There have been many questions regarding the Paleo Challenge that starts tomorrow. Please be prepared and get all of your questions out of the way now.
Email: paleo@crossfitnaptown.com
One question we have received many inquiries on is… “In the handbook, it says if I have one piece of Carbohydrate/Grain than the whole challenge is ruined… so what’s the point if I don’t think I can succeed?” (Paraphrased from numerous conversations with members)
THE POINT IS… Building the gut lining within your stomach is just one of the benefits of the Paleo Diet. There are countless other benefits so taking advantage of this challenge will certainly benefit you even if you do “accidentally” cheat once during the challenge.
DOUBLE UNDER FUN!!!

I’m horrible at Double “Underers”, but if you’re like me, don’t dread this one! Use it as a chance to just work on your DU’s by using their goals. I feel like my form got a little better by the end.
I did the “Micro” version in 13 minutes of struggling, but it feels a little more comfortable now. A great learning experience if nothing else!
Dear Double Unders,
I think it is time to move our relationship to the next level. You see what I have with the blue band now, that could be you. Let’s just keep working at “us” until we are one. There are great things in our future together.
Your new friend, hoping to be more,
Liz
Made it to the Freshman squad today (Micro). Took me almost the whole 20 minutes, but I kept at it and feel confident I can start knocking these out faster. Great workout!
First time jumping rope since 4th Grade Jump Rope for Heart Relay.
Micro – 13 minutes
Longest Hand-Stand – 48 seconds (wall assisted)
I am bound and determined to get my first Double Unders tonight, come hell or highwater.
UPDATE: I GOT TWO DOUBLE UNDERS TONIGHT! SO PUMPED!
a humbling workout. did the micro pretty quickly (but i have no idea what the time was) and then tried for the mini. i got to 15 & just could not get past that set.
at least i have tons of really cute whip marks…
RACHEL!! Congrats on getting 15 DU reps! We just talked about our max unbroken reps being rather low – so that is fantastic work today! I hope I improve too!
So we had a small discussion about OCD this week. I have found the true definition.
” OCD=Obsessive CrossFit Disorder”
I am officially OCD and proud!
Butch- I like you update on what OCD stands for. Since you brought up my daily cucumber lunch treat I thought I would modify my “OCPD” status to Obsessive CrossFit / Paleo Disorder. 🙂
Merritt, what’s your cucumber lunch treat? I’m intrigued.
Saturday classes will be at 9am and 10am this week only. Spread the word!
did one of the team workouts this week and found it much more miserable than i would have predicted…

88# KBS

Mini 15 on the way up.
did an in between of JV and varsity.
worked up to 40 consecutive DU’s (PR!) and got stuck at 20 going back down due to the time cap.
i also have “cute” little whip marks all over my forearms and legs!
This WOD was so humbling that I’m not even posting my results. Took the whole 20 mins to practice and I will be practicing double unders a lot more often now.

210lb(+weight of sled) sled push 30ft/10yds down and back
