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 handstand, 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.

Effortless....
I've had more and more requests for nutritional information. My intention is to get our nutrition blog up to speed with all things nutrition, but for now we will just be focusing on sharing recipes and ideas for eating well. Let me know if you would like to contribute as a guest blogger! (its on the left side nav bar now too:)
We have written on nutrition numerous times, but here are two basic articles I like to start people with: Zone meal plans and the Paleo diet. Please read and comment!

The articles you posted Diso was the nudge for me to start Paleo-zone, so thanks!
2 days after this WOD and my body is feeling it; very sore-- I think I love SDHPs. I'm slowingly getting over my phobias, and I'm completely stoked that I can confidently hang upside down :)
Everytime I work the rings I think, "I should do this more often."
I love the articles and yes, how can you not have time to cook? Just enjoy the Sunday afternoon with your fav music and dance in the kitchen as you are cooking. Cooking is fun and I grew up in a family where "eating out" almost didn't exist (i had my first McDonalds when I was 19). We loved cooking and eating together. Although I have lived alone for the last 6 years, in US, I still carry this family tradition with me and I sure do enjoy a nice broiled chicken, over greens, pear with some olive-oil and lemon dressing.
Stupid hard.
2 pood, one arm SDHP sub.

Some good early Friday am reading.. the start of an adventure. Thanks for posting Diso.
