Ooh! Oatmeal and Jello would be fun too!Also, I decided to go paleo. Being that Pepsi throwback has real sugar, Copenhagen is of the earth, and Burt's Bees is made by bees, these will be staples. This also means that I will be eating everything without utensils, including spaghetti.
I concur.I'm pretty sure that red bull is paleo too, since it's essentially a can of bull's energy. Maybe one of the science guys can correct me if I'm wrong.
No spaghetti in paleo... WHY!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!Also, I decided to go paleo. Being that Pepsi throwback has real sugar, Copenhagen is of the earth, and Burt's Bees is made by bees, these will be staples. This also means that I will be eating everything without utensils, including spaghetti.
MMMMMM... I think I had a Paleo Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll this weekend, cuz I ate it with my fingers...Ooh! Oatmeal and Jello would be fun too!
No, I am pretty sure that statement flies.I'm pretty sure that red bull is paleo too, since it's essentially a can of bull's energy. Maybe one of the science guys can correct me if I'm wrong.

Finished round one and got 15 squats deep into round two. Should have skipped the workout this morning. Anyway, my dumb ass will probably do two workouts tomorrow and for the remainder of the week (gym prescribed and WWW) just because I want the most for my money.
I didn't puke but it was definitely a challenge.That WOD looks like a puke fest waiting to happen. I think I want to try it!
Surprisingly, I'm not sore. Hip flexors are a little tight but I'll roll them out tonight.That's a lot of jumping....my moobs would be sore.
Quads, ass and calves, yessir.Now that is a circuit for your ass!!!! Okay well maybe your quads but damn that looks intense and a good way to break in the wrists for heavier front squats I bet.
I was thinking this but it has been so long since I did one I didn't want to try to critique the form, but I thought he needed to drop deeper on the catch.Try to drop under the weight more on the cleans.
It'll be extremely necessary to catch when weight gets heavy because you won't be able to pop it all the way up and will be forced to drop under it instead so it's good to practice it with light weights.
Should be the pop of the hips and then an immediate drop into an oly squat in the catch.
thanks, tryin over here.Sexy.
Thanks buddy. Yup, that workout is gonna be tough. I just hope to finish it.Nice work on the cleans, I have not done a clean in years. Closest I have done is to clean the bar out of the bent over row hooks on the front of the squat rack with 135 on it. That is going to be one hell of a workout by the way. So you are dropping weight but how does it look on you? Are you noticeably leaner, do your muscle look smaller or do you just look leaner. What would you say is happening with your physique?
Yessir. Only reason I'm not dropping into squat position on video is because tonight will be hang cleans and I was trying to get maximum hip pop and shrug to get the bar up without having to rely on the squat for assistance. Once weight goes higher, squat will be essential. Plus I'm a little tight from last night.Try to drop under the weight more on the cleans.

So am I. I was looking at bumper weights and bars yesterday. Goddamn it's expensive to lift your own weights.Nice! I am really very close to pulling the trigger on the "One Man One Barbell" program I sent you.
No doubt, but bumpers are typically a little taller so you don't need all bumpers just two big ones, and can load the other plates after. I have been meaning to get a pair of 10kilo bumpers so my wife can dead lift from the appropriate height. She always ends up too deep with the smaller weights and that hurts her back.So am I.

Agreed. Even a decent bar costs a few c-notes though.No doubt, but bumpers are typically a little taller so you don't need all bumpers just two big ones, and can load the other plates after.

Thank you sir. I see it, I will fix it. Ain't nobody got time for elbow surgery.Troop, one thing that concerns me w your clean is the inward angles of your upper arms. It's putting a lot of pressure on the tendons/ligaments on the inside of the elbow. Looked really good of the floor...
its more than likely just a mobility thing. Easily fixed...Thank you sir. I see it, I will fix it. Ain't nobody got time for elbow surgery.
Just noticed your vid. The only other thing, other that what Napalm said, is to make sure that that when you pop your hips, pull the bar into them as well. Your shooting straight up and using what looks like all upper body to muscle the bar up. Get that solid hip to bar contact an the bar will come up much easier. This will help a lot with your drop too, so you will be more solid at the catch instead of having your knees come in.
Thanks Maynard. Will also work on this during warmup. I'll get some more video tonight, probably without a shirt on since it's crossfit.I remember reading something, I think rippetoe and he said its shoulder girdle mobility. What he says is to put enough weight on the bar so you can't get it off the j hooks, get in a clean position and just keep working your arms under the bar. Put a stretch on it, let off, rinse lather, repeat until you can get in the right position...
