WOD: Overhead Squat: 5-5-5-5-5 AQAP:10 Muscle-ups100 Push Press 75/531000m Row Post results/thoughts to comments Some more PR’s today on the overhead squat. For those that are battling with mobility with this movement make sure you continue to work light and work on the mobility. The mobility required for the overhead squat will carry over and help you in so many other movements. If you’re looking for stuff to do don’t forget to check out the MobilityWOD. We didn’t get a picture, so I’ll say it here, congrats to Sophie for her first muscle-up. See you tomorrow to work some weaknesses. Cheers.

WOD: “60 Day Paleo Challenge Benchmarks“ 3RM DeadliftMax Pull-ups3 rounds AQAP:21 Deadlifts 135/9515 Hang Power Cleans 135/959 Thrusters 135/95 Post results/thoughts to comments So amazing to see how well so many of you did on the Paleo Challenge, you should all be proud of turning yourselves into healthier, and hopefully happier human beings. I saw big PR’s on the deadlift, minutes dropped off the workout, 10 or more pull-ups gained and pounds lost. Again CrossFit and the Paleo diet are a lifestyle, so don’t let it all go away now, keep with it, and continue to reap the rewards of a healthy, active, and natural lifestyle. Cheers. Phillip with a PR on the deadlift Tanya with a PR…and more pull-ups and time off and a few pounds Terri, Pete, and a bunch of other Paleo eaters ripping through the met-con – Jade
