“Alcohol is far more harmful than most people think, and it’s very important that you understand how this drug (yes, alcohol is a drug) is affecting your progress. This is not an anti-drug speech, but if you’re serious about achieving a truly impressive physique, you should definitely be aware of the 5 main ways that alcohol is slowing down your gains.” (Click on the link below to read the 5 ways.)

And now, for something a little different…

On the minute every minute for 7 minutes perform 5 squat clean thrusters (F=65, M=95) – be fast and aggressive; you must choose a weight that will challenge you mentally on the last few sets; it has to be the same weight every set and it has to be unbroken (you cannot let go of bar).


rest 3 minutes EXACTLY


On the minute every minute for 5 minutes perform 10 challenging chin ups (if you can do 10 chest to bar easy, do them weighted, if chin ups alone are challenging do them); they have to be unbroken.


rest 1 minute EXACTLY


On the minute every minute for 3 minutes perform 25 unbroken sit ups – unanchored, hands at temples


2010 is a few days away. Who’s being resolved this year? What are you resolving? Post thoughts to comments.


Also – more paleo recipes, this time from CrossFit Milford. Many thanks to Greengas for passing this along.

Five rounds of:

Hang Clean, 12 reps
Ring Dips, 12 reps

Pick load for hang cleans and keep it for all five rounds.

Divide hang clean weight by number of seconds to completion for total score. Post score in comments.

Scoring the workout in this manner dramatically rewards and motivates greater strength, power, stamina, and cardiorespiratory endurance.

Are you still running with the “30 days of something challenge”? How’s it going? For the rest of you – what’s the ratio of how often you eat well for performance and how often you eat whatever? 80/20? 2 days out of 7? Post thoughts to comments.

Will one day of “bad” eating wreck your entire plan?

Also, if you’re recovering from the holiday binge… check out Mark Sisson’s referral to many other posts on attempting to have a healthy holiday.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
