Big welcome to Chris. In his short time in the gym he has made some real progress, particularly with pull ups. Look for him to be a monster as his endurance gets better.
Workout of the Day
Jerk
3-2-1-1-1

Chris met his first true lifting day today and while he still has some form stuff going on, it is obvious that this kid is STRONG. Nice job this morning 6 am’ers.

Chris was totally impressive this morning! I liked his comment “These are easy!” while SDLing 260+ lbs!
my efforts felt pretty meager in comparison, but i did PR by #20 in my push jerk. 145/145/135. lower back was feeling the SDL’s.

Tonight for dinner I made a yummy meatball dish. Hopefully most of our Paleo Challengers have made a lifestyle change and are still hunting for Paleo-friendly recipes. My whole family (and a friend of my 10-year old daughter) inhaled this dish.
Marvelous Meatballs!
(In the crock pot)
Mix together (use your hands)
2lbs grassfed ground beef
1lb pork sausage
chopped celery, onions, and carrots
3 eggs
1/2 cup almond meal
lots of dried oregano, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and a little cayenne
small drizzle of raw honey
Form into meatballs and cover bottom of crock pot, you might have to stack them depending on the size of your crockpot.
For the sauce mix:
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
a large handful of torn fresh basil
5-6 coarsely chopped garlic cloves
a couple pinches of sea salt
cracked black pepper to taste.
Cover meatballs with tomato sauce and cook all day on low.
Enjoy!
