A New Monthly Service Aims to Be the Birchbox of Pot

These days, there's a deluxe subscription for everything. Specialty delivery services allow you to have high-brow organic groceries, a full wardrobe, and even morning coffee curated and delivered to you. And while not carrying your own grocery bag of organic apples home from Trader Joe's tips the scales of lazy versus convenient, a new pot delivery service appeals to the anonymity and luxury of home delivery.

Potbox (yes, like Birchbox... but for pot) aims to take the confusion, frustration, and anxiety out of buying medicinal cannabis online or in-store. The San Francisco-based company offers subscribers with two strains of sun-grown cannabis in quarter-ounce containers, along with two wax-sealed vials containing pre-rolled joints of each strain in a neatly-packaged, once-monthly box. The seven-man team of curators and farmers selects and customizes the box to your preferences, whether you enjoy Indicas, Sativias, or Hybrids most, and will send along official lab results with each product, outlining THC, CBD, and other chemical levels of the pot. The lab results also include information about where your cannabis was grown, its species, and genetics – that way you know exactly what you're smoking.

Although the cannabis is locally and sustainably grown in Santa Cruz, Potbox is attempting to set itself apart from similar delivery services with its classy vials and corked containers. Co-founder and CEO Austin Heap called it "a more sophisticated alternative to the various other 'on-demand' cannabis delivery services that simply aggregate and deliver whatever inventory is currently available at the local dispensaries" in a release. He added that customers can skip "long dispensary lines, the confusion as to what to buy, any questions about freshness... and all the other hoops they must jump through in order to receive their medicine."

That seems to be Potbox's justification for their steep price of $149.95 per box, with no other pricing or quantity options. It's a big difference compared to the cost of a quarter-ounce of high quality weed bought on the street in California, which Price of Weed has listed at about $60. Rival delivery services, such as The Green Cross and Marvina are much closer to this price point, charging between $60 and $70 for a quarter-ounce. But the startup is resting on their laurels of quality, suggesting that in the weed industry, you get what you pay for.

RELATED: But Seriously, Can You Overdose on Pot?

As federal and state legislation continues to lean towards more progressive pot laws, we're likely to see more businesses in the industry offer similar products and encourage more competitive prices. Even Warren Buffet and Snoop Dogg are anticipating major growth in this budding sector of commerce, investing in weed startupssuch as Eaze and Cubic Designs. But until more relaxed laws are passed, the legal options are limited. As of now, Potbox's delivery service only requires that subscribers hold a medical marijuana ID and are residents of California, since the service is currently available in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

WWE Champion Seth Rollins on the Power of CrossFit

On a balmy Tuesday afternoon in early July, WWE World Heavyweight Champ Seth Rollins is milling about Milwaukee's Harris Bradley Center. In just a few hours, he'll take center stage, addressing his ongoing rivalry with "The Beast" Brock Lesnar, which comes to a head when they collide for Rollins' title at this Sunday’sBattleground PPV/WWE Network event. Lesnar, if you’re not familiar, is an impressive specimen. While conceding that one never knows what to expect when butting heads with a battering ram like the former UFC and WWE champion, Rollins is confident he’ll endure and put on one hell of a show. Much of that self-assurance comes from having dropped the dumbbells and devoted himself exclusively to CrossFit, the training-and-lifestyle phenomenon developed by Greg Glassman that incorporates Olympic-worthy lifting into a series of fluid, all-body exercises. He even co-runs a wrestling school in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa, that utilizes CrossFit equipment and technique.

He's also acutely aware of CrossFit's reputation as a cultish trend, but rebuts those assertions by breaking down its common-sense ideology. Though, frankly, his physical form, ability to stay injury-free, and rapid ascent to WWE's top ranks are pretty compelling proof of why the globally minded cardio-and-muscle workout has its advantages. Still not convinced? Good thing, then, that before hitting the ring, Rollins shared more of his insights on CrossFit’s advantages, antiquated training, and staying fit night after night.

