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
