Coach Mark Offerdahl

Another strong week of training is coming to CrossFit Uncommon.

This week we’re building real strength and skill with:

• Squat strength work
• Olympic lifting progressions
• Pull-ups and gymnastics work
• Barbell conditioning
• Engine-building intervals

Some workouts will test your technique.
Some will test your grit.

All of them will make you better.

Let’s get stronger this week.

If your training isn’t making you stronger, healthier, and harder to break, something is off.

This week’s articles all answer the same question from different angles:

What actually helps your body adapt, recover, and last longer?

• How eating a certain way can simplify decisions and stabilize energy
• Why sleep is where strength, hormones, and fat loss actually improve
• What real fitness prepares you for — not just workouts
• Why muscle is one of the strongest predictors of aging well

No hacks.
No trends.
Just principles that make training work.

If you want better results from the effort you’re already putting in, start here.

Only 7 days until registration opens for the CrossFit Open 👀

If you’ve never done the Open before, here’s what most people get wrong:

This isn’t about being elite.
It’s not about winning.
And it’s definitely not just for “advanced” athletes.

The Open is:
• One workout per week
• Fully scaled for all levels
• The most fun and motivating time of the year
• A built-in reason to show up, try hard, and surprise yourself

For newcomers, it’s one of the best ways to start CrossFit.
You train with the community.
You get coached every step of the way.
And you realize pretty quickly… you belong here.

If you’re on the fence — this is your sign.

We’ll coach you.
We’ll scale everything.
And we’ll make sure you have a damn good time doing it.

More details coming soon 👀

When Marcus started, he was struggling with eating out. He travels all day for work and has been consistently eating fast food. He decided that enough was enough when he was playing basketball with his daughter and couldn’t keep up.

Fast forward to today, he has lost 20 lbs and is putting on muscle while feeling like a superhuman, eating only meat and fruits. It’s not just the training. It’s the accountability, the nutrition, and the environment.

We all know it is essential, but did you know all of these benefits, or do you suffer from any of them?

For millions of years, we ate meat—fat and protein, no carbs or fancy combos. Then 10,000 years ago, agriculture flipped us to sicker, fatter selves. Carnivore takes us back: hormones like insulin and leptin align, no calorie fuss. I’ve seen clients thrive effortlessly—evolution’s blueprint still rules!

Lifting builds muscle? Nope—recovery does. Overtraining stalls gains; I’ve seen it kill progress in gym rats. Space workouts by feel—5 days apart works for me now as intensity climbs. Muscle’s performance-driven, and performance needs rest. Clients who rest more grow more—simple math!

Muscle growth isn’t about endless sets—50 years of science says intensity to failure trumps volume. I train clients with one brutal set (5-30 slow reps) on big lifts like squats or presses—growth machinery flips on. No fluff, just effort, then rest. Pros overtrain; naturals thrive on this—try it!
