The temperature is on the rise and the sunshine (when we get it) is getting longer. SPRING! The season where we shake off the winter…
Power Cleans: 135# Felt pretty solid and could have done a little more
WOD: 54 reps with 75# and full chest-to-bar pull-ups. I didn’t account for how difficult the C2B Pull-ups would be! Definitely my limiting factor. With a minute to go, I couldn’t manage to contact the bar anymore…needs some work!
why is it that in some paleo cookbooks yams and sweet potatoes are OK and in some they are not???
There are enough debates online about what is and what isn’t Paleo to last a lifetime and sweet potatoes are a hot topic in those debates. From all my reading, I deciphered that the reason to avoid or limit consumption of sweet potatoes and other starchy tubers is directly linked to a person’s goals for being on the diet. If weight loss is the goal, these should be avoided. If you are active and working out at CF, then these are perfectly fine to enjoy and still be Paleo. But like all things on a nutritional plan- enjoy these starches in moderation! Hope this helps.
For those who weren’t here yesterday evening. Merritt will be one of our go-to’s when it comes to Paleo Do’s and Dont’s. She’s an avid Paleo reader and follower and has great insight on the topic.
DISCLAIMER: She is not a Nutritionist but enjoys the Paleolithic Diet as a hobby and lifestyle.
ok thanks merritt. i have heard both ways, but that makes sense.
Sooo…I bought a bison roast in anticipation of the Paleo challenge
….now… how does one cook a buffalo???
Jeanne- I’m not sure how to cook it but I’m pretty certain I know how to eat it!!!
I’ll join in the eating too, but I think we should go hunt a WHOLE buffalo.
Here is a site I found for preparing the food.

Can you make the whole buffalo hunt a WOD? If so, I’m totally in on the paleo challenge.
re-posting this if you want to know how. If you want to add a picture to your profile go to this Website. It helps put a face to your name.

Mark Your calendars now. Our next FREE yoga class will be on January 25th at 7:30pm.
Also, our next Fundamentals class will be on January 18th @ 7:30pm. Please email peter if you want more information.
You can rent out my certified executive chef skills for the duration of this challenge if you pay my CFNT dues for 2 months, buy me a pair of f-lite 195’s (preferably white/blk sz10) and serenade me during at least one WOD per week!
I’m just messin witcha!!!!
We should have a Paleo-approved buffet for the Paleo meeting.
~ 200# on Power Clean.
WOD = 70 reps with 100# thrusters and regular, **no band** pull-ups! Pull-ups weren’t chest to bar, but one step at a time.
Fun workout.
Food for thought on goals :

Congrats again on your “no band” pullups!
: )
thankful to be able to come into cfnaptown today! (i never know when i will get a chance with the little ones)
glad to be doing some cleans today with my previous back issues. only did 60 lbs, but felt good
73 on the WOD. i did “normal” pull ups unassisted!! i am starting to get the kipping rhythm which i never thought i would be able to do!
picture test
picture success!
Intro_ Power Clean- only worked up to 63# – time just flew by!
WOD_ 90
-still working on those pull ups and kip technique
-thrusters at 53#- should have pushed it on the weight, but all in good time…
I finished my power cleans @ 63#s. I’m definitely still working on my form/technique and keeping an eye on my shoulder soreness. Big thanks to assistant coach Jared Moises Cantrell for all the pointers and tips to improve my power cleans. I immediately noticed a difference when I did what he suggested. You’re awesome, Jared!
78 reps on the WOD. I did the thrusters at 55#s & got close to doing chest to bar with the red band. Not bad for my 2nd time using the red instead of the blue. I will be doing bandless pullups!:) Also, my kipping rhythm is getting better. I can do more consecutively today than last week!
WOW!!!
