 THE CAVE MAN DIET is a diet plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various human species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era  . A period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture. In common usage, such terms as the "Paleolithic diet" also refer to the actual "ancestral human diet" . Centered on commonly available modern foods, the "contemporary" Paleolithic diet consists mainly of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.



I believe this Pyramid, and Chart  might answer some questions about the PALEO DIET. Good Luck for thoose who choose to tackle this challenge .  I will be posting more info on paleo to aid your own research on this great Diet . . .

5 Rounds Of 250 M Row, 10 Front Squats, 15 Sit Ups, 20 Box Jumps

Rx 135/95
Anthony doing what He does best




Below is a list of ten items I believe are essential in building a home gym .
I took into consideration price, effectiveness, and versatility .


"budget" TOP TEN HOME GYM
  1. Abb Matt  - http://abmat.net/  and only $29.95
  2. Pull Up Bar - http://www.performbetter.com/detail.aspx?ID=5519 , or better yet go home made .
  3. Foam Roller - http://www.performbetter.com/detail.aspx_Q_ID_E_4918 , Recover faster, and only 11 bucks! Do your acheee muscles a favor and perform maintenance on yourself !
  4. Iron Woody Band - http://ironwoodyfitness.com/fitness-bands.php for your pull ups stretches, and 100'z of other exercises . 
  5. Kettle Bell -http://functionalequipment.com I know, This one can be costly but can be a great investment . You know it will be around swinging for the next decade so it will pay itself off over time, plus it makes you home gym look official.
  6. Rings -  Such versatility, from flexibility to muscle ups, a must have! www.theg2scart.com has em for $59 
7. Home Made Box/Parelletes, and Sand Bag - A great "do it yourself project" find instructions to all on the crossfit journal,and even links on their message boards
8. Used Barbell and weights - craigslist, garage sales, playitagain sports, wherever but don't buy em new !
9. jump rope - the most inexpensive cardio tool I know
10. Sledge Hammer/Tire - Home depot has hammers for $19.95, and tires are free everywhere . You can beat the tire with the hammer, and you can flip your tire over till you cant breath anymore .
I believe if you budget right, and depending on the home made stuff which should be cheap, you should be able to put that top ten together for under 600 bucks  . Some will read this and think "dang I could almost get a treadmill at costco for a lil more", and yet others will read this and think "Not bad for all the fitness I'm gonna get,not like my friend George who went out and bought a treadmill, what an idiot "
If You have the KNOWLEDGE (knowledge avail. free at crossfit.com) then with the list above the possibility's are endless It can take you to an excellent fitness level, one that could easily surpass that of an avg. Globo Gym goer . Use bodyweight movements,the road to run and be creative, and you wont need a gym at all, just a garage and a dedicated mind....
