Athlete’s Forum
Written by C.J. Martin
I had a chance to hang out with my buddy Dutch Lowy in Calgary over the weekend (more on that later, but the teaser is, the OPT Coaching Certification Program surpassed my high expectations – amazing weekend). While we were there he turned me on to a super cool new resource – The Athlete’s Forum. In the words of Brian Wilson, owner of Potomac CrossFit and creator of Athlete’s Forum:
“The Athlete’s Forum was founded on a simple idea: Create a place where knowledgeable owners, coaches, and athletes (our presenters) can connect with those anxious to learn (our attendees).”
This is a phenomenal idea, and the Athlete’s Forum has already pulled in some great coaches to speak on different issues – including Dutch, Rob Orlando (“Incorporating Strongman Training with CrossFit”) and Melissa Urban and Dallas Hartwig (“Whole 9 Nutrition Workshop”).
Dutch is presenting on Coaching Development tomorrow, Thursday, February 24 at 5:00 p.m. PST. I’ll be listening in and participating in the forum as well. If you’re looking for additional resources or perspectives on your own coaching, nutrition or training, sign up and join us on the forum.
AB workouts! Do you think Sage will mind if I hit two workouts in one day?
I don’t remember Dutch having hair.
Hey Everyone,
I’m out in Jacksonville for the week and missing Invictus like crazy. I checked out Snax’ gym yesterday, CF West Jax, and had a great workout. He’s got a great spot right across from NAS Jax. You should definitely check it out.
I’m about to leave the hotel and go represent Invictus at CF Southside (Nick’s recommendation). It’s been interesting to see how the other half lives. We’ll see how CFSS stacks up to Invictus.

I thought I was looking at today’s post and I wasn’t, but I am going to post this comment twice in response to M’s big “debate” post yesterday. I just want people to remember why it is that they train at InVictus…and just a few other common sense things that they may forget from time to time.
Here’s a few thoughts aspiring cavemen…Trust your Coaching Crew at Invictus, they get paid the big bucks to know their stuff and they won’t steer you wrong…
Work Hard/Don’t complain about WOD’s/Take care of your hands/Roll out your body/Show up ready to breath fire and build muscle/Stuff your face with quality food/Wash it down with H20/ICE!!! down your sore spots/Study what you do and take notes/Implement your new knowledge/Take it a day at a time/Rest/Repeat/Commit
…And then someday soon you will earn your spear and your knife so that you can run with the big dogs…
I like the ICE!!! tip.
Nice Lacie!
