Climbing (and eating) with Son of Grok
Being the naive consumer from the east that I am, I spent a few minutes looking around for the REAL menu – with the sides, and other assorted crap I’m normally not overly interested in. To be fair, there was a small poster board announcing potatoes and the like, also having the option of being topped in MEAT. I settled down in front of half a rack of ribs, and a half pound of brisket and tried to resist the urge to hunker over my food and growl at people when they looked at it.
Gluten is bad kids, mmmkay!
I’m apparently one of the lucky people who is intolerant to gluten. Now, I normally eat loosely paleo (I eat some dairy and a fair amount of tubers, and wine) and feel pretty damn good. On climbing trips (most weekends) I’ll indulge and pizza and beer, and don’t normally feel any worse for wear for it.

Woman…lifting…does not compute
My girlfriend is recovering from an injury, and is about six weeks into a basic liner progression barbell strength program.
She hit 135lbs for 3 sets of 5 on her back squats for the first time yesterday, and was pretty pumped about it (she weighs about 125). As she was taking the bar out of the [...]
Mr. Quarter Squat does a 3/4 BW deadlift to impress a girl.
Over this past summer, I went to the gym with my boyfriend. I was on the sideline for the day because of an injury and agreed to go in and help him with his form on some Olympic lifts. We set up at one of the squat racks and I sat down on a bench [...]
Dude, you screwed up my time.
It’s no secret that the gym where I work out is filled with grunting wanna be tough guys and “I just wanna tone” girls cycling away aimlessly on treadmills.
That’s OK. They give me some strange looks but are harmless for the most part. They’re easy enough to either ignore, or make fun of, [...]
