"The World is a book, and those who do not travel only read a page"
I just finished reading bjjglobetrotter and it was a great book, I would even consider it to be in the top ten all time books I've read. What I learned most from the book was to get out and try new things and travel, even if it's to a new gym down the street. Well it just so happens that I also had my first (hopefully of many) Judo field trips this weekend to Mayo Quanchi Judo and Wrestling Club in RI. It was a great visit and I met a bunch of really good Judo players.

I'm a big fan of Roy "Big Country" Nelson..here's why:
Roy Nelson doesn't look like the typical MMA fighter, he's lacking 6-pack abs, tattoos, a shitty cocky attitude and that's why I like him. Nelson has a BJJ Black Belt from Renzo Gracie and is 18-7 in MMA fights. Not to mention he's rocking a kick ass Beard and Mullet.

Mass Made Simple
So I decided to take a break from Military Athlete and attempt the 6-week Mass Made Simple program by Dan John. This is a tough program to finish, by that I mean to last 6-weeks. It is basically a high-rep Back Squat Program with assistance work thrown in. By high-rep I mean 1 set of 50 reps at 205lbs during week 6. Yeah Buddy Here We Go.....

31st Annual Chaves Memorial Judo Tournament
The Chaves Judo Tournament was my first Judo Tournament since I was 15 and that makes it pretty much my first one. It was held at St John's Prep School in Danvers, MA. Sick campus. Well I was expecting to fight White to Blue belts, but that wasn't the case. I was the lone white belt in the Brown and Black belt division. I one my first match, beating a brown belt with an Ippon throw. Then I proceed to have a few teachable moments with the Black Belts I fought. It was a great learning experience.
This was a very quick Teachable Moment from a Black Belt, who I believe went 6-0 on the day

From: Rob Shaul (Military Athlete)
THE BURDEN OF CONSTANT FITNESS
I was first introduced to "The Burden of Constant Fitness" by a Green Beret officer 3-4 years ago. Ben explained that soldiers never had the opportunity to be out of shape. Their work required that they always be fit, and this "constant" fitness can easily become a "burden" as soldiers struggle to not incur overuse injuries and/or plateau due to doing the same training every day. Also, it's a challenge to keep things interesting.
One of the huge strengths about our Operator Sessions is that myself and my lab rats do the same sessions you do. I do them two weeks ahead, and my lab rats, one week ahead of what's published on the site.
I too, have this "burden of constant fitness," and it's influenced the programming in positive ways. The fitness demands of soldiers, and other industrial/hybrid athletes require they have high relative strength, high work capacity, stamina for long events or multiple short events over a long day, and durability for a long career.
Through Fluid Perodization, we program accordingly as we cycle through these different fitness attributes. Fluid Periodization not only trains and builds strength, work capacity, stamina and durability simultaneously, but it also keeps things interesting for the athletes who do the sessions 4-5 days/week. We do just enough of the same thing to draw in our interest, but not enough to garner boredom and stagnation.
The goal is to foster the idea that fitness for the soldier should be a professional habit. You aim for job appropriate fitness not so you can max the APFT or another fitness evaluation, but because you're a professional athlete. Fitness is safety, mission accomplishment, respect to your team.
We aim to balance this professional habit, with the reality of having to go to the gym everyday and lace 'em up. I've had to ensure the programming is efficient and effective, but also interesting, and sometimes, just darn fun.
We aim to unload a little of the "burden."

