So this video is a little more than a year old, but its still pretty gangster. Keep in mind that Josh Everett weighs in at about 185# give or take. That's 135# on the bar and he's moving it like its a PVC pipe. Check out what he says at the :53 - :59 second mark...

Its summer and its hot as hell. Now more than ever hydration is important not only for performance, but for you not dying. Seriously, drink as much water as your can throughout the day and on into the night. Throwing down water during a WOD does you ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD...its just your mind's weak ass excuse to stop and rest for a minute. Hydrate BEFORE the WOD...stay hydrated all the time. Hayden and I will do our best to keep the water jugs filled up (we went through 10 gallons over the past 24 hours) but carry around your own cup/jug-o-water throughout the day. WARNING: Those who pass out from dehydration will be taken directly to Glenn's medical practice for treatment. He's an animal doctor and you, my friend, are an animal.

So here is what we are gonna do folks...in addition to the Female Muscle Up Challenge (the first female that does a muscle up gets a free month) we're going to add the Bodyweight Overhead Squat Challenge. The first male and the first female that overhead squats their bodyweight 15 consecutive times will also get a free month. There...its ON SON! Predictions?

PALEO CHALLENGE COOKOUT
The "End of the Paleo Challenge Cookout" kicked off Saturday afternoon and lasted well into the night. A special thanks goes out to a few folks that made it as cool as it was. Food first...Catto hauled his smoker out to the gym and made some of the best BBQ I've ever tasted. Never trust a cook that deadlifts less than 500#. Thanks for the grub big guy! Joel organized the whole Paleo Challenge and provided us all with some really eye-opening nutrition info along the way. We all owe him a big thanks for throwing the idea out there for a Paleo Challenge a few months ago, putting it all together, and then being there the first few weeks to answer our dumb sugar questions. Mookie provided the high quality PBR keg which we were all very thankful for Saturday night...not so much Sunday morning.
In case you weren't able to make it, here are the Paleo Challenge results:
1st Place: Katheryn ($260 and 1 Free Month) / Scott ($260 and 1 Free Month) 3rd Place: Justin H (Hopper Deck and 1 Free Month)
END OF THE PALEO CHALLENGE COOKOUT PICS (Shoot me any other pics you have and I'll post 'em)

The Paleo Challenge Party is going down this Saturday (June 12th). Joel and Catto are going to start cooking the BBQ/beans/slaw around noon and we'll be ready to eat around 5PM. Bring whatever non-Paleo, non-Zone, All-Star Fat Bastard sides/deserts that you want (feel free to list them in the comments). We'll have a keg on hand full of whatever Mookie decides to fill it with (again, feel free to post recommendations in the comments). Please chip in $5 at the door to help cover the cost of food. Everybody is invited even if you didn't participate in the Paleo Challenge. Winners will be announced after we eat.
