by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

Andre did his own thing while everyone else did a circuit of lat pulldowns, leg extensions, tricep push downs, etc. Andre was in the corner with his squat rack, attacking his barbell with a ferocious … [Read more...]

Crossfit Football, Teen Athletes, Heavy MetCons & Farm Boy Strength

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

As you know, last Saturday was 9-11. I drove up to Ct to meet with John Welbourn, former NFL athlete and creator of CrossFit Football. I remember 9-11-01 as if it were this morning. I was a 4th year Phys. Ed. teacher and the librarian was listening to the morning news, as she always did. They were unsure of what happened (the news that is) and thought perhaps two planes collided. Parents were picking up kids early from school and the panic was felt everywhere. I spent my afternoon at the park … [Read more...]
