4 rounds. After about 30s, I had to scale the L-sits with knees up.

4+10, tuck sits the whole way through, squats rx'd. My abs have not recovered from Angie on Sunday.

Mine are BAD OFF!!!! Michael and Angie don't play nice together...

Way to go sis!!! You rock :)

Standing around the proverbial coffee pot this morning I was listening to some colleagues commiserating about the onset of allergy season and the various miseries they are enduring. I realized that my impressive collection of prescription drugs for various life long allergy-related woes has sat gathering dust since last fall. I can't prove this (and maybe some of the knowledgable among us could weigh in) but my instincts tell me it's an additional benefit of smart nutrition (I'm mostly Zone-ish but not strictly paleo). Maybe that's another reason to jump into the nutrition challenge with some vigor. :)

Just wanted to remind everyone that our first Bible study will be tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock at Cracker Barrel. Anyone who would like to come is more than welcome to.

See you guys there!

Flexibility in the wrist and lats are getting better. I dropped the weight to get the reps without stopping and did not have a true L-sit. Epic Fail! 4+10 non-rx'd

Dave,

I believe that your observation is accurate. Our nutritional recommendation serves to reduce inflammation in the body. One form of inflammation that we deal with around here is allergies, and eating in such a manner that limits inflammation is certain to help with that. Dairy, especially, can exacerbate upper respiratory issues such as sinus allergies so leaving that out will sometimes help people with allergies. I personally consume some dairy (mostly in the form of raw grass-fed butter, and goat cheese) I don't drink milk as this seems to be the most problematic dairy product for most people.

There are other factors to sinus stuff like over training, and even the best athletes and strict paleo/zoners will experience upper respiratory issues from time to time. However, I think our bodies can deal with them much more efficiently if our diet is on point.

See you there.

3rds even...knees-up-sits after the first 30s of L-sits...squats as rx'd

this is guys only right? just checking...i do love me some cracker barrell!

It has to be true. I use to get migaines all the time during allergy season and I have only had one so far!...And, now that i think about it, I kicked the cold I had last week pretty fast! My husband ended up catching what I had and is in pretty bad shape. He took the day off from work and he NEVER does that. Sounds like Mr Casey needs to start some crossfit...huh Dave:-)

Looking forward to it.

Katherine,

This is for everyone! I have had multiple men and women tell me they were coming so it's inclusive to everyone

Absolutely, Casey! :) And what could be better than starting with the Team Nutrition Challenge!!

"Annie"

9:06 rx'd (PR)

Thank you 11.1 for the double unders.

Here is some bad paleo info: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/04/are-grains-making-us-fat/237030/

2+7, scaled to curlyball-sorta things, and even then probably spent 10-12 of the 15 minutes on those.

Holy moley on that 11.4 WOD!

Thanks 11.4 WOD, you just destroyed my goal of getting every WOD as Rx'd!

4:30 class. 4 rounds even, just made the last round as time expired. Cruised through the front squats nearly unbroken, never put the bar down, but the darn L-sits are just brutal.

Then went over to Fleet Feet (along with Casey Baird) to coach at the NOBO 5K training group. Those folks about to run their first 5K.

And kids now on Spring Break for the rest of the week...

Jason,

As long as you can do one burpee you'r workout will be Rx'd.