How does a CrossFit regimen help reinforce your motivation?For me, there's no other way to train these days. I love the intensity. I think that’s the one thing that separates me from a lot of the other guys in our regimen. I train with intensity and focus. There’s never a day where I’m going through the motions. If I’m doing that, I may as well be taking a day off. And for me, CrossFit takes all the elements of fitness that I want to focus on and mashes them into an intense workout. That helps me stay on track and have fun at the gym, too, which is a big part of wanting to go in there and putting in the work.

Why are CrossFit loyalists typically so outspoken about persuading new converts?Some people call it cultish, but I don't see it that way. The community just helps people push each other, and it manifests into a lifestyle a little bit. It's hard to explain unless you get in there and hang out with a lot of the people. It's such an addicting culture in a good way. You're getting healthier and you have more self-confidence, you’re more social. All around, it creates a better you, and that’s something people want to tell others about. It's why they’re so excited about CrossFit. All those things together make you want to share that with the world. You want everybody to feel as good as you do on a regular basis. 

But if you're more of a loner, can you still participate in CrossFit?It's certainly not a match for everybody. I'm not forcing it on anybody. I'm not that guy. Most of my workouts happen by myself because I travel so much. For someone who enjoys the solitude of working out, that is also an option. You don't have to do CrossFit in a class-based situation. You can definitely get the same intensity of the workout doing it on your own.

RELATED: Hello, My Name is Dwayne Johnson 

How does CrossFit avoid becoming the next fleeting workout trend?The cool thing about CrossFit is it's been around for 15 years. I don't think people know that. And the lifts that are done are not a new type of thing. I think the fact that it's grown so fast, people want to call it a trend, but the principles that it's founded on have been around forever. Its just [CrossFit founder] Greg Glassman decided to put them all together and market it as the sport of fitness. That was the big change.

Much of it does seem like a common-sense approach to physical motion.When you get down to it, what it’s doing is teaching movement patterns and the intuitive patterns we use in our physicality on a daily basis. A power clean is nothing more than a deadlift and a jumping movement, and those are two things you do every day. If you drop something on the ground, bend over to pick it up — that’s a deadlift. If you’re an athlete, you’re gonna jump in some way, so CrossFit teachers patterns that are seen not only in sports but in life. And they do a good job trying to teach these things.

Does CrossFit apply better to wrestling than other sports, given the state of constant movement?That could be the truth, yes. The only experience I have to go off is what I do. I know the New Orleans Saints have started to use CrossFit a little bit. For me, it's tailored specifically for what we do. The intensity level is constant and high, and there's variables you can't foresee in our in-ring action. And having to work at a high level while you're under duress is something we're accustomed to, so training like that really helps us. It carries over very well into the ring.

Had CrossFit essentially become its own separate passion for you?I would say so. Before I discovered CrossFit, I was really just doing regular bodybuilding, didn't understand athletic training and movements. I didn’t even know how to squat, necessarily. I just knew I wanted to get bigger and train for a pump and all that stuff, but I found myself getting hurt a lot, and it was boring. Once I found CrossFit, I started to enjoy fitness, and once my body adapted and I started to become more mobile, it was a game changer as far as injuries were concerned. So it definitely has become a passion of mine. I enjoy being in the gym and sweating and watching other people push themselves. It's nice to have two different passions instead of focusing all your energy on one.

And when you're slightly older and less mobile, will CrossFit be able to adapt to you?The beautiful thing about it is anyone can do it. There’s people in my gym who are upwards of 50 and 60 who are doing CrossFit and are as healthy as they’ve ever been. As I get older and my body wears down a little bit, I'll have to modify what I'm doing, but at the same time, there are some power-lifters well into their 50s who are still pulling 700 pounds. I hope I'll be able to continue that for a long time. The cool thing about CrossFit is the scalability of it.

RELATED: 12 CrossFit Workouts Anyone can Do

Does all of this suggest that pumping iron for its own sake is a permanently dated approach?I think it's a little antiquated, especially considering the evolution of professional wrestling. If you look at the wrestlers in the '80s and '90s compared to what we do today, I think training in that lifestyle is just asking for injuries. Using limited range of motion to move light weights a bunch of times just to get a pump so you're aesthetically pleasing, I feel like you're begging to hurt. In the ring, we move so fast. We take so many more bumps than those guys did, and we do so much more high-risk stuff. We're athletes now. We're not cartoon characters anymore. To do what I do 250–300 nights a year, if I didn't train like this, I wouldn't be able to do what I do at this level. So for me, yes, I think bodybuilding is slowly drifting out as a placeholder for athletic training, and I think, slowly but surely, people are understanding that they have to train functionally to do this well for a long time.

