Ancestral Health Symposium 2011 Presentation

In all the posting I've done about yoked shins and motor learning, I failed to post the presentation that Keith and I had gone to California to perform live and uncut! We didn't really practice, unless you call EE TV practice. In spite of this I think it went off well and we received great … Continue reading Ancestral Health Symposium 2011 Presentation →

Product Review: Tibia Dorsi Machine

It is often stated in strength training: get good at the big movements and you won't have to worry so much about the small movements. This is due to the indirect effect of strength training: doing a barbell squat takes strong abs, arms, back, stomach...oh, and strong legs too! This is also why you might … Continue reading Product Review: Tibia Dorsi Machine →

What this (rather simple) device allows me to do is increase the resistance against which I breath. Over time I increase the … Continue reading Locomotive Breath →

There Are No Shortcuts

I hate traffic. Not that I think anyone in the world actually *likes* being traffic (which is the case, as opposed to being stuck "in" traffic), but I think some people handle it better than others. Traffic used to irritate me to the point of intense rage. I would quickly find myself in a very … Continue reading There Are No Shortcuts →

Ancestral Health Symposium 2011

There are approximately a gajillion posts about this event (hell, just crank through the twitter hashtag #ahs2011) but I thought I should throw my 2 cents in. First, I'd like to show you the greatest thing I've ever seen: Right in the fat of the UCLA campus no less. Keith and I presented with what … Continue reading Ancestral Health Symposium 2011 →
