Wednesday May 14, 2014

This year Friday May 23rd, we will do the “Murph” WOD to kick off the Memorial Day weekend. You’ve heard the workout. You know it’s gonna be awful. But do you know the story behind Murph? Or why we do these Hero workouts?

CrossFit Hero Workouts are done in honor of those who have died in the line of service defending our country. Firefighters and police officers and soldiers in the different branches of military who were CrossFitters themselves are honored with workouts named after them. So when you find yourself struggling to fight through the first pull ups or the squats or the last run, remember that people have died defending our country and that you are alive. Each day is a blessing.

“Murph” is named after Lt. Michael P. Murphy was a United States Navy Seal who was killed June 28, 2005 along with four other Navy SEALS after exposing himself to enemy fire and knowingly leaving his position of cover to get a clear signal in order to communicate with his headquarters. He provided his unit’s location and requested immediate support for his element and then returned to his position to continue fighting until he died from his wounds (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Murphy). He was awarded the Medal of Honor for these heroic actions.

Make sure over Memorial Day weekend you take the time to thank those you know for their service!

Axelson, 29, of Cupertino, Calif; Information Systems Technician Senior Chief (SEAL) Daniel R.

Patton, 22, of Boulder City, Nev.; LT (SEAL) Michael P. Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y. With the exception of the lone survivor, Luttrell, all were killed June 28, 2005 by enemy forces while supporting Operation Redwing 050628-N-0000X-001

Please help us help you...When you participate in sports, bumps, bruises, and occasional injuries are part of the game. For these minor aches and pains icing is one of the most effective methods prescribed to athletes. Icing can also play a role in injury prevention. Now, make no mistake about it CrossFit is a sport and once in a while you are going to need to ice. We all say we will ice when we get home, but too often life often gets in the way of our good intentions, which is why we have decided to turn our focus towards purchasing an ice machine for the box. This way you can grab a bag on your way out the door and by the time you get home you will have already done a world of good for your body. Eventually we hope to purchase some soaking tubs like these ones in case you are feeling frisky:)

Ice machines are unfortunately not a $100 purchase at your local Wal-Mart but our hope is that as a community we can make it happen. After doing some research, it appears that an ice machine for what we will need runs between $1000 and $1200, which is just not in the BCF budget. Luckily for us we have a great CrossFit community and we are a big believer in many hands making for light work. We will be placing a jar out at the box and we are hoping that members can help donate towards helping us secure an ice machine for everyone to utilize. If you have any ideas or questions about acquiring an ice machine for our community, please let us know. Hopefully soon, we can all start taking advantage of this very simple but effective treatment.

Here is an article to help you get more out of your coffee for all of you coffee hounds:)


I’m Bulletprooooof, nothin to lose!

In passing, you may have heard some of those caffeine gulping folk speak of their coffee as being “Bulletproof”….

I’m sorry…What?? So what you’re saying is if I point a pistol at your Ecuadorian blend and fire a shot at it for no reason whatsoever, it will ricochet off the surface of the innocent coffee drink? That’s incredible!! Sign me up!

Not literally bulletproof, however, the effects of the coffee might make you feel bulletproof! *Just take note and remember that you’re not*

I have got to know what Bulletproof Coffee is!

A fellow that goes by the name of Dave Asprey is the founder of the brand Bulletproof Coffee. His story goes a little something like this:

“I learned about the power of butter at 18,000 feet of elevation near Mt. Kailash in Tibet. I staggered into a guest house from the -10 degree weather and was literally rejuvenated by a creamy cup of yak butter tea. The biohacker in me asked, “why?” and after a couple years of careful research, that was the genesis of the recipe”. Dave went on to create his own coffee that he claims to be “the lowest-toxin, highest performance coffee there is”.

Here are some benefits to this life changing beverage:

-Setting your body up at the beginning of the day to burn fat for energy

-If you have a hard time getting food down in the a.m., enjoying a bulletproof coffee will keep you satisfied with level energy

-boundless focus

That is awesome! Now how do I make it?
Brew 12-16oz of low toxin, black coffee
Add 1-2 Tablespoons grass-fed, unsalted butter (I use Kerrygold, which you can purchase at Trader Joe’s, New Leaf, and Whole Foods)
Add 1-2 Tablespoons MCT oil or coconut oil
Blend for 20-30 seconds with either a countertop blender or an immersion blender to create a creamy latte effect *You’ll definitely want to use some sort of blender…even though you can do double unders really fast doesn’t mean that you can whisk coffee with oils until it emulsifies, that just sounds purely exhausting.

So why the butter?

Any grass-fed, unsalted butter will work here. Understanding that corn-fed or soy-fed cows do not make butter with the same fats is important. Especially because we want healthy fats that our bodies will use to make cell walls and hormones, as well as give us tons of energy to begin our day and optimize our cholesterol! Whoa! Love butter.

What is MCT oil and why can I use coconut oil as a sub?

MCT oil is 6x stronger than coconut oil which means more efficient energy, burns quickly, and increases cognitive function. So you can still use coconut oil but might not be reaping all the benefits.

Do I really need to purchase his brand of coffee?

Coffee is one of the most chemically-treated crops on the planet. Toxins in cheap coffee also steal your mental edge and actually make you weak. With that said, purchase organic coffee or go local.

Here is the link to the website where you can explore The Bulletproof Way and also purchase items like coffee and MCT oil.
