STRONGMAN Jim Glassman now CrossFit…

Recently, STRONGMAN Jim Glassman tried CrossFit @ LALANNE FITNESS. His first WOD was the world famous 3 round "Fight Gone Bad." For a guy that weights over 300 lb... this workout was one heck of an intro to CrossFit and what he called "good cardio." Jeff got through the 2nd round and decided he'd had enough for his first day. After a trip down Pukie lane (Howard St.), I thought we'd never see him again. WRONG. He was back the very next day, ready for more! WELCOME to the Brickhouse JIM!

PALEO RESOURCE
"Cereal Grains: Humanity’s Double-Edged Sword"
Cereal grains obviously can be included in moderate amounts in the diets of most people without any noticeable, deleterious health effects, and herein lies their strength. When combined with a variety of both animal- and plant-based foods, they provide a cheap and plentiful caloric source, capable of sustaining and promoting human life. The ecologic, energetic efficiency wrought by the widespread cultivation and domestication of cereal grains allowed for the dramatic expansion of worldwide human populations, which in turn, ultimately led to humanity’s enormous cultural and technological accomplishments. The downside of cereal grain consumption is their ability to disrupt health and well being in virtually all people when consumed in excessive quantity. This information has only been empirically known since the discovery of vitamins, minerals and certain antinutrients in the early part of this century.
