Jess and I got back last night from Arizona where it was a topsy three day non-Paleo bender. For the past three months, my morning weight average is 190. In these last three days, we went to sleep always past midnight after sitting way too close to a big screen TV. Our meals all included steak, turkey, or some other kind of protein but everything else was typically choices we avoided. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t really a bender. This is probably the lifestyle other people follow everyday.
Morning weight today, 196.
Banana Split Cream Cake – family recipe. Not Paleo.
In-N-Out burger joint. Always packed! If you’ve never been to one, you have got to try it once. Order it “Protein Style” , no cheese or sauce, if you are looking for the Paleo option. Sorry, they are not in Portland.
Warm-up:
1) 3-4 min jump rope work
2) 2 rounds:
10 Overhead squats
10 Pushups
10 situps
10 kip swings or pullups
3) Pick one:
3 min handstand practice
3 min muscle up work
3 x 5 L-pullups
3 min L-sit work
Workout:
1) Front Squat 1-3-1-3 Singles should be heavy, but not 1RM attempts. Decrease wt. for triples, but try for a PR 3RM.
While resting b/t sets, perform 1-2 no ft rope climbs.
2) Push Press 5-5-5 Try to increase weight from last week.
Mobility:
Elbow rotations
Wrist pushups x 10
Finger “flange” pushups x 10 + 10 sec hold
Prone scorpions

If you haven’t heard, the CrossFit Games preparation has officially begun! Well, one is always preparing for the Games in a sense. There are 10-15 people at the gym who have already expressed interest and talked to Scott about training for Sectionals in March. If you haven’t done so and are interested, talk to him at the gym or shoot him an email.
On the main board, you’ll sometimes see a Games Prep WOD in addition to the class WOD. The Games WOD ups the ante a bit in many variables like weight, volume, or general difficulty of movements. Scott will be programming to shore up reported weaknesses by those preparing for the games. Usually will be the same weak points that we all have At a competition, its usually not what you’re good at that gets you through, but what you are weak at that is exposed and hinders your performance.
