"We are routinely challenged to provide workouts for individuals with little workout experience and very limited resources." - Greg Glassman
In this final episode of the exercise series, Lisa steps out of theory and into lived experience — sharing a personal essay written during her senior year of college. Titled “Inside the Box,” the piece chronicles one intense day inside a CrossFit gym. Topics Include:CrossFit Exercise EnthusiastsCommunityPersonal Transformation[1:05] Lisa explains her intention to wrap up the conversation on exercise by sharing a personal essay she wrote 10 years ago, rather than continuing with her own thoughts, theories, and ideas on the subject. Lisa notes it was a paper written for an investigative journalism class in her senior year of college in 2015. She mentions it is optional reading in the group coaching program's exercise module. The essay, “Inside the Box,” details one day of a CrossFit workout. Lisa describes the workout emphasizing the extreme intensity and challenge.[4:52] Lisa describes the physical environment of the CrossFit gym, referred to as a “box,” as a space dedicated to transforming bodies and minds. The gym's layout includes workout equipment like kettlebells, medicine balls, and free weights on one wall, and rowing machines and pull-up bars on the other. A whiteboard advertises CrossFit as an “anti-aging drug” with side effects including stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, coordination, balance, accuracy, and community.[8:12] Lisa describes the official CrossFit philosophy, established by Greg Glassman in 2000, aims for overall improvement in all capacities rather than specialization. Lisa talks about the program's controversial reputation due to injuries, hospitalizations, and deaths, with rhabdomyolysis being a known repercussion. [11:57] Lisa recounts her participation in a highly encouraged fundamentals class, designed to teach prospective athletes “how to walk before learning how to run.” With a personal trainer, she learned proper form for deadlifts, presses, squats, snatches, and thrusters using a 15-pound training bar, before graduating to join the regular class.[19:05] Lisa highlights the strong sense of community, mutual support, and camaraderie. She describes how finished athletes support those still working out and how CrossFitters are attracted to the atmosphere, community, camaraderie, and sense of belonging, [23:42] Lisa recounts her lifelong dread of gym class and the mile run, starting her fitness journey at 302 pounds at her first Jenny Craig appointment, aiming to halve her body weight. Lisa describes months of diverse exercises and particularly challenging interval training on the treadmill with a stern trainer. She details the physical discomfort and her internal struggle. Lisa describes the mindset shift from resistance to a “bring-it-bitch attitude,” where temporary suffering became an indication of pushing limits, resulting in feelings of power, strength, achievement, and triumph, and feeling invincible. Lisa explains why CrossFit's intensity, addiction, and cult-like following do not surprise her.[41:18] Lisa clarifies that her essay reflects her personal experience and investigation. She emphasizes that CrossFit varies greatly depending on the gym (“box”) and its community, and her experience may not be universal for all CrossFit participants. Lisa ends the series by thanking all of her listeners for going on the journey with her.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal PromptsLeave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form Email Lisa: lisa@lisaschlosberg.comOut of the Cave Merch - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's SocialsInstagram Facebook YouTubeReclaiming Peace With Food Retreat at the Omega Institute - September 7-12, 2025

Rob breaks down the 357 strength progression, a training method that combines strength training with short work capacity efforts. He explains its origins, design, and practical applications, as well as the results of a study comparing it to other training methods. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of 357 in improving both strength and endurance, making it suitable for various athletes. Check MTI's 357 Strength Training Plan Takeaways 357 is a unique strength progression that combines strength training with work capacity. The method was influenced by various coaching philosophies, including those from Louis Simmons and Greg Glassman. The structure of 357 includes a 1RM lift, followed by a percentage-based lift, and a work capacity event. The work capacity events are designed to enhance hormonal response and improve overall fitness. A study showed that 357 matched strength gains of traditional methods while improving endurance. The program is designed to be fun and engaging for athletes. Weekly training can be structured to include total, lower, and upper body lifts. The ideal cycle duration for strength emphasis is around four to five weeks. 357 is suitable for athletes looking to improve both strength and work capacity. The program has remained consistent and effective over the years. ----more---- Mountain Tactical Institute Home Check out the MTI Athlete Team Apply to be a Paid MTI Athlete MTI's Daily Programming Streams

