Saturday’s injury prevention seminar with Dr. Rob Speirs went very well.  Props to Rob for a concise, well prepared presentation.  Today’s post was meant to be an explanation and video of the Tom House Shoulder protocol and the hip cycle exercises we learned on Saturday.  Unfortunately, I left all the material at the gym, so stay tuned for more details.  I’ll post them as soon as I get it together…

Mobility Monday

You probably hear “Elbows up!” and “Chest up!” a lot at CFW.  Sometimes it’s easier said than done and thoracic mobility can be a factor in this equation.  What we’re talking about here is the part of your spine made up of 12 vertebrae in the chest area, basically mid-upper back. Here’s some reading on thoracic mobility and its importance in weightlifting.

Workout of the Day

Death by 10 metres

Run 10m on the minute. Each round (every minute) add 10 meters until you can no longer continue.

Then, to continue our week of hammering at your grip, AMRAP in 5 minutes:
1 L-pull up (scale to strict pull up if necessary)
2 Toes to bar
3 C2B (chest to bar) pull ups
4 K2E (knees to elbows)
5 pull ups however

*if the athlete releases the bar, he or she must stop and perform 5 burpees before resuming the complex where the athlete left off. There is no limit on the number of times an athlete can be penalized for releasing the bar.

In this installment of Food Fridays, Kimberly has the solution for those days when you just don’t feel like “cooking”.

I  ♥ My Slow Cooker

What a wonderfully cheap and easy way to increase your protein!  Start with pork, chicken, beef, or lamb, add some water and perhaps a spice or two (but not required), turn it on low in the morning before work and voila! 6-8 hours later you now have meat for the week.  And the cheaper cuts almost work better.  If you’re not having it for dinner that night let it cool down a bit and then throw the whole thing in the fridge.  It’s much easier to get thin slices off a cold roast, and more pleasant to de-bone cold chicken.  Add slices to salads, make primal sandwiches, have some meat with veggies as a snack, anything goes.  And as a bonus you can use the juice for soup stock.  Here’s my favorite chicken recipe.

Slow Cooker Asian-Inspired Roast Chicken

Remove the skin from a small chicken (crock-pot size) and make some crackle.  Cut the skin into hand-sized pieces and add them to a frying pan over low-medium heat, lightly season with salt and let it crisp up while you work.  The fat cooks away to leave a delicious chip (trust me, try it!).

Mix together (all measurements are approximate)

2 tsp each lemon juice, sesame oil, and balsamic vinegar

2 Tbs crushed garlic (more if you like garlic!)

1/4 cup honey (you can use less to make it more primal)

1/3 cup each evoo and soy sauce (or tamari)

1/2 cup chicken stock (or water)

Place the chicken breast down into the pot and pour the sauce over top and inside.  Cook on low for 8 hours (more or less depending on your slow cooker).  Serve with stir-fried veggies.  Keep the sauce and make soup stock out of it.
