REST 130116

As I dive deeper into Crossfit and Oly I tend to spend more time searching for blogs and watching YouTube videos and now even listening to internet radio casts about all sorts of topics involved in training.  I follow an ever growing number of strength related individuals on Facebook and Twitter as well.  For those just as interested in continuing to learn I have thrown down some of the sites I check on a daily basis, multiple times a day, most of the time too often.

First and foremost is The Outlaw Way.  Right or wrong, I am hooked and enjoy the programming and language of Rudy.

Lift Big Eat Big is a site that encompasses all types of strength training from Strong Men to Crossfit but more towards the power lifts.  Great videos for pulling heavy deadlifts.  Helps that the main athlete is a big ginger.  They have a site and a Facebook.

Recently I have become more intrigued by the Olympic lifts and have followed the following things on Facebook and Twitter.

MDUSA is the home training location at the moment for Olympic hopeful Jon North, an American Open Gold Medalist.  The guy has a way bigger ego than me and throws up more weight.  How could I not listen to what this guy has to say.  His brand is Attitude Nation with a saying Slam Bars, Kill PRs.  His radio show is awesome with Glenn Pendlay, that name should sound somewhat familiar, and his videos are great too.  I do still watch the Russian, Klokov, but I have to represent the great U.S.A.  Thanks again Ty for protecting our country.

A lot of the blogs and videos I share on Facebook come from Catalyst Athletics in California.  Detailed, great information.  Enough said.

I also follow a few other individual blogs.  A few female Crossfitters top that list and you can search around for them.  Most who read this will know my favorite.  Besides Jon North, really the only other male blog I follow is Spencer Arnold, Outlaw Lifting Specialist, American Open Gold Medalist.  Seems like every post he throws up tends to focus on a part of the Oly lift I am struggling on and he keeps it in such easy vocab.  Maybe I will meet these guys in Dallas come December.

The Twitter account is populated with more Crossfitters and Oly specialists.  If you don't have a Twatter, don't get one for these guys 140 character thoughts but if you do you may as well follow these people:  Jon North, Rich Froning (Hilary Froning), Lindsey Smith, Dan Bailey, Julie Foucher,  Elisabeth Akinwale, Katie Hogan, the Crossfit Journal, and Kenny Powers.
