September's Athlete of the Month is Corey Derr! You may see not him around too often unless you're joining the early birds at 5:30 am or at the Saturday classes every now and then. Corey is what we like to call, a humble lion. He shows up almost every Monday Wednesday and Friday (for the most part) in the darkest of mornings at 5:30. He doesn't say a whole lot--as most of us are still waking up--but once that clock beeps and the workout starts, his inner lion comes out. One of the coolest things we've seen in working with him is his determination and grit. After losing over 30 pounds, his technique and form has improved tremendously and he's even rocking toes to bar and pull ....

So I just got back from Boulder, Colorado visiting my brother. It's really fun. I get to go to CrossFit Roots... I Love That Gym. The workout we did when I was there was a 15 minute on the minute Hang Power Clean. What's interesting about this is that it was meant to be technique work. They made an emphasis that the weight you're going to record at the end of the workout is the heaviest weight you performed the movement PROPERLY. When I was doing this workout, I did a couple sets and starting getting heavier with the weights, but I started getting 'messy' with my technique, especially the last couple of minutes. So at the end of the class when we were reviewing the class and ....

What is somatotyping?
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the term “somatotype” refers to a classification of human physique/body type. The somatotype classification system is attributed to a psychologist W.H. Sheldon. Within the system there are three main classifications: ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. These terms tend to denote extremes and a typical individual rarely falls on any of the three extremes but is usually considered a blend of two or all three with a tendency toward one. However, for the purpose of simplicity a person who is considered primarily ectomorph with a mesomorph influence is still deemed an ectomorph. In his work, Sheldon ....

Nutrition, Macronutrients, grapes...what do these have to do with CrossFit? Nutrition is the most important part of getting results and maintaining them. It's one of our main focuses at Strong Together Hackettstown Crossfit. Coach Christine and I break it down in this weeks AMRAP... The different macronutrient categories are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. You want to get each of these at EVERY meal! Obviously there are different parts of nutrition, but those are the main three you're looking to get to make sure your meals are well balanced. Each of those different forms of macronutrients has a different role that it plays. Different forms of energy are created from these ....

There was no time after work because I had to run my kids around to all their activities. I can tell you, with all honesty, there were days that I could barely move. I was so sore and stiff my co-workers would ask me what happened. My workout schedule changed and I started working out at night but I still was not spending time on my flexibility or attacking those sore muscles. After my shoulder and hip surgery, I started to focus on preparing for the workout and my recovery. I always hit ....

Some of you have asked about ways to prepare for, or even what an obstacle race is. Today I am going to answer both of those questions. An Obstacle Course Race (OCR) is an event that spans a set distance with varying terrain and challenges (i.e. ring obstacles, wall climbs, heavy carries, spear throws, tire flips etc.) with time or even just completion being the goal. It is a mental challenge, as well as a highly physical one, and while it can be a lot of work it can also be a lot of fun. I know of many people who started out with a short mud run and got bitten by the bug, and now dedicate themselves to numerous Spartan Races a year. What are some ways I can prepare for ....

This week, Coach Mike and I discussed the issue of Quality vs Quantity in regards to workouts at Strong Together Hackettstown CrossFit. "One of the things we've seen recently is people thinking they need to workout more instead of working out better or more intense. The time of your workout doesn't need to be three hours IF you're putting absolute effort into the hour that yo're here. Should I be doing workouts that are long and grueling and super heavy weights? Or should I do workouts that allow me to move a little quicker, a little bit faster, and still challenge myself with different strength aspects? That's what we want you guys to start thinking about... Are you challenging ....

How strong is strong enough?
The beauty of this question is that there is no universally correct answer. Your answer is entirely up to you. Obviously, the answer is “as strong as humanly possible” for athletes competing in power lifting, Olympic lifting, and Strongman, and similar sports. The rest of us must weigh our answer and pursuit of PRs against many other worthy goals. At face value, I want every single person that I encounter at Strong Together Hackettstown CrossFit to get stronger (and I fully support them wanting this for themselves). However, there comes a point when pushing your strength training above all else will bring more detriment than good. Any pursuit, ....

Injuries are a drag even if it is for only a few days. If we are in pain, it effects our daily life. That's the amazing part about our bodies. Our bodies tell us when there is something wrong. Unfortunately, we don’t always listen and end up causing more pain. Pushing through injury or pain is not the answer. Modify or scale down your workout until your pain subsides. Otherwise, you will prolong your injury. I say this because I’ve learned the hard way. Rewind seven years ago when I first experienced shoulder pain about a month after shoveling snow. I was not actively working out so I was shocked to be experiencing pain. I did seek medical attention and was prescribed ....

Cherry Picking = The act of only going to workouts that you think are fun and easy, usually due to the fact that you feel you are or you are proficient in that main movement, movements, or repetition scheme. Unless you’re picking them from a delicious tree you should not be cherry picking. We all want to do a fun workout but the problem is if we only do fun workouts, or workouts that we are good at, we will stop growing and getting better. If we are always avoiding the workouts with back squats we will never get good at them. If we are always avoiding the workouts with body weight movements in them we are stunting our growth.

When to train, more or less. How much should you train? How many days should you workout? It all depends on you. We highly recommend that you spend 3 days a week in the gym. 3 hours, that's it. Less than 2 percent of your week should go to fitness. About 95 percent of your goals can be reached with proper nutrition and 3 classes a week. If you can only make 2 days, or even one, that is totally fine. Just try and do something somewhere. Maybe a 20 minute walk with your spouse or even a 20 minute yoga session at home. Just log some kind of activity and you will be just fine. Of course keep on proper nutrition. Remember even 1 day a week is exponentially better than NO days a ....

