Whiteboard – 4 January 2011

Workload:

50 Pistols

Rest 120 seconds then perform:

5 Rounds of:

10 Deadlift (55% 1-rep max)

5 Muscle-up

Notes: Perform 50 quality pistols.  If you can not do a pistol as rx’d please do 50 Cossack squats (Video Example – Cossack Squat with Chains)

Do not do the first portion for time.  Think about quality.  Don’t do it at a geriatric pace though, just stress quality over time.   After you are done your squats move into the 5 rounds of deadlifts and muscle-ups.  Since it is asking for only 2 minutes of rest, please set up the deadlift bar prior to starting the pistols.

Don't tell me you weren't born to squat...

    Is it 50 pistols per leg? Or 25 each leg for an overall total of 50?

    I’m looking at getting some grass-fed local beef (probably Tussock Sedge Farm), maybe an 1/8. Anyone want to go in with me?

    Dara, what’s the status on the hog?

    I think I’m gonna need a freezer chest.

    • Dara's avatar Dara says:

      I did not get the 1/2 hog as it was a lot of meat on top of the 1/2 deer I just got. The meat folks I use is Purely Farms, and they sell at the Stockton Farmers market. I have their retail cuts price list if you would like a look. I’d be into some grass fed beef tho (and if you want some venison, let me know, I got 40lbs of it!)

      • grzm's avatar grzm says:

        ooo, venison… Have you had any of it yet? Did you run it down yourself? (Your cred with me would go through the roof if that were the case :)) I’d be interested in trying some of the venison. I’ll leave my contact info at the desk at the gym. (Don’t know why, but I feel odd about leaving it on the blog.)

        I was just looking at Eat Wild. Looks like there are a lot of options. How long have you gone with Purely Farms?

        I’m also interested in Backyard Bison in Coopersburg.

        I’m getting hungry.

      • You two are making me hungry! I don’t know if I have room in the standard frig to split a 1/8 cow but that beef share sample pack may be calling my name!

        Good find Michael.

      • Dara's avatar Dara says:

        I had some of the ground venison the other night and did not find it too gamey, but I’ve not yet had any other cut. And no, I did not get my Paleo on and hunt this particular deer myself.
        I have been a Purely Farm customer for a couple years now. They have nice lamb meat (this weekend’s meal) and they have nitrate free bacon and ham.
        Count me in for 1/16th of a cow.

    50 pistols means i get to wipe out a goal from the goal board.

    18 muscle ups (3 full sets + 3) + 7 subbed

    18 MU in one day beats my previous record of 8, but next time I am finishing as RX’d.

  • John Donne – Meditation 17

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
