For those of you who don't know, this weekend is the start of The Crossfit Games Regionals, it's the last qualifying stage before the Finals in LA in July and where the best people from the Open in each region throw down.

It's kind of a big deal.

Over the next few weekends various regions across the world will put forward their best competitors. It's a bit like the Hunger Games meets The Olympic Games.

This weekend is special though as Samantha Briggs, friend of CrossFit Cardiff is competing. Sam has trained at our box many times and was lucky enough to go on and win the entire Crossfit Games a couple of years ago. She is now living in America though so is no longer part of the European Region, but we will still be watching her compete this weekend.

To celebrate this festival of Crossfit, The Paleo Grind will be showing the regionals on TV each Friday Evening and Saturday & Sunday morning at the box (time zones permitting). Come down, train and then watch the best in the world compete!

Nice to see that coffee is no longer being hated on in the press, but they still fail to differentiate between the vast range of quality encompassed under the 'coffee' headline. If you are drinking freeze-dried spoon in and add hot water coffee, this will not help you, and may in fact harm you. Even the freshly ground coffee that most chain coffee shops offer is still made from coffee beans roasted months ago. If you want the health benefits from coffee then be sure to only drink freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee.

When the nation's top nutrition panel did something it had never done before: weigh in on whether people should be drinking coffee. What it had to say is pretty surprising.

To all our friends at Reebok CrossFit Cardiff, the Open starts three weeks tomorrow. If anyone from our box qualifies for Regionals in Copenhagen then we will cover the cost of your flight. It won't be easy, in fact it will be a monumental achievement, but we managed it last year, so get after it guys.

The road to the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games starts with the worldwide Open. Register here: https://games.crossfit.com/competition The CrossFit Games -- (http:...

There is no more doubting long-standing myths that mainstream nutrition adopted as truths due to poorly designed and corrupt scientific studies. On behalf of public health regulators -- doctors, nutritionists and many other health experts have relied on this misinformation to guide millions with fal…