“Butt back, knees out, weight in the heels, hips down below the tops of the knees!”
How many times have you heard us say this in class? It’s probably something that pops into your mind as you go about your day. Not only in our squats but in other movements we do as well. In our push ups telling you to get your chest to the deck, or pull ups to fully extend your arms to the bottom and then pull up, and even in our presses to fully lock out overhead. It’s a broken record, we say it everyday and I’d go as far as probably every hour of our day. We have our reasons and I’m here to tell you why (if you’re not already sure). As ....

Soreness I was recently talking with some new Strong Together members about soreness. They were talking about how sore they were and that their co-workers were saying you are too sore to work today. Lol. I right away think of the quote. "I'll do things today that you won't do so tomorrow I'll do things you can't do." When we first start working out we may have a bad association with being sore. Maybe you don't want to get to sore or I'm too sore to workout the rest of the week. The thing with sore muscles is that you earned it! I have been working out hard for about 10 years now, and when I get sore I can honestly say I am super excited about it. Because I earned it! I must work ....

The warm weather has arrived. That means leaving the family room and heading outside for some sunlight and fun! Every year around this time we get to meet some new people who are super motivated to start getting their health and fitness in line. We also see a big drop off in those that already had their health and fitness under control as they disappear into the never ending party of spring and summer. The sad part is that both of these people will work extremely hard to fix mistakes they made either during the colder months when they're hiding under layers of clothing, or mistakes made during the warmer months when adult beverages and snack foods make up the larger part of their diets. ....

Feel like complaining today? DON’T! This blog post is going to be quite the contradiction while I complain about those who are negative and complain, just hear me out. Negativity is inevitable in our day to day lives, you’ll hear or see it everywhere you look in social media, the news, at work, at home. How do you overcome the negativity that slowly brews and spreads like wildfire? Think before you speak, or post, or comment on anything at all. I saw a quote recently that said; “If the words you spoke appeared on your skin, would you still be beautiful?”. Now I’m not saying that we are a gym full of complainers but there are days where ....

If you are on the GO and can't make it to Hackettstown CrossFit this week, you should definitely check out this list of exercises below. My personal opinion, I would take a number 1-100, find that workout, and do it! If you are bad at choosing numbers or you think you might cheat, then have a friend/family member or someone working at the front desk of your hotel pick a number for you! If the hotel has dumbbells then you can add those to most movements like squats or make a push up a press. You can be your own personal trainer when on vacation :) Get TONED, Lose some weight, and have FUN, all while enjoying your vacation! Warmup

How can you make a difference with people you don’t know?
You may have heard the line, “You are the sum of the 5 people closest to you”? In work, family, life, and actually… also in fitness and health. People who associate with people who don’t take care of their health typically also don’t take care of their own health. They are influencing or are influenced. If someone is in an environment where their friends smoke and are over weight, studies show that that person will likely be or end up the same if they stay in that environment. Since you care about your health and fitness and you move towards that daily, the people closest to you are also ....
I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about having quite hours AKA none electronic hours in the house.
Trisha and I try our best not to use electronics after 9:00PM. Some days it is harder than others but we do our best. It is good for your clarity and every single relationship around you. You can read, meditate, do mobility, reproduce, anything besides looking at a glowing piece of plastic. It is so important for your health to let your head wind down before bed. If you are going into a social vortex or cramming in late night work you may be going to bed with a very stressed-out head. I know that some of us have work that needs to get done it happens to me sometimes ....
“You cannot exercise away a bad diet.”
—Greg Glassman, CrossFit Founder and CEO If you haven’t ever heard Greg Speak, check out some youtube videos. Brilliant guy. You cannot exercise away a bad diet. Why did he say that and what does he mean? Well specifically he is battling big soda right now. All the sugar they are marketing to the world especially aiming campaigns at kids. Sugar is very bad for you. Here is a little clip To me it means that nutrition is 95 percent of your health and wellness. No one wants to hear it. We all want it to not be true. You can’t eat McDonalds and Pizza everyday and just hit the gym and think that you will see ....
A while back I made an effort to distance myself from commercials and TV news. I really feel like it is just a fear inducing brain rot. I know that sounds aggressive but it’s true. You never walk away from a commercial or tv news feeling good and excited to attack your day and your life. It is just bad news followed by.. get ready for bad news.. with persuasive & compelling marketing before, middle and after. So what would TV look like with no commercials?
No cable but we have Netflix for sure. No car radio but satellite instead. This has been going on for about 3 years now with no commercials for Trisha or I. I try not to really play music in the car anymore either but ....
People always ask about protein shakes. There is so much information out there and so many people saying different things about it. There are some big misconceptions out there.
For me I only drink protein shakes after my workout. Maybe if I’m in a rush and can’t cook breakfast. But I don’t drink them that often, for me I prefer to get in whole real food after my workout. But shakes definitely have their place when you need them you need them. We are always teaching the importance of eating recovery food or shake right after your workout. Now the truth about shake diets (everyone knows or has heard of someone on a shake diet that had lost all this weight). First ....
We all get beat up occasionally. I can personally think of some major challenges that have happened in my life and even right now if I am honest. It is important for us to fail and fail often. When we fail we are getting ourselves on step closer to being successful. We can’t let that failure stop us or prevent us from pushing forward towards our goals. If you aren’t failing you aren’t trying enough. You are playing it too safe. When I get to the end I want to be scarred and leathered with a big huge smile on my face that I played the life game 100 percent. In the gym we want you to fail. We want you to try new things. We encourage it. If you try for a handstand push ....
