  1. Happy b-day, Nick!!! Unluckily, your b-day will be my rest day. But I’ll sing the b-day song for sure when I see you!!! Enjoy your day! :-D

    BTW, thanks very much for your feedback on my training videos!

  2. Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Happy Birthday to YOU…Happy Birthday Nick! Hope you have a great day!!

  3. Happy birthday!! I need to do 5 wods today, I am fat as a cow. I ate one too many peanut butter balls.

  4. Happy Birthday Nick, owner of the coolest shoes at CFM!

    After eating massive amounts of cookies, chocolate buckeyes, and hot wings, and quaffing beer like a viking for about week, I feel like the blueberry girl in Willy Wonka.

    What are hours for New Years week (esp. New Years Eve)? Thanks!

  5. First off I can’t see Todd struggling on Bench Press. Since when did you become a comedian? :)

    Second I can never picture Jessica as a cow??? Maybe a baby calf not a cow haha

    Third remember Paul Buckeyes are poisonous but some of the greatest foods you will ever eat especially on January 1st in the Rose Bowl.

    Finally Happy Birthday Nick. I am going shopping at Whole Foods this afternoon any advice?

  6. Mike: grab these at WholeFoods

    Grapefruit
    Honeycrisp Apples
    Blueberries
    Broccoli

    Annies Worchestershire
    Pickapeppa Sauce for the Jerk Chicken
    Marmalade for the chops

    Organic Raw Almond Butter Crunchy
    Gluten Free Rolled Oats

    New Chapter Fish Oil from Wild Alaskan Salmon

    At GoodFoods pick up in their butcher:

    Pork Loin Chops for Breakfast
    Pork Chops
    Organic Chicken Breast

    Sweet Potatoes organic from Casey Co
    Cream of Brown Rice

    Now one of my favorites you can make quick:

    Jerk chicken slow and low cook with Annies and then serve with Pickapeppa
    Steamed Broccoli assuming you have a steamer
    Blueberries
    Sweet Potato 45 minutes at 450

  7. Paul I already have a bet vs. Kretz 100 burpees with a 20 lb weighted vest on. Do you want in on that too? :)

  8. Whoah, sounds like Kretz has things under control. I don’t think I could get up once with that thing on.

    Good bet, and good luck! (I think OSU is too slow).

  9. Happy BD Nick. Going to try to keep my hands in closer on press to eliminate shoulder pain, damn AC joints. Found this on NYT health article from 23rd:

    What the researchers found was a clear correlation between inflexible bodies and inflexible arteries in subjects older than 40. Adults with poor results on the sit-and-reach test also tended to have relatively high readings of arterial stiffness. In short, the study concluded that “a less flexible body indicates arterial stiffening, especially in middle-aged and older adults.” No such correlation was found in those under 40, even when gender and fitness were considered as factors…..

    What is surprising are some early indications that increasing your flexibility might somehow loosen up your arteries, too. That was the accidental and, as yet unreplicated finding of a small 2008 study at the University of Texas at Austin. The study was designed to examine whether weight lifting increased arterial stiffness. (It didn’t, at least on this occasion.) The control group consisted of people who stretched. They were not expected to show any change in cardiac function, but over the course of 13 weeks they in fact increased the pliability of their arteries by more than 20 percent.

    Gotta get stretching

  10. Nick…
    How could you ever guess?! I even had on a white dress, dyed my hair and slathered on about 10 lbs of make-up! I have it on video…maybe I will show it next Christmas at the CFM Christmas party! LOL!

  11. Happy Birthday, Nick!

    Paul, are you from the 1800s or what? I mean, who says “quaffing” anymore?
