Let’s get this out of the way right now: IT’S NOT OK TO PEE YOURSELF DURING A WORKOUT. I know that seems obvious and I’m in no way trying to make fun of that problem. But we need to talk about it because it’s fixable and could be a symptom of a much larger issue: […]

Some people are born with great athleticism.  It just comes naturally to them while others work day in and day out to live up to their potential.  If we could somehow put great athletes in the body of beginner athletes they’d say “Oh my God how do you even chew gum with this amount of […]

One of the maxims we use teaching Movement and Mobility seminars is “If it’s not moving, get it moving.”  It’s a classic Starrett-ism where you’re thinking “I don’t disagree, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.”  Well basically it means even seemingly simple movements are complex symphonies where lots of seemingly inconsequential players […]

Scott Brewster knows how to get work done. He came in as a “former CrossFitter,” who wanted to get back in shape, focus on his weaknesses, and enjoy the occasional craft brew.

What’s your athletic/fitness background?My […]

Ever come to DCF at 7am? If so, you’ve likely had a stellar workout with Rivers. He always has a great attitude and extremely coachable. He is willing to push himself and take a challenge to the next level. It would not be Rivers without his “scurry” run during warm ups when we do shuttle runs. […]

Despite the myriad programs floating around the internet. Despite the claim by “experts” who know how to apply a vast quiver of “fixes” to your problem. Even despite my own declaration of vociferous reading and knowledge. There are only three ways to get strong(er). Get ready for a long article though because it takes a […]

We’re firm believers in the idea that safety and performance are two sides of the same coin.  The cues we give elite powerlifters and Games-bound CrossFitters are the same cues we give people trying to fix their nagging back pain or bum knee.  Think of your body like a wrench.  Could you use the wrench […]
