Deadlift + Power Clean Combo

W.O.D. 2.25.09

8 - 8 - 8 - 8

Each set consists of: five (5) Deadlifts followed by three (3) Power Cleans.

Work sets are done according to your Power Clean 3RM and add 50lbs for your Deadlift reps.

Example:

For someone with a 95lb 3-RM Power Clean: DL x 5 @ 145lbs, then immediately drop weight and perform PC x 3 @ 95lbs. Example for someone with a 155lb 3-RM Power Clean: DL x 5 @ 205lbs, then immediately drop weight and perform PC x 3 @ 155lbs. If you miss your reps, drop weight but always start with + 50lbs on DL. Use three light build-up sets before starting your first heavy work set.

*Let's thank our friends at CrossFit Ft. Myers for this one! I can't wait for my next visit to Florida to visit Jason Cobb and his crew. My first CrossFit experience was at CF Ft. Myers about a year ago...and I never looked back!

No matter what the time on the stopwatch reads or the weight you lift, you are all successful each day you walk through the door and give everything that your mind and body will allow.

Click here to read Rapid Health Improvements with a Paleolithic diet from the Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D...It might leave you questioning if the "person" who made an "oops" when they said it was dangerous to squat below parallel was the same "person" that said saturated fat is evil...hummm. A small excerpt is below:

...The Paleolithic diet data indicates that early man ate more saturated fat than he did carbohydrates. And he was molded by the processes of natural selection to thrive on such a diet. When he bolted from that meat-based diet, as he did when he settled in to life as an agriculturalist, he paid dearly for it with a devolution in health. Since the evidence is so obvious that a diet higher in saturated fat worked wonders for Paleolithic man, it seems like some academicians somewhere would ranger up and test such a diet. But it appears that the pox on saturated fat is so virulent that no one wants to risk it.

If such a study were done and the results tally with what I’m positive the results would be, the authors would find themselves in the untenable position of having to at least tacitly imply that saturated fats aren’t harmful. And that could ruin an academic career. No more invitations to present at meetings. Expulsion from the club. People tsk tsking behind their hands. It just couldn’t be done.

“At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly becomes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precious moment in life than this, the white moment, and you will work very hard for years just to taste it again.” -- Yuri Vlasov, Soviet Weightlifter

Get this S*%@#!# out of your life immediately!

If you missed the last nutrition post where it said that these "fake" sugars are more addictive than cocaine....I posted an article today in the nutrition blog that will leave you feeling had by the fantastic marketers in America. Read the little except below from Dr. Mercola and then click on the Nutrition Blog to read more about the dreaded "fake" sugar.

The Diet Fallacy
The belief that consuming artificially sweetened foods and drinks will help you to lose or maintain weight is a carefully orchestrated deception. So if you are still opting for diet choices for this reason, please understand that you have been sorely misled.In reality, these diet foods and drinks can cause serious distortions in your biochemistry and ruin your body's ability to control calories. As a matter of fact, it’s been shown that diet soft drinks can double your risk of obesity!
Nearly a decade ago, studies were already revealing that artificial sweeteners can:
Stimulate your appetite
Increase carbohydrate cravings
Stimulate fat storage and weight gain Unfortunately, most public health agencies and nutritionists in the United States still recommend these toxic artificial sweeteners as an acceptable alternative to sugar.

"From Start to Finish"

-Aimee Lyons

To be involved in something that you are truly passionate about, which also benefits an entire community and helps everyone you touch become a better human being, is both powerful and amazing. It was a remarkable feeling to be in a room of 200+ affiliate owners and realize what a huge impact CrossFit has had on their lives and everyone whom they have touched. The buzz it has created based on pure results and individual successes is AWESOME! If you are reading this note, this is truly a community that you are a part of; one that is larger than your town, neighborhood or city. It is simply HUGE, an ocean of individuals coming together sharing stories, successes and determination.

Throughout my life prior to CrossFit, I was driven to complete something from "start to finish" and move on to my next goal. It took CrossFit to show me that is not, really, what it is all about. It is about the journey, not the start or the finish. I need to thank "Coach" for helping me realize that it is the journey, and more specifically the CrossFit journey, which is truly the best part. Greg Glassman has given the community tools to create a revolution of health, fitness and camaraderie around the world.

CrossFit is no longer about drinking the "Koolaid", but rather about understanding that you NEED to drink the Koolaid to better your life and live long and prosper as an individual and healthy human being!

I hope that every day when you walk out of CrossFit KoP you have learned something from me because if you're walking out with nothing, then I have failed at my job…

Mike G and Chuck, 2009 CrossFit Games

Info from Modern Forager:

"Here we report that when rats were allowed to choose mutually-exclusively between water sweetened with saccharin–an intense calorie-free sweetener–and intravenous cocaine–a highly addictive and harmful substance–the large majority of animals (94%) preferred the sweet taste of saccharin."

-Scott Kustes

Check out the NEW nutrition link on the side bar. I have created a nutrition blog so that you don't have to go searching through past blog entries for all your nutrition information. It is the first link (CrossFit KoP Nutrition) located under CrossFit KoP Nutrition links, (along with some other great reference material) and it will be a blog that contains all of the Nutrition entries you have seen recently on the home page. From time to time I will let you know when I post there for your convenience.

If you have any web-links you would like to see or if you would like anything specifically posted, just let me know and I will post it for you!

NICE NICOLE!
