My shoulders be shot!

Today's picture caption.... synchronized awesomeness. :)

Here's something to hopefully motivate the Nutrition challenge bunch. Some folks might remember I wrote on here about 6 months ago mentioning the happy news regarding my first visit to my doctor after starting Crossfit. I had another followup this morning and long story short everything is still great. The thing I'm most pleased about is that triglyceride levels have fallen even further (smart people say that triglycerides are a direct indicator of pathological inflammation and the related maladies like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc.). HDL is still good and as high as ever for me. LDL was up slightly, but I attribute that to a transient bump from my week-long pre-paleo nutrition challenge binge. Still way below what it was a year ago.

In my earliest Crossfit 101 days I remember Dennis exhorting one of the Sat AM WOD classes to pay attention to nutrition, and that it's better to get the nutrition right and skip the workouts than to do the workouts and eat like crap. Certainly that has proved true in my case. My "baseline" nutrition btw is 90% or so Zone (measured), semi-paleo (avoid grains, starches, and sugar, but don't get between me and my cheese). Eating well really makes a difference. Pass it on.

At this point I just need to get my shoulder back to 100%. Since it's now far more likely I'll live long enough, I've got to get that muscle-up so I can be the one to show my now 3-month-old granddaughter how it's done when the time comes. ;)

I always love to hear your stories. I wish my family memebers could get on board with these types of changes that could be life altering for them...alas, they are stubborn and we're weird.

9:40 RX'd Unbroken up until last two rounds of CTB pullups.

Great 0600 class this morning and I hope my lats get a rest next week... a good bit of PULL exercises this week.

I wish my parents would adopt some good eating habits. Heck I wish I could get my dad to stop smoking... I think we all have some weird in all of our families!

I don't care for lunges

If ever there was an exercise short legs were good for lunges are them. The distance is less and the strides are smaller and quicker. Now when it comes to 400 meter lunges and not numbers... I am screwed!

Hi guys! Just a quick note that the t-shirts for Barbells for Boobs are first come first serve this year. If you plan on participating go ahead and sign up now so you can hopefully get a t-shirt!