Why Do Men Keep Getting Fatter?

It's widely known that carrying excess pounds increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other serious, even fatal, health conditions. Yet over the past few decades, American men have kept on getting fatter. Today, 71 percent of guys are either overweight or obese. Compare that to 1994, when 61 percent of men fell into this range — or to 1960, when just 49 percent of guys were overweight or obese. 

Even more concerning, men's waistlines are expanding at a faster rate than their body-mass indexes are climbing. A study published in JAMA found that 43 percent of men today have a waist circumference of at least 40 inches, compared to just 37 percent in 1999. The problem with extra chub around the midsection is that it's mostly visceral fat, a deeper, more hazardous type of fat than the subcutaneous flab found elsewhere on your body. According to Dr. Lisa Neff, an endocrinologist at the Northwestern Comprehensive Center for Obesity, visceral fat secretes pro-inflammatory hormones that easily enter the bloodstream and reach vital organs, wreaking havoc on everything from insulin sensitivity to triglyceride levels. These negative effects, in turn, can increase your odds of diabetes and other diseases.

So why do guys keep gaining weight? Neff calls out the usual suspects like larger restaurant portions and wider availability of food leading to many more calories being consumed. Couple that with the huge decrease in physical activity, and the balance of calories in and out has shifted for the worse. But Neff says there are plenty of other factors. "Many medications, including depression and blood-pressure drugs, promote weight gain," she says. "Meanwhile, staying up late and working long hours can affect hunger, fullness, and metabolism, causing men to gain weight."

RELATED: The Ultimate Weight Loss Workout

On top of all that, Neff says many younger men today were born to be fat. "There's now been a whole generation of mothers who were too overweight while pregnant," she explains. "It's fetal programming. Those babies are much more likely to become overweight or have obesity-related diseases than babies born to healthy-weight moms."

The next question is why fat guys stay fat, especially given the incessant messaging about the dangers of obesity and the benefits of nutritious food and exercise. Of course, some dudes don't do a damn thing to help their cause. But many overweight men do try to eat right and work out, yet they still struggle to shed pounds. Why? Neff says our slow-to-evolve brains are partially to blame.

"The brain's weight-regulation center, the hypothalamus, has a weight 'set point' that it tries to keep you within range of," Neff explains. "From an evolutionary perspective, its job is to protect you from starvation, which made sense thousands of years ago when famine was a real threat." If your weight dips below the set point, the hypothalamus sets in motion starvation responses, including a drop in metabolism, which can hinder further weight loss.

Your hypothalamus can really screw you if you pack on extra pounds and keep them on for a while. Neff says your brain will get used to your heavier weight as the new normal and make it the new set point to defend, instead of your previous healthy weight. Then, if you try to get back to your original weight, your hypothalamus will think you're starving.

This is why it's crucial to prevent weight gain in the first place. "It's so important to stay stable as much as you can," Neff says. "Don't just accept weight gain and say, 'Oh well, I'll just lose it after vacation.' There are ways to take off weight once it's on — healthier eating, physical activity — but the brain and body make it extremely tough."

How to Train Like Tour de France Contender Tejay van Garderen

Tejay Van Garderen's favorite cycling workouts

Pro cyclist and Powerbar athlete Tejay van Garderen is America's best hope for a Tour de France champion. That's no stretch. After the first week of this year's race, he sat in second overall, just 12 seconds out of first place. It's also not his first time battling the world's best riders: The Washington native claimed fifth overall at the Tour both last year and in 2012.

RELATED: The Best Bikes at the Tour de France

Van Garderen's strong second-place finish at the Critérium du Dauphiné earlier this year shows that he's in shape for the Tour. But getting a good result at the world's toughest bike race requires your absolute athletic best. We talked to the 26-year-old cyclist about the key workouts and training tricks he used to prep himself for three solid weeks of suffering.

