“Snake Oil in Your Snacks” by Matthew Herper and Rebecca Ruiz, Forbes.
Question of the day:
Post workout nutrition: What do you find to be the best “after-wod” snack or meal for recovery, and well, just being able to get it down?
great picture! 100% effort
Thanks darlin! In Portland this week…see you guys next week π
Smoothie made with half and half, fruit and protein powder. Fast digesting, loaded with carbs, fats, and protein. The best post WOD food!
Good article on speed and center of gravity
Great job to all the morning classes. Everyone worked hard and kept the intensity high.
Having the opportunity to wake up every morning to individuals who are willing to work hard and give it their all is truly a blessing. Can’t wait to see some of the scores everyone puts up today!!

135lb bench still nursing a sore shoulder. First pull ups or benching in 4 months.
Jake, I know you are only 21 but you have come along way in a short period of time. I think you are getting better each week as a trainer!
195# – 167
more pullups this time but had no gas for bench. Thinking yesterday’s WOD had something to do with that.
Thank you Tracey for the spot and motivation. Great warm-up and coaching session by Jake. Coaches like a seasoned pro.
Post WOD meal. Egg whites and Laura bars. (I guess I need to add some fat).
Rest day for me. Post WOD breakfast meal – 3 oz of pork or chicken, Greek Yogurt, Apple
PWO nutrition:
Short answer: Sweet potatoes and a hunk of animal.
Long answer: I used to eat my regulat P/F/C meal after a wod, but I have recently started doing the post wod P/C with a balanced meal about 90 minutes later.
If you have trouble getting whole food down and want something paleo mix coconut water (measure it to whatever your CHO needs are) some egg whites (you can do egg protein powder if you can’t bring yourself to drink egg whites) a little coconut milk, and a splash of vanilla extract. If you don’t mind milk you can use whey powder.
For folks that are trying a low carb/ketogenic diet you can make a PWO shake of coconut milk, chocolate whey powder, and a splash of espresso. Boom mocha protein.
I did Russell’s body weight for the workout – 115# 35x PU 55X = 90 reps. feel horrible now and if i weren’t so tired, i’d throw up. salmon salad with strawberries and a glass of pinot noir for meal after WOD (when i get the strength to get out of the shower and eat.) wife and kids are gone, so daddy can be LAZY!!
Good to see some of my old friends again π and yes that includes you Russell…
Rx’d 36@205# and 68 PUs = 114. Ditto Craig on Jake
or 104! it’s that 10 we talked about in the workout…thanks for pushing me today Ron
Oops – told you my brain goes to dead after 25 of anything
101 = 44@65# (10 less than Rx) + 57 PUs (15 unbroken KPUs 1st round)
Nice job on the kpu’s!
66/103=169 @ 175
2 more on bench than last time, but 5 less pullups
46/15=61 at 95#
Hands trashed from Monday-hurt to even grab onto the bar during bench press, so, pull-ups were pretty much a lost cause!!
Glad for a Rest Day, and patiently awaiting my quality time with FGB!!!!
wound up being mostly an extra rest day…hamstrings still tight & right hip as well. went through the warm up, then cheered everyone else through 100 kb swings!