"We've long desired to offer a fitness competition consistent with our fitness model (See CrossFit Journal October 2002, “What is Fitness?”) and have found the task fraught with difficulties." - Greg Glassman

One of the really cool things about doing what I do is you get to meet and sometimes talk with people who become intellectual heroes to me. I don't have very many intellectual heroes because I try not to have human heroes, but intellectually speaking, Greg Glassman, founder, former CEO of CrossFit, is that to me. This is a guy who observed in a multi-billion dollar industry of fitness, no one could actually say what fitness meant. So, he put this amazing scientific mind with which God has gifted him to work and figured out how would you define fitness and then how would you achieve it. People who don't understand the basis of CrossFit don't understand that that's the way it disrupted the fitness industry by actually defining the thing people were seeking.Wisdom Nutrition https://trywisdomnow.com/toddStock up on Wisdom for 33% off plus free shipping.

On today's episode we go over the literal definition of CrossFit, defined by the founder, Greg Glassman. We also go over Glassman's definition of fitness, which is considered (by many CrossFitters) as one of the best definitions the term "fitness" has ever received. Artist - The Script Song - Rain
On this episode James and Miguel discuss Greg Glassman's "100 Words of Fitness", the Albany CrossFit Combine, Miguel's journey into Gymnastics, James's Swim meet, and being a multi-sport athlete.
Glassman on CrossFit, Fitness Predictions, and Fixing America's Broken Scientific ProcessGreg Glassman is the founder and former CEO of CrossFit. This is the second part of an interview we did with him. First one really focusing on CrossFit, the death of one of the athletes in a drowning event. Very tragic as if you saw the first interview really hit Greg hard that that happened. We also sat down though with a purpose and that was to discuss the broken nature of science in America. The scientific process has been perverted and destroyed by people who seek to use it for profit.(...) Greg of course made a huge profit with the scientific mind in CrossFit by defining fitness and then going about achieving fitness. But he made some predictions. Greg predicted that his process constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity, which will increase your work capacity abroad across broad time and modal spectrums would result in creating athletes who could go squat 500 pounds and then turn around and run a sub five minute mile that was unheard of. People said you're insane. You can't do it. He predicted that this form of exercise would reverse type 2 diabetes and it did. He has the mind of a scientist and you know what he says doesn't work in science anymore? Peer reviewed papers. He has one thing in mind in terms of fixing science which is to show people something called a P value to teach it to feature it and to honor it.Alan's Soaps https://www.alansartisansoaps.comUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/toddStart your journey to better health with MassZymes.

In this episode of the Evolution of Medicine podcast, James Maskell speaks with Emily Kaplan of the Broken Science Initiative. They dive deep into the flaws of modern science, particularly in the context of medicine, and discuss how these issues contribute to the chronic disease epidemic.

Emily Kaplan also differentiates medicine and public health, criticizing the latter as being more about political consensus than clinical significance, leading to flawed public health policies. Tune in for a conversation that explores: Why there has been a decline in moral obligation to patients in hospital settings The loss of physician authority and how that impacts patients Flawed research and corruption in science Critiques of public health How CrossFit can help reverse the chronic disease epidemic. And much more! This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deep issues within the scientific community and how they impact public health and medicine.

Brothers Dick and Peter Dreissigacker used their experience as Olympic-level rowers to build a rowing machine that captured the sensation of being on the water. Initially made of bicycle parts in a Vermont barn, the machines had a limited market at first: mostly rowing clubs and schools that competed in the sport. But in the 2000's, business began to take off when Greg Glassman, the founder of Crossfit, began putting the machines into his gyms. Today Concept2 sells rowing machines to thousands of gyms and teams around the world, plus rowers, stationary bikes and skiing machines for people who train at home.This episode was produced by J.C.

