WOD: 30 minute AMRAP:6 Deadlifts 225/1557 Dumbbell Man Makers 30/3210 Kettlebell Swings 70/5323 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody, it was great to see so many people in the gym today, and really there were many of you, I count 58 people in the door to train today which is awesome. You guys all pushed it real hard in a tough WOD. Remember like I mentioned today, set those backs, there is no reason to hurt yourself or tweak your back as long as you do things safe and right. It’s great to hear so many people chatting about the Paleo Challenge, you all seem pumped on it, if you’ve got good recipes, post them in the comments on the Paleo Challenge page. Again great work everybody and see you tomorrow. Cheers. Kieran working hard to get that kettlebell overhead…

Paleo Challenge Update

Week 1 down, 38 days to go. Hope you guys are sticking to it and eating well. I’ve been perfect Paleo thus far, and like most of you I feel amazing. There have been reports surfacing with some impressive results, someone is already down 6lbs in a week. You all should expect to lean out during this and see some good improvements in performance. Way to go guys. Keep it up. See you tomorrow. – Jade

Great work everybody. Cheers. Erik in for a little birthday treat which just…
