The absorbing, definitive account of CrossFit's origins, its explosive grassroots growth, and its emergence as a global phenomenon.
One of the most illuminating books ever on a sports subculture, Learning to Breathe Fire combines vivid sports writing with a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human. In the book, veteran journalist J.C. Herz explains the science of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die. The story traces CrossFit's rise, from a single underground gym in Santa Cruz to its adoption as the workout of choice for elite special forces, firefighters and cops, to its popularity as the go-to fitness routine for regular Joes and Janes. Especially riveting is Herz's description of The CrossFit Games, which begin as an informal throw-down on a California ranch and evolve into a televised global proving ground for the fittest men and women on Earth, as well as hundreds of thousands of lesser mortals. In her portrayal of the sport's star athletes, its passionate coaches and its "chief armorer," Rogue Fitness, Herz powerfully evokes the uniqueness of a fitness culture that cultivates primal fierceness in average people. And in the shared ordeal of an all-consuming workout, she unearths the ritual intensity that's been with us since humans invented sports, showing us how, on a deep level, we're all tribal hunters and first responders, waiting for the signal to go all-out.Binding Type: Paperback

Great functional printer
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
This is a great basic printer for my office. We have a higher model in our main floor office but it is older. The setup is fast and easy and it prints well. I set it up right from my phone. The picture quality is great and it prints quickly. It is so convenient and was the right price for what I need.

Seems to be working perfectly. Battery is a little meh, small scratches but nothing that effected the screen.It'll be perfect for my child. It'd be in excellent condition if the battery were better. Worth the 100 bucks.

Great tablet
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Size: Wi-Fi, Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Size: Wi-Fi
Honestly I’m actually surprised on how good it works, I was worried that it wasn’t gonna work properly since it’s refurbished but it’s great! It doesn’t lag, the battery lasts long, it’s in great condition. It did have some scratching on the back of the tablet but in my opinion it’s no biggie, with the case it covers it.

Solid Product
Color: Space Gray, Memory Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Size: Wi-Fi
Product is working very well. Only downfall is charging is a bit slow but, that could be related to the charge cord that came with it and not the device itselft.
