The FNA competition started today! Hopefully everyone planning on competing started off on the right foot! Remember we ask that you log your workouts and meals on Beyond the Whiteboard to participate. I just spent some time tooling around on there, logging my meals and some old workouts and it is definitely pretty easy to navigate once you get the hang of it.

I’m going to attempt to give you the cliff notes version of all this nutrition talk that has been going around and then point you towards our Nutrition links to go more in depth.
Paleo vs. Zone, whats the difference?
Paleo is purely types of food, or quality. The Paleo diet refers to eating pre-agriculture type foods. Basically things you could either harvest or kill yourself. There are no stipulations on quantity.
The Zone on the other hand is a means of bookkeeping your food intake in terms of macronutirients (aka protein, carbs and fat) in “blocks”. Kinda a pain in the butt at first, but man o man after a month or two you can eyeball your portions with razor sharp precision!
Basically our goal is to eat more plants and less boxed and bagged goods. From here I would check out CrossFit Journal Issue 21: The Zone, and The Paleo Diet for more then enough information to make you never want to look at food again!
Yes they do hurt!
You woosey!!!
When I saw that Nancy was today’s WOD I felt the need to create a new word to describe what I was feeling. That word is “corifying”. Its dictionary entry would look something like this:
Main Entry: corifying
Function: adjective
Date: circa 2009
1 : causing terror or apprehension, as it relates to one’s core.
Also, I’ve posted a training habits questionnaire on the CF Fury Faccebook Group that I found on San Francisco CrossFit’s site. It’s from America’s top muscle lengthener, Kelly Starrett, and may give you some insight as to where you want to try and improve your training as you progress through the F’N A Competition.
MOM how are you going to call me a woosey when you didn’t even do all the reps and didn’t even go all the way down on the sit ups……how bout you do all of the work out and see how you feel……woosey my butt!
Americas top muscle lengthener… thats classic!
I didn’t think K Star would appreciate me calling him the “King of Stretching,” with him declaring stretching to be dead and all.