Set Benchmark Tests"If there's one workout I dread it's the test days. You do a one-, five-, or 20-minute test to determine your max power, riding as hard as you can," says van Garderen. The workout is nothing but pure, unadulterated misery, and he says it can also mess with your head if you don't beat your previous wattage bests. Still, this workout helps van Garderen figure out where he's at in his training, and the data it produces tells his coach whether he's ready to push even harder, or whether he needs more recovery time. If you don't have a power meter on your bike, create courses that take roughly one, five, and 20 minutes. Return to them regularly to track progress.

Stage a Fake RaceVan Garderen says that when he's trying to develop fitness early in the season, his favorite workout is to just head out from Nice, France — where he lives and trains in the off-season — and ride mock races. "I have training partners in Nice and we'll pick a few climbs and treat them like a race. My training plan has a lot of structure in it; I do a lot of intervals. But the best way to simulate the efforts of racing is to just get out there and race."

Train to Recover While RacingBike-racing seldom requires a purely sustained effort. Even time-trial courses are punctuated by turns and descents that allow a rider to rest. Van Garderen used this workout to teach his body to recover whenever race pace eases slightly. Ride one minute at a medium-difficulty pace. That effort means you can say a sentence at a time but not much more than that. You should be working and winded but not dying. Follow that minute with 30 seconds in your high V02-max zone. Essentially you should shift from being able to talk in sentences to only being able to say one or two words at a time — a not quite all-out effort. Aim to repeat the two back-to-back efforts without rest for 20 minutes. 

Workout Before Distractions Can Derail YouIn 2013, van Garderen became a father to a baby girl. He says that being a dad hasn't really changed how he trains but it has changed when he trains. "I do have to plan ahead more. I get up and ride early so that I can be back to shower and eat before I need to be on daddy duty," he says. His advice? Carve out training times that no one can interrupt — like when the rest of your house is sleeping.

Practice Attacking the ClimbsVan Garderen will have a lot of competition in the mountains this year, so much of his training has focused on being able to attack repeatedly on climbs. One of his favorite workouts is to find a 20-minute-long climb and do an interval at the base of the climb and then another one at the top. "It starts with this big bang and then there's this big crescendo again at the top," he says, adding that in the middle of the climb you need to be working, not slow-peddling and recovering from the initial effort. "But this is how a lot of the climbs are raced, with an acceleration at the bottom and the top, so it's a good thing to practice."

Stop Hammering Endlessly"I see a lot of amateurs getting into this routine where they go out and they try and hold as high of a power as they can for their entire workout," he says. This can burn a ton of calories, but it's worthless as a training tool. "If you're looking to be a good bike-racer, you need to mix it up and go really hard sometimes and go easy other times. Otherwise you're just training yourself to hold one speed."

Death Cab for Cutie’s Ultrarunner Frontman

When Ben Gibbard isn't on stage performing with his band Death Cab for Cutie, you'll find him in the mountains, on a 20- to 30-mile run. He started using running to replace a heavy drinking habit back in 2008, and has remained sober — and addicted to running — ever since. After finishing the Los Angeles Marathon in 2011, the lead singer took up trail running, adding the miles as well. We talked to Gibbard, who just returned to his hometown of Seattle after from touring for the band's latest release, Kintsugi, about how trail running changed his life and bettered his health, and why just about anyone can conquer an ultra's mileage.  

How did this trail running obsession start?  Growing up in the northwest and spending so many weekends when I was a kid up in Olympic National Park, out in nature, I realized it was something that I had been lacking in my life. That has a lot to do with living in a city and being on the road a lot; you very rarely have a rural or natural environment. If I could make a deal with the devil and be promised one hundred percent perfect running health for the rest of my life in exchange for not touring or something, you know … I might actually take it.

How has that love for trail running trickled into your everyday life?I am speaking with you a day after I was out running down a mountain and rolled my ankle really badly. I am hobbling around the house and my thought is not, "Oh man, we're playing shows in a week…" — it's, "When can I start running again?" I filter a large amount of my enjoyment in life through it, which may be not the most healthy thing, but I just love it that much.

