Eat Your Liver!

How many of you eat liver?

I am going to give the raw liver pills a try with the liver from Cool Springs Ranch. Here is a great article on why you should eat liver from the Weston A. Price Foundation.


The following is an excerpt from the Weston A. Price article on the health benefits of liver.

So what makes liver so wonderful? Quite simply, it contains more nutrients, gram for gram, than any other food. In summary, liver provides:
An excellent source of high-quality protein
Nature’s most concentrated source of vitamin A
All the B vitamins in abundance, particularly vitamin B12
One of our best sources of folic acid
A highly usable form of iron
Trace elements such as copper, zinc and chromium; liver is our best source of copper
An unidentified anti-fatigue factor
CoQ10, a nutrient that is especially important for cardio-vascular function
A good source of purines, nitrogen-containing compounds that serve as precursors for DNA and RNA.
ANTI-FATIGUE FACTOR

Liver’s as-yet-unidentified anti-fatigue factor makes it a favorite with athletes and bodybuilders. The factor was described by Benjamin K. Ershoff, PhD, in a July 1951 article published in the Proceedings for the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine.
Ershoff divided laboratory rats into three groups. The first ate a basic diet, fortified with 11 vitamins. The second ate the same diet, along with an additional supply of vitamin B complex. The third ate the original diet, but instead of vitamin B complex received 10 percent of rations as powdered liver.
A 1975 article published in Prevention magazine described the experiment as follows: "After several weeks, the animals were placed one by one into a drum of cold water from which they could not climb out. They literally were forced to sink or swim. Rats in the first group swam for an average 13.3 minutes before giving up. The second group, which had the added fortifications of B vitamins, swam for an average of 13.4 minutes. Of the last group of rats, the ones receiving liver, three swam for 63, 83 and 87 minutes. The other nine rats in this group were still swimming vigorously at the end of two hours when the test was terminated. Something in the liver had prevented them from becoming exhausted. To this day scientists have not been able to pin a label on this anti-fatigue factor."

Running on Sunday

Just to let you know, we will be running on Sunday. We are doing the benchmark WOD Helen. We will have a new 400 meter route that is much drier than the alley route.

For those of you new to Helen...

This is a video of James "OPT" Fitzgerald. James is my coach and I am also studying with him through his Coaching Certification Program. You can read all about the program through the link below.

Advanced do pseudo planche push-ups 5 sets of 3 reps; rest 1 min. If you have a solid pseudo planche push-up, then move onto the planche push-ups with a wall. I did some of these last night.

Clean warm up

I thought I would repost some of the great warmup movements that prepare the athlete for the clean. The point of these drills is to establish a consistent motor recruitment pattern. Perform them methodically and with care and your lifts will improve.

These drills are from Catalyst Athletics. I couldn't find a video of the tall muscle clean.

New Cancellation Policy at flux CrossFit

Context:

Over the past few months we have noticed a number of athletes canceling at the last minute or not even showing up for a class they're registered in. Up to this point we've let this slide with just a friendly reminder. However, with the marked increase in times that this is happening recently, we realize that the friendly reminder is not really working.

There are many reasons why it is important to cancel in a timely manner. Here are a couple:

Darci looks to see who is attending classes and then goes about individualizing the program to suit those athletes' needs and capabilities. This takes quite a bit of time and work.

And more importantly, it is about respecting your fellow flux athletes so that others have the opportunity to get in to the spot in class that you have taken up. We pride ourselves in keeping our classes capped so that our coaches can give every athlete and their workouts close attention. This means that if athletes don't cancel with enough notice, the folks on the wait list don't have time to get to the session. And, if folks just don't show up, then they have taken up a spot that could have been used by another athlete.

Our solution:

After a great deal of consideration and discussion with our coaches, we've decided to implement a new cancellation policy. Starting Sunday, March 20th the new cancellation policy is as follows:

New Policy

Any flux member who does not give 8-hours notice when canceling out of a session will be subject to a $5 charge (each time).

We appreciate that everyone has busy schedules and things do occasionally come up, however, with this policy we are trying to respect all of our flux athletes.

Thanks again for jumping on board with our new policy!

Sincerely,
Charity (and Darci)

Gymnastics Strength

"As for their effectiveness, I've seen many gymnasts capable of planche push-ups do double bodyweight bench presses on their first attempts. Conversely, I've never seen a weightlifter capable of doing a double bodyweight bench press even come close to a planche push-up initially." Coach Summers.

We have a lot of new folks at Flux these days and many have been asking about the benefits of gymnastics training. This article should answer most of your questions. This is an article I posted sometime ago.

Enjoy!

It's the little things that count!
