A real CONFIDENCE booster!

Pressing a heavy load can be a real confidence BOOSTER for everyone! The strength and stability needed to support a weight overhead has tremendous value for men and women. Each week I witness several student set Personal Records on PRESSING movements. Below is shot of AMY in complete control of a barbell that she never imagined pressing before starting CrossFit. She has never been stronger or more CONFIDENT about her physical capacity after just a few months of training. What are you doing to build your confidence?



Here's a group of students that decided to experience "The Chipper" (FINAL WOD of the CF GAMES 2009)

PALEO RECIPE
"Roast Pheasant with Fruit and Nut Stuffing"
1 pheasant (2-3 pounds)
Fresh ground pepper
Garlic powder
Olive oil
1 ½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup raisins
3 cloves
½ cup dried and coarsely chopped apricots (non-sulfured)
½ teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 F. Wash and dry the pheasant and brush with olive oil inside and out. Sprinkle inside and out with pepper and garlic powder. In a saucepan combine the orange juice, raisins and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer five minutes. Strain the mixture, discarding the cloves and reserving the orange juice and raisins. In a mixing bowl combine the raisins, apricots, ginger, orange peel and the nuts. Mix well and use the mixture to stuff the pheasant. Place the pheasant breast up on a rack in a roasting pan, and roast until tender, about 30 minutes per pound, brushing frequently with the remaining orange juice. Place the pheasant on a serving platter and trickle the liquid from the roasting pan over the pheasant.
