It seems Kimberly was inspired by the copious amounts of shrimps ingested this week by yours truly…
The weather is almost tropical, here’s some recipes to match.
I was craving something a little different this week and Tania’s travel posts inspired me to buy some shrimp and find a new recipe to go with them. I found a tasty looking recipe on one of my favorite paleo food blogs from CF Santa Cruz Central. They’re a little labour intensive but well worth it and a nice change from the usual pork/beef/chicken + veggie meals. I squeezed some fresh lime juice on the shrimp before serving to add some kick, avocado slices would be a nice addition too.
The “Meat at the Forks” meatshop at The Forks sells Andouille sausage (and other nitrate-free bacon and sausage products). In a pinch I’m sure Chorizo or Italian spicy sausage would work too.
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.
100 ft walking lunges
50 burpees
25 knees to elbows
5 rope ascent – 15′
50 box jumps – 24″/20″
25 L Pull Ups
50 GHD Sit Ups
The following video is a good shoulder ROM drill I have been using quite a bit lately. If you are seeing someone about a shoulder problem, then check with your practitioner before doing any of these exercises.
On Monday, August 3, the gym will be closed except for a team workout at 9AM.
Novice: Overhead Squats 5-5-5-5-5 Keep it light and focus on a deep quality squat.
Intermediate: 1-3-5 Pressing Snatch Balance-Snatch Balance-Overhead Squat. Keep it light and focus on technique. The idea is to get used to landing in a solid overhead squat.
Advanced: Snatch Sets of 2 with no more than 75% to 80% of 1RM. Focus on technique.
Then, X rounds for time of:
15 knees to elbows
20 hollow rocks
25 anchored or GHB sit ups
Novice & Unlimited: 2 to 3 rounds
3/Wk & Advanced: 4 to 5 rounds
* Ab Killer workout inspiration from OPT’s blog. I think the original included L-sits and even more knees to elbows…
