut oil (or olive oil) for frying

Seasonings:

dried sprinkle dill and lemon seasoning

Coconut Lime Sauce:

1 can organic coconut milk

1/3 c. lime juice

peel of fresh lime, grated for zest

handful organic no-sulfur shredded coconut (extra for garnish)

slices of fresh lime, garnish

Prepare your coconut sauce by combining and stirring all the lime sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Once mixed, poor roughly two-thirds of the glaze and salmon in a leak proof bag and let marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Coat your grill with olive oil (spray or otherwise). Grill the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side – we like our salmon rare-medium, depending on freshness. Once the salmon is done to your liking, remove it from the grill and drizzle over the remaining coconut lime sauce. Sprinkle the coconut flakes on top and serve hot with a wedge of fresh lime.

Try andeat the skin of the salmon to ingest the good Omega 3 fats. I know that sounds repulsive to some , but the Omega 3′s are found right under the skin. In his nutritional bible Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill, Udo Erasmus cites the areas right underneath the skin, around the gills, fins, and belly as the sites of Omega 3 fish oil stores (pg. 263 in case you’re curious). The good Omega 3 fats are a class of essential fats which our bodies cannot synthesize on their own, so they must come from our diet. The American/Western diet is lacking in quality fat (fish oils, coconut oil, hemp, flax, and olive oil), consumes far too much processed food, and has a highly distorted Omega3:Omega 6 ratio. This imbalance heightens the necessity for one to supplement his/her diet with more Omega 3 fats. Don’t worry, the good fat is metabolized quickly and efficiently in the body, so it is not stored; you will not “get fat” by eating the correct fats. Indeed, the opposite is true when reasonable consumption of quality fats are included in the diet. hum hum hum snack lunch

ARE SQUATS GOOD FOR ME?

Posted by: Michael | Comments (0)

Are Squats Good For me?

Yes! Squats are often called the “KING” of all exercises. Every athlete and fitness person should do squats; but you have to do them correctly and safely. You must maintain a very erect body position when descending into the deep squat position. Leaning too far forward in the squat can be dangerous to your lower back. You should also learn how to go down into the squat position so you are low enough. The top of your thighs should be parallel to the floor in a well-executed squat. Higher than that, and your losing some of the benefit to your strong hip muscles (gluteals and hamstrings). The pressure of the weight should be placed on your heels while descending as well as ascending and never on your toes

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

 Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics:pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstands, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.

Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. ROUTINE IS THE ENEMY. Keep workouts short and intense.

Regularly learn and play new sports!

All in anothers days work

The three metabolic pathways

Posted by: Michael | Comments (0)

Crossfit’s Dublins Third Fitness Standard for testing and developing fitness in our athletes

There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action. These “metabolic engines” are known as the phosphagenpathway, the glycolytic pathway, and the oxidative pathway.The first, the phosphagen, dominates the highest-powered activities,those that last less than about ten seconds. The second pathway, theglycolytic, dominates moderate-powered activities, those that lastup to several minutes. The third pathway, the oxidative, dominateslow-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutesTotal fitness, the fitness that CrossFit promotes and develops, requirescompetency and training in each of these three pathways or engines.Balancing the effects of these three pathways largely determines thehow and why of the metabolic conditioning or “cardio” that we do aCrossFit.Favoring one or two to the exclusion of the others and not recognizingthe impact of excessive training in the oxidative pathway are arguablythe two most common faults in fitness training. More on that later.

Flexibility ,its not a joke!

Posted by: Michael | Comments (3)

Flexibility

One of the most often overlooked of the ten physical skills is probably flexibility. It seems to me though that those most adamant about flexibility outside of the gymnastics and o lifting communities are most inclined to neglect the other nine general physical skills. A perfect squat, deadlift, or clean requires a tremendous deal of mobility at the hips, and a open chest. To often I see athletes who can’t put their arms straight above their head without any resistance. Many also couldn’t perform a deadlift with retracted shoulder blades if their life depended on it.

We don’t need to be able to do Chinese splits between two chairs but we should be capable of performing functional movements without feeling like your being forced into a position designed to torture prisoners of war. Squatting down until your hamstrings touch your calves is a natural position for the human body. Take some time to lengthen your muscles. With the number of individuals that come to class early merely to sit around I have a suggestion. Warm up and stretch. If you don’t know what to do for a warm up the CrossFit warm up is always a good one. Row a 500m  or run quarter of a mile and then spend some time improving the most boring, but equally important physical skill and that is your flexibility

This is mobility ,strong through the full range of movement

CROSSFIT DUBLIN PROMOTES PALEO DIET

Posted by: Michael | Comments (0)
THE HUNTER GATHER

THE HUNTER GATHER

HOW DOES THE PALEO(CAVEMAN/WOMAN)DIET WORK

With readily available modern foods, The Paleo Diet mimics the types of foods every single person on the planet ate prior to the Agricultural Revolution (a mere 500 generations ago). These foods (fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and seafood) are high in the beneficial nutrients (soluble fiber, antioxidant vitamins, phytochemicals, omega-3 and monounsaturated fats, and low-glycemic carbohydrates) that promote good health and are low in the foods and nutrients (refined sugars and grains, saturated and trans fats, salt, high-glycemic carbohydrates, and processed foods) that frequently may cause weight gain, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and numerous other health problems. The Paleo Diet encourages dieters to replace dairy and grain products with fresh fruits and vegetables — foods that are more nutritious than whole grains or dairy products.

Paleo Pepper Steak

1 pound round steak cut 1/2 inch thick

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 medium green pepper, sliced

dash garlic salt

1/4 cup water

2 cups shredded carrots (about 4 medium carrots)

Cut meat in half lengthwise with a sharp knife, then crosswise into thin slices. Brown meat in hot oil, then add onion and pepper; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in water, and sprinkle on garlic salt, and cook about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve on a bed of shredded carrots.
