"If you want to take the wind out of the sails, 
you shut the cow bells up and get some home runs. 
That will do it - - expect in Citizens Bank Park. 
If you hit enough there, they ring a bell. They ring the Liberty Bell."

A congratulations to the Phillies for winning the NL pennant. 
America's pastime bonds family, friends, and the community. 
When I was a kid my father took me all over to see baseball games, to get autographs, and got me to love the Phillies. Take this time in October to reflect on how you got to learn to love the game and enjoy with the ones close to you.
Thanks Pop!

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, , flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or Six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports . - - Coach Greg Glassman, Crossfit Founder.