RELATED: The 2015 Trail Race and Ultramarathon Calendar

Coming off of an injury, is there anything you've learned during the healing process?It is a lesson in patience. I say that literally having just bitched to my girlfriend this morning about my ankle, like, "my ankle is so fucked!" One of my superstitions is to never talk about how healthy I have been to other runners. I never talk about what a great run I have been on, as far as running health goes, because this shit will just get you.

Do you feel your running affects your performance on stage?My initial concerns were if I was trying to keep a solid base, I would be tired for the shows because I was running so much. But it actually was the opposite. During the extra two hours of being on my feet every day playing a show — and the shows are fairly physical for me — I actually felt fitness gains. I could go and run a 20-mile run before a show and not feel like my legs were dead and feel like, "Oh, I can totally manage this tonight." 

Is there any additional cross-training you do to stay fit?I have a strength routine, for the core and lower body. It's a circuit that I will do maybe twice a week, of walking lunges, hip resistance band work, planks, crunches, and squats. In the past I suffered from some IT band issues, which tend to be the result of weak glutes and hips, so I have been trying to make sure as I add mileage that my core and those muscles are staying aligned and strong. I am not a "gym guy." If I could have my way I would just start at the base of a trailhead that goes up into the mountains. For me, it has less to do with exercise, and more that it just feels like something I need in my life.

ALSO: Scott Jurek's Tips for Going from Marathon to Ultra

Any tips for people who want to start trail running, or even do an ultra?I would say, when I first got into this sport I got really excited about it and tried to do too much, too soon. If you allow your enthusiasm to overtake your base then you are going to get injured and it is going to be discouraging. Build up to it; you'll find it is just a really wonderful counterbalance to the pace of modern life.

5 Tips to Boost Creativity

We've heard going for a walk can boost our creativity, but after a mid-day lap around the block, that sheet of paper might still be blank. So what's the secret to coming up with that perfect pitch? And if we aren't born creative people, will we ever come up with the next great solution?

"A lot of people think creativity is about having that one, big brilliant idea," says Keith Sawyer, professor of educational innovations at UNC Chapel Hill and author of Zig Zag: The Surprising Path to Greater Creativity. "It will be like the heavens opening and the angels singing — and that really isn't the way creativity works. Creative people have tons of ideas, and they don't know yet which one is the right one, or which will work out."

RELATED: How to Beat a Bad Mood

But you aren't a fountain of ideas, right? Wrong. According to Sawyer, everyone has creative potential, and while you cannot set the timer on your Eureka! moment, you can lay the groundwork. We might think certain people have creative dispositions and therefore, the best ideas, but Sawyer says the research doesn't point to that. Creative insight comes from flooding your mind with many concepts, allowing the subconscious to mix and match them into something original. With that in mind, here are five tips to light the fire for your own creative process.

Start with a good question.
"What is the idea for my app?" is a bad one. A better question is more specific and digs deeper into the question, maybe asking how the app could help a specific issue. "There's a lot of creativity involved in asking the right question," Sawyer says, "and I think a lot of people don't spend enough time identifying the real opportunity of what the real problem is." Knowing exactly what you want can help you get to the point faster.

RELATED: How to Nap at Work

Become an expert …
It is a myth that people can come up with creative solutions by having an outsider's perspective. "Exceptionally creative people have really done their homework, and they know a lot about the area they're working in," Sawyer says. Take the time to educate yourself and fill your mind with information that is relative to your problem. Knowing all the ideas, concepts, and facts in a certain area prepares you for the moment your creative insight strikes.

But still know a little bit about everything.
A creative person's knowledge spans the horizon — they're dilettantes who know lots of little things about many different topics. "The reason why that enhances your creativity is that we know you have better ideas if you can make distant connections," Sawyer says. The history of invention is built on stories where people thought to combine unrelated things, and you can't do this unless you fill your mind with very different ideas. Carve out time during the week to learn about something you might be interested in — the Civil War, juggling, how an elbow works — even if you don't think it is related to your job, or what you are doing today. "It takes curiosity and open-mindedness, but you never know when these random ideas are going to become relevant."

