Taking the Best that She Can Dish Out
“Fran” reared her ugly head a couple of weeks ago and the ARCFit crew let her know that they weren’t going to be pushed around. Well, at least they were going to push back. Here is a video highlighting some of the action from that day, including many first time “Fran” attempts by the likes [...]
A Little Rest
Thought I’d keep the “little” theme rolling for one more day. Recently Rambo posted this comment on the blog: “Something funny just happened. I accidentally dropped my Omega-3 fish-oil supplement in my wine glass (appropriately filled, of course). While the episode does present an irony of sorts, I choose to view it as a good [...]
A Little Encouragment
Nate pushes Machine Mike to finish his last 10 burpees during yesterday’s “Filthy 50″ WOD.

The California Kid!
I was fortunate enough to be cage-side on Sunday evening to watch the “California Kid”, Urijah Faber, dismantle Raphael Assuncao in his quest to regain the WEC featherweight title. I have to give props to my fellow UC Davis Aggie alum, he is a beast inside the cage and a definite fan favorite. Those of [...]
