Hi!
This email is coming to you from just outside of Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. Here’s what I’ve found cool, fun, or noteworthy this week.
My latest podcast –
AAJ 154: Training Intensity & Listening to Your Body
This podcast is extremely relevant for you CrossFitters that are trying to bust your butt everyday in the gym, or anyone that likes to train hard and get results fast.
Bag that I’m testing (and LOVING) –
Backpack II from King Kong
I have been a longtime fan of the King Kong duffle bags, and they recently asked me if I’d like to try out their backpack. Of course I said yes!
Without going on too long about this, what I can tell you are my highlights (so far)… Highlight 1 – When traveling you can open the bag fully (like a clamshell) and keep all of your things organized. Highlight 2 – There are 2 large water bottle holders that can be zipped open or closed to fit a larger bottle or get the pouch out of the way. This might not sounds like a big deal, but… this is the best water bottle system that I’ve every had on a bag.
So, as you can tell, I’m a big fan! Let me know if you have any questions.
New home away from home –
EHP Performance
If you’re ever traveling through Moorhead Minnesota you need to drop in at EHP CrossFit. My good friend Karla Wolford has built an amazing community that you have to experience (kids and adults alike)! Man, you could relocate there just for the gym!
My top social post –
Hiking at Custer State Park in South Dakota – see it here
This image has actually become my top Instagram post ever! #hotpost #nowords
Simple workout that I’m loving –
2 sets of: 100 foot walking barbell lunges
Here’s the catch – these have to be very heavy. I did them at 205 pounds and 225 pounds.
So, work up to 2 very heavy sets and I guarantee this will cause some adaptation :-). They should be unbroken, BUT can be slow. You can see my pace here

That’s what I have for you this week. If you need anything at all… just hit reply!
Cheers!