Give your brain a rest with a relaxing activity.
Research shows that people have their best ideas when they take time off — something Sawyer refers to as "imagination incubation." The trick is to distract your mind with an activity that is not intellectual, but still keeps you focused. "Exercise is particularly good at helping your mind engage in that subconscious process of bouncing ideas against each other," Sawyer says. When we exercise or chop vegetables or work in the yard, the activity captures our conscious mind, but leaves our subconscious free to roam and relax. According to Sawyer, you need to tap into the power of your unconscious to make those distant connections that you wouldn't necessarily think of consciously.

RELATED: 12 Ways to Meditate During the Day

Practice creative thinking — seriously.
You need a technique to get your brain to start thinking differently than it is accustomed to. Try a game called "toppling." Say the first word that comes to mind, and then say another word that is related to it. The third word must be related, but in a different way, and so on. Here's what it looks like:

First word: Mushroom.
Second word: Carrot (The relationship is vegetables.)
Third word: Rabbit (Now, we've named an animal.)
Fourth word: Cartoon

Of course, it's only natural to think of similar ideas, so a game like this helps you come up with ones that are unrelated. Try playing it with the problem you want to solve, and you'll end up with a bunch of disconnected ideas around the same topic. "Everyone's minds are structured in the same way — we know this from cognitive psychology. So all of our minds have potential to come up with creative ideas," Sawyer says. "And most of us just don't have the experience. It's just like exercising anything."

The Real Reason You Have Plantar Fasciitis (and How to Fix It)

Plantar fasciitis can bring down even the strongest men. In sports, we see athlete after athlete sidelined because of this particular malady — a maddening diagnosis that can make one dread just getting out of bed to walk to the bathroom. It can be excruciating, and follows you around with no respite.

For as common as plantar fasciitis is, little is understood in the medical field about the causes of it. There is, however, consensus on what it is technically, an irritation or inflammation in the plantar fascia often accompanied by tiny tears in the fascia itself. While I agree that plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury, I have my own theory on the true cause.

In my clinical work, I have seen plantar fasciitis develop because people are not using their posterior chain efficiently while walking or running. I see two main issues associated with this foot pain: lack of hip extension and/or overuse of the soleus (your lower calf muscle), both of which cause your feet to get tight and your plantar fascia to overwork. Step after step, day after day, your gait is not efficient and forces are not transferred properly through the body, leading to injury.

Almost everyone needs to open up their hip flexors. We all know that sitting too much is wreaking havoc on our bodies, and there has been a spate of articles detailing all of the disheartening facts. In addition to all the other issues, tight hip flexors will cause a lack of hip extension and cause glutes to work inefficiently. 

Here's a routine that will release your hip flexors, soleus, and get you back on track: 

RELATED: Sitting, the Most Unhealthy Thing You Do

Hip Flexor ReleaseFor this release, use two lacrosse balls taped together.

• Lay on your stomach and place the double lacrosse ball just below your hip bone.
• Lean a tolerable amount of weight onto the lacrosse balls.
• Bend the knee on the side of the release back to a 90 degree angle.
• Swing your leg side to side in a tolerable range of motion.
• Repeat this in 30-second to two-minute intervals.

Hip Thrust

• Holding two dumbbells, lie with your upper back flat on a bench or table with your legs and low back off the edge and feet on the ground.
• Place the dumbbell on your hips.
• Dip your glutes down and then thrust back up, squeezing your glutes through the movement.
• To make it more challenging, add a band around your knees just below the knee.

Calf Release

• Sit with your calf on top of the lacrosse ball.
• Place your other leg over the one you are releasing and roll yourself up and down over the ball.
• Once you find a spot that is tender, stop and point your foot up and down for 30 seconds.

Plantar Fascia Release

• Standing with a lacrosse ball or golf ball: Place the ball on the bottom of your foot.
• With weight placed through your leg, gently roll the ball under your foot.
• Once you find a spot that is tender, stop and point your toes up and down.
• Roll on the ball for one to two minutes.

Calf Raises

• Stand with chest against a stability ball, rested on a wall, legs straight out behind you until heel isn’t touching the floor.
• Shift your weight all to one leg with the other leg resting on the back of the working leg. Slightly bend your knee.
• Go up on your toes, then come all the way back down until heel touches the floor.
• Repeat the motion with working leg straight. Perform exercise with foot pointing straight and foot turned outwards.
• If this is too difficult, you can perform with both feet on the ground.