October Paleo Challenge
We are looking to do an October Paleo Challenge, still hammering out details, cheat penalties, etc.
Details So Far:
Start Date: Oct 1st
End Date: Oct 30th
Post either daily or weekly food logs in Comments section of Darwin page
Cheat Penalties will be issued with monetary fines that will go into the General Fund Pot
Honor System ..of course is in effect
Here is a Quick Paleo Start Guide from Robb Wolf:
1. Clean out the Pantry
2. Go shopping
3. Cook!
4. Go for a walk
5. Sleep!
1. Clean out the Pantry
We do not have self-control. PLAN AHEAD! Don’t have tempting foods in the house. Remove the bread,
rice, pasta, cookies, crackers, puddings, ice cream, waffles, juice, sodas, cereals, oatmeal, artificial
sweeteners, yogurt, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, canned soups, apple sauce, noodles…all refined,
packaged foods. Bag it all up, take it to a food bank or homeless shelter. No, the kids do NOT need
crackers and Goldfish. They might actually be healthier if YOU are healthier!
2. Go shopping
Now it’s time to fill your cupboards with food worth eating.
Protein.
Ideally these options are grass fed or wild caught. If you cannot find those should you eat a bagel? No!
Conventional options are fine. Beans and rice do NOT count.
Land: Pork, beef, lamb.
Sea: Trout, salmon, shrimp, crab. You know…fishy type stuff!
Air: Chicken, turkey, duck, ostrich. I know, ostrich is flightless don’t get cheeky.
Round things out with some good quality bacon, omega-3 enriched eggs and some items like chickenapple
sausage to help you with breakfast on busy days.
Veggies.
Ideally these are local and organic, but again, this should not be a deal breaker. Our local mega-food
chain actually has the best produce outside of the farmers market, and at an amazing price. Shop with
the season, which typically means what is on sale. Mix up the colors.
Fruit.
Limit fruit to 1 serving per day if fat loss is your goal. A serving is not a whole watermelon. If you want
to screw things up and not make progress, eat all the fruit you want, it’s your nickel, ride the ride as
you like. In order of preference: Berries, melons, citrus, apples, pears. Bananas, papayas and mangoes
are great for athletes post workout but dodgy for folks who want to lose weight.
Fats.
Olive oil (extra virgin) coconut, avocado (oil and whole), macadamia (whole and oil), almonds, walnuts.
If fat loss is a goal limit nuts to 1-2 oz. per day.
Odds & Ends.
Marinara sauce, herbs, spices-curry powder, garlic, ginger, cilantro, garam massala, chili powder, black
pepper, lemon zest, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, and basil. Get at least 20 herbs and spices to
keep your cooking lively. Stock up on espresso, teas and mineral water as these are your beverages of choice.
3. Cook!
The majority of your meals look something like this:
• 4-8 oz of lean protein such as chicken, lean beef, turkey, pork loin or seafood.
• Several servings of vegetables, either raw, steamed, or lightly cooked.
• Finally, round out the meal with good fats from Avocado, olive oil or a handful of un-salted nuts
such as almonds, pecans, macadamias or walnuts.
Keypoints:
• Protein every meal
• 3-4 meals per day
• Limit fruit to 1 serving if fat loss is a goal
• Limit nuts to 1-2 oz if fat loss is a goal
• Beverages are coffee, tea, minearal water. Unsweetened, this includes stevia.
4. Go for a Walk!
Get outside and move. Gauge your fitness level and act accordingly. If you need help, find a trainer or coach.
5. Sleep!
Black out your room. No, REALLY black out your room. No LED lights from alarm clocks, fire alarms,
TV’s etc. Do not watch TV or check email for at least 1 hour before bed. Go to bed early, get at least 8-
9 hrs of sleep. You should wake up without an alarm, feeling refreshed.

Europa 2012
Alright, Europa 2012 is in the books...I had a great time and I was going to do a meet write up, but Pete did a great job writing up his performance on FB...."Another year, another Europa in the books. Finished my day with a 615 squat (45 pound pr), 425 bench (25 pound pr), and a 570 pull (25 pound pr) for a 1610 total. thanks to everyone from refuge, all of whom had awesome days as well, for being the best team and training environment around and to joe and nick t for all the help, without everyone of you guys I wouldn't be able to continue getting better and smashing bigger and bigger pr's. Now I rest up and then get back to the drawing board because while I am happy I will never be satisfied". Great Job Pete
As for me, I had a good time at the meet and did better then I expected with my groin injury. I was redligthed my first two squats for depth, The weight felt light, but I'm thinking the groin subconsciously made me puss out a little, so I came away with just my opener. I went 3 for 3 on bench with a meet PR and I hit a 365lbs DL on my 2nd attempt and declined my 3rd.
I've been doing the Military Athlete Operator Sessions and I really like the programing...but right now I need to set some new goal and drive on.

Here we go.........
Here we Go.......Europa is this weekend, rumor has it Pete Skippy is going to be putting up big numbers, I'm still nursing a groin injury, but I'm still going to compete and I'm going to shoot for the best numbers I can put up...I'm still in my "rebuilding" phase and its going well...I switched from 5/3/1 to Military Athlete Big 24 program. After completing the Big 24 program, I went directly into the Military Athlete Operator Sessions. I like them so far and they are a kick in the balls. The next post will be a Meet recap from Europa.
Also I met a local owner of a Diner, who is in his mid 50s and could close the #3 CoC no problem, thats pretty cool.

Time to Rebuild
It's a time for change at Darwin Barbell Club, we've had some non lifting related injuries and some injuries that were probably indirectly related to lifting (mainly NOT stretching and losing mobility).
So it's time to refocus and get back to competing and kicking ass.
I for one messed my back up by not properly stretching and getting super tight in the groin/ IT band area and as a result I could not lift at the Relentless Weightinglifting Meet this past weekend and that pissed me off.
As of late most of use here at the FOB have been doing the Wendler 5/3/1 program and I will also continue with it but I will be taking a different approach to training that I also got from Jim Wendler:
(Rehab Program)
* Lifting: 2 days/week (5/3/1 Squat/Bench and DL/Press)
* Hard conditioning (this includes hill sprints, strongman and sled work): 2 days/week
*Intensive stretching/mobility sessions: 2 days/week