The news exploded while lives on air. We talk a swing a miss from Hiller, Mal annouces she's out for another season and what a better warm up really is in CrossFit. Written by Greg Glassman, Published April 2003 "In commercial gyms everywhere, warming up constitutes little more than spending fifteen or twenty minutes on a bike, treadmill, or stair climber. While better than nothing, this approach to warming up is largely a waste of time in that it will not improve flexibility, does not involve the whole body or major functional movements, misses an ideal opportunity for reinforcing and practicing some critical exercises, and poorly prepares an athlete for rigorous athletic training." - Greg Glassman

Written by Greg Glassman, Published March 2003 "It is CrossFit's contention that cops and soldiers are professional athletes. In fact, we argue that the physical preparedness required of military combat - and by extension law enforcement - matches and regularly surpasses that required of Olympic athletes." - Greg Glassman
Written by Greg Glassman, Published March 2003 "The push-up, long a favorite among junior high school P.E. teachers and Marine Corps drill instructors, is for many, more closely associated with punishment than anything else. Though common to group exercise programs, its use in serious strength and conditioning regimens is infrequent." - Greg Glassman
Written by Greg Glassman, Published 2003 "Our kids and our seniors squat, deadlift, push-press, push-jerk, clean and jerk, snatch, pull-up, dip, push-up, bench press, back/hip extend, sit-up, and rope climb. Less weight, fewer reps, more rest, whatever is required to allow exposure to the movements at a challenging but tolerable and intensity is all that is needed to accommodate most special needs."

Talk about being in two-worlds . . . I was honored to attend the Broken Science Initiative's meeting in conservative Aromas, California last weekend. Greg Glassman, the Founder and former CEO of CrossFit started the Initiative to help rescue the practice of scientific rigor from con artists and politicians. This particular meeting was held on the Castro family Ranch. Known in CrossFit communities simply as “The Ranch”, it where the first CrossFit Games were held in 2008. It was a joy for me to get to see the Ranch, talk with the Castro brothers, meet the many cops and former elite military there and watch Greg and Dr. William Briggs talk about fixing broken science. But, it was what I observed off the Ranch that informs this Episode. While Aromas is conservative and hard-working, I spent most of my time in Santa Cruz, a weekend get-away spot for many San Francisco liberals. Believe it or not. I encountered masked-people still terrified of the unmasked, saw people obviously startled by my beard and general looks, and found myself doing my best job of being polite while confronting a woman who called our troops “moronic, gun-toting rednecks.” It was at the airport, though, where the fracture in our society became so clear and on the plane back where God convicted me. At the Ranch, on the base “the Hill”, anyone who is a fan of the sport knows about the Hill. Greg Glassman begins his address. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 24:30-34 I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.Episode 882 Links:The Broken Science InitiativeThe CrossFit Games - Men's Ranch Mini ChipperExquisitely Boredby Pete Townshend The tissue box is emptyNo coffee for my creamDogs howl in the alleyCrazy women screamSome kids shout from their pick up truckThey're stoned on life and beerFifty radios playing in this streetBut I'm still hardly hereExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the restWhen the sun shines things'll get movingYou feel close to the starsThere are good times walking in LagunaBut it rains in my heartThe peasants here are starvingThey look out there barrels out in spacePray TV looks like pay TV to meIt's just a curse on the human raceI take a drive up to L.A.In my gas guzzling limousineThere's a whole lot of crazy people up thereLiving out a life in sweet ennuiExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the restWhen the sun shines things'll get movingYou feel close to the starsThere are good times walking in LagunaBut it rains in my heartExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the rest4Patriots https://4patriots.com Protect your family with Food kits, solar generators and more at 4Patriots.
