Happy Friday, #9Nation!

• The 2018 CrossFit Games are just around the corner, kicking off August 1! We're Netflixing the documentary of last year's Games: The Redeemed and The Dominant. Who do you think will claim the title of Fittest Man and Woman On Earth this year?

• Being naked is cool and all... but notat the gym. Save it for at home even if it is a "judgement free zone".

• Who wants to heat up the kitchen during this time of year? Grill these paleo barbecue chicken and bacon skewers!

• Book recommendation: Essentialismby Greg McKeown.Coach Dane just finished it up and says he's already applied the lessons on several occasions this week alone.

• Does this mean that bread is Paleo? Maybe not, but apparently humans invented "baking" much earlier than previously thought. Check out this article about some very, very old bread.
