Low Carb – Paleo, Evolution in the discussion with Robb Wolf
One of the things I like about Robb is that he is engaged in a path of learning and improvement. It is a constantly evolving process. He is not sold on his own opinions but rather in a search for the truth. He is not afraid to correct himself, a quality I find rare in people considered to be experts in their field.
Fear not, less than 2 days til the end of the world.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

Just a reminder that I will not be at the gym tomorrow or Saturday but have no fear because Tim will be covering the classes so everything will be normal. Also Ill be doing the website as normal but expect the posts to be up at late/ weird times.
Here is the link to everything you need to know about the norcal regionals this weekend. Word on the street is that they are streaming it live online. Not sure where to find the link but im sure it will be on this page. You can also ask Brian B because he will know better then I would. Pops Sulon aka Papa Bear is setting up a Crossfit SR base camp so if you make it out send me a text or email to come hang out with the crew!
