Nutrition
- 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. […]

Today’s WOD was a painful one. Good job to all the 545ers. I finished in 30:59 unmodified.
I can check off on one of my 2010 goals today. I was able to complete today’s WOD before Angie. It was a miracle or maybe Venus must be alined with Pluto or some crazy stuff like that. Today I will bask in glory but come tomorrow she will probably blow me away like she has been doing.
Coach Gary, Jiu-Jitsu tonight at 6:30?
Haha, congrats, Derek — surpassing Angie on any given wod is always a significant accomplishment (and one I have almost never experienced). However, I feel compelled to jump in here on behalf of my Firebreather Bowl teammate — Angie cranked out about 3 million full squat snatches and about eight million double unders while carrying our team yesterday and trying to keep us in the game, so she may have been a little gassed today lol.
I agree, Derek, painful is a good way to describe this one. The situps were a breeze, but one of my weaknesses (the push ups) was exploited big time today. At approximately 6:50 am, having to get on the road to get to work, I conceded and modified my push ups for the last two sets. It didn’t help much. I went from one-rep sets, to three-rep sets. I finished in 26:55 (or close to it.)
Derek…BJJ is on tonight.
Awesome job to the 830 crew.. Gary Christy Lisa and Chris M(nemesis).. Congrats to Gary for knockin out 225 on the 3×5 deadlifts!!
