- Newbie Orientation to Nutrition the Firebreather WayIf you are new to Firebreather Fitness, it is quite likely that you are also new to nutrition. From Zone to Primal .... from glucagon to triglycerides ... and from chocolate milk to deadlifts, it can all be quite overwhelming--at first. Be patient. Soak it all up like a sponge. And hang it there, because it will all make sense soon enough. […]

“TWINS” Dedicated to the Brothers Middleton for their Birthday!! Happy Birthday guys!
at the start of each minute do the following to failure:
- Deadlift / Pull Ups ~ once you have failed to do all reps go to
- Deadlift / Push Ups ~ once you have failed to do all reps go to
- Squats
1 min= 1 DL / 1 Pull Up 2nd min= 2 DL / 2 Pull Ups…. once you fail, take a 1 minute break and start with 1 DL / ? Push Ups (? = whatever minute you were on when you failed )…. once you fail there, take a 1 minute break and start back with only squats and do the same amount of reps as the minutes on the clock and continue on the minute to failure.
FIREBREATHER PROFILE: Jay Thomas
Name: Jay Thomas
Age: 51
Hometown: Charleston, WV
Favorite WOD: Linda ~ Though I have only done it twice.
Least Favorite WOD: Fran ~ It scares me.
The Last WOD that made you go YAK! ~ Has not happened yet.

How many Pull Ups could you do the first time you started CF? 10
How many Pull Ups can you do now? I have done up to 35.
Why do you CF? The reasons have evolved. Originally, it was to have better focus on the time I spent working out. In addition, I loved the joint emphasis on cardio and strength. Now it is as much about the great friends that we have made as it is about pushing ourselves. It is also about setting an example for our children as well as our very unhealthy community.
Favorite Firebreather Memory: When I work out I can look over my shoulder and see my wife Simone and daughters Alex and Victoria working out with me.
I have noticed that your hair always glistens in the sunlight. What type of hair care products do you use (Cameron wants to know)? The juice of the Goji berry combined with extract of the root of the Spider plant.
Jay will be competing in the Masters division at the CrossFit games this weekend. There will be a free live feed from CrossFit where you can watch every event. Just go on the main FF page and the link is in the upper right hand corner. The first event is Friday at noon.
