Good news:
Hit a new (10#) PR in the back squat: 265# Shooting to get up to a more respectable 300# by the end of the year - its going to be tough as squatting isn't my strong suit but I know it will help in my overall wodding once i get stronger.
Bad news:
took so long getting it up (stop right there) that i ran out of memory on the video camera before i stood up all the way.

In the way
Took the day off from wodding on Monday bc I had piss poor form on the OHL on Sunday. Yesterday was a long day starting from my new wake up time of 455a, w/ class times of 545a, 645a, 930a, 11a, then a paleo cheat lunch for my sister's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIDA), meant to wod at 530p but a person came in to ask about CF, then class at 615p and 715p. Got home to eat food i picked up at smashburger (dont worry - no bun or fires) around 900p, watched another episode of The Walking Dead (hooked) and went to bed exhausted to wake up today at 455a again.
Can't let life get in the way - need to make more time - anyone have a working Delorean they aren't using?

Paleo Challenge: Version 3.0
So I'm one week into my third (in earnest) paleo challenge. With the holidays and my birthday last month, I felt I had a hall pass to eat whatever dessert ended up in front of me. Not the case this time around. My extra motivation is Vegas for a bachelor party at the end of March.
In any case, the paleo challenge is going great so far - I've stayed away from my usual vices (french fries, cake) and I've even cut out my heavy cream! I can already see the results: body composition is changing and I've had the energy for 4 wods last week - unheard of!
Louie Simmons back squat strength day: this last one was rough. Need to focus on keeping the knees out in the bottom of the squat. Going for a new PR in the back squat this week - I'm a little nervous about this one.
Louie Simmons deadlift strength day + metcon: DLs always go well but I hope the 1RM deadlift goes up - i didnt incorporate DLs much more than the strength days... Metcon went very well!
On the min for 12min: 3 C2B, 5 HPS, 3 OHS. Was supposed to use 95# but used 65# instead. got all 12 rounds in but will probably switch to the OHS for my next Louie Simmons strength cycle.
Death by pullups: almost got through round 13. I was a little disappointed but know i need to add dead hang pullups to the list of things i need to work on. HSPU penalty went well too.
3 Rounds: 15 PP 85#, 20 OHL 45# + 2 Burpees every 30 Sec. Fastest male time was 7:58. I finished in 6:50 but I could have gone faster. The list of things I need to work on grows again: OHL
