9/9/11 - It's been too long!
Hey guys!
Just wanted to give you a quick update as to what I have been up to. Some of you may or may not know that I decided to go back to school to persue my doctorate in physical therapy. Along with going to school, I am also the Olympic Weightlifting Coach at Windy City CrossFit! Feel free to follow our blog HERE or stop in to class at any time.
We have class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 5:30pm and 7pm, Thursdays at 6pm and 7:30pm, and Saturdays at 9am. $20 for all you can eat olympic lifting!
I also returned to the platform a few weekends ago and qualified for the 2011 American Open which will be on Dec 2-4th in Mobile, Alabama. Here are some vidoes from my lifetime PR performances! Enjoy!

You can also find me at....
Windy City Crossfit in Chicago, IL. We are located in the Ravenswood/North Center neighborhood in a state of the art olympic weightlifting and CrossFit facility. Stacked with Eleiko bars and plates, Safe Strength squat racks, pull up cages the size of Texas, and of course, adequate chalk bowls.
Bring yourself and your "technique" and we will mold you into the true champion that you are! Not into the olympic lifts yet? No problem. I will also be doing personal training tailored to your goals. Give us a call and we can get you started. Ask for Justin at 773-895-1378 and tell him you want to train with Cori!
And remember...Strong is Happy...so stop wasting your time and call us!
(Don't fret - those of you who train with me at Cheetah Gym in Bucktown, I will still be there! This is just in addition to that!)
How much will you squat today?

The "Caveman" Diet
Good Morning Fitness Freaks!
Make sure you pick up a copy of the Red Eye this weekend as I get to say some things about eating Paleo - otherwise known as the "Caveman Diet". The diet is not necessarily for everyone, but the book is a good read. (Main book I followed during Paleo - The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf) It is always good to inform yourself on many different types of eating. I challenge you to read books and articles that you agree with, that you disagree with, and that seem far out. The more you know, the easier it is to find a nutritional program that will work for you.
Here is a list of books that need to be on your "to read" list (from multiple points of view):
*The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf
*The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson
*Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes
*Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient by Jennifer McLagen
*Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin
*Veganist: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Change the World by Kathy Freston
*Jillian Michaels: Making the Cut
Now you can spend these dreary, rainy, Chicago days reading nutritional books and getting pumped up for summer! Have a fantastic weekend and lift something heavy!

Good Afternoon Stong People!
Click the link above. My homie Ashley created this recipe and it is not only delicious, but nutritious. Lots of Omega-3's, protein, and vegetables. The spices take a normally 'boring' meal and add zest and flavor that will keep you wanting more of this good food!
Try it out!
