1. Nice video today. I pulled my trap again last Thursday during the Tabata Mash up of cleans and jerks so clean technique is something I need to work on, can’t afford to be out for weeks and weeks with injuries.

2. This looks strangely familiar to last Saturday’s WOD.

3. Oh joy of joys more 400m runs, exactly what I have been missing!! He he… The crosswind will be huge tonight…

4. 12:15 for 3 rounds of:

   18.0 Km/h treadmill
   21 DB swings @ 20Kg
   12 Full PU’s

5. Simon,

   Quick word of advice, telling me you dislike something in a workout is a surefire way of getting it to come up again.

   The 7am crew had a max shoulder-to-overhead in 90seconds after Helen. Fun!

   Kyle,
   YOUR FACE looks strangely familiar!

   So, who’s up for the Paleo Challenge? We’ve already had a few sign up for it, should be a great experience for people! Dialling it your diet will seriously increase your performance and improve your body composition.

   Right, that’s probably enough in a comment so early.

6. stick me down. 17 days to beat.

7. I’ve a few non paleo events in August. Does that make any diff?

8. I’m not quite sure what a non-Paleo event is, but I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that participating in one would fall outside the scope of a Paleo challenge, Aidan.

9. You guys read my mind- I’ve been anxious to give helen another go!

10. Non-Paleo event = Weddings, 30th bdays.
    That kinda thing. Things were I’ve no control over food provided.

11. Hey Colm I thought you knew at this point that 400m is my ideal distance…

12. Aidan, you do have control over the food you put into your mouth. Just make good choices about the food you eat at such events like asking for more veg instead of spuds, bulking up mediocre servings of meats at parties with more salad so you won’t take the easy route when your hungry later on and eat some crap thats lying around, not eating dessert. Avoiding beer as well saves so much money its bloody madness. If it means bringing along some of your own food then so be it, a packet of nuts, some jerky or if you make something to share at a bbq/party which just happens to be paleo. It can be done my man even with social events occuring during the month.

13. Ye true Pat. Might just have to do that. Good advice.
    Staying away from the sauce is something I really want to do pre-invitational. Probably take some slack for it but what the hell, it’s good for me! And correct, the financial aspect of cutting out the alcohol is huge!

14. Might pop down this evening for a couple of runs, a few one armed KB swings and what ever monodextrous substitute you can suggest for the pull ups.

15. Pat is spot on there, the key to success with any Paleo challenge is thinking ahead. The more you’ve planned your food and you meals ahead of schedule the more you’ll increase your chances of staying 100% successful.

    I’d recommend everyone sign up for the challenge, it’s only 30 days. And if you can’t give up chocolate, or cakes, or bread or pasta or alcohol for 30 days, does that not scare you? That a foodstuff has that much control over you!?!

16. Scaled this otter-wise to 50%:
    200m run, 14 swings (1pood), 6 pullups
    8:58. By the way my standing excuses will be that I’m old and fat.

17. Great tips on the power clean lads i’ll try them and see can I sort out my lack of technique !

18. Don’t think I will be able to cope on with the Paleo challenge during fasting month, Ramadhan which is starting in less than 2 weeks. Over 29-30 days my eating window will be pretty much compressed especially this is summer time. After a long day of starvation, anything put on the plate going to be ate!

19. tough workout today! good job everybody!

20. The overhead lift after the metcon was interesting. Thumbs up for more stuff like that. Stops people like me spawling out on the floor afterwards when there is more work to do.
