Hang power snatch: 2-2-2-2-2-2

A hang power snatch is performed from standing with the bar at the hips, lowering the bar to mid-thigh, then lifting the bar and receiving it in the power position (a partial squat, hips above knees). Use a weight that allows you to make a controlled descent of the bar from overhead back to the hang position.  Focus on balance and speed.

Nutrition for Kids

Almost every parent worries about what their children are eating, whether it's the amount, the timing of meals or the nutritional content.  Somehow...they still manage to grow up!

Here's a collection of articles from the Whole9 people, who base their nutritional advice on the paleo diet.  These five posts focus on instilling kids with good food habits and how to transition them to a healthier diet if they are on the wrong track.
*Special thanks to Brandi for this collection of articles.

Whole30 Notes (Day 31)

Congratulations on completing the Whole30 challenge! If you haven't already, please take the time to provide some comments on your experience either here on on the WOD Blog. A number of our athletes are curious about Whole30, but are hesitant to commit and try it out themselves. Your insights can be very helpful...for example:
  • Did you achieve your goals?
  • How did it make you feel (energy levels, mood)? Any physical changes you observed? 
  • How has your WOD performance changed? 
  • Did you identify any food incompatibilities that you weren't aware of previously?
  • Is it hard? Or did you fall into a rhythm easily? Did you spend more money on groceries? Did you drive your family crazy, or were they on board?
  • How do you think it has changed your approach to diet and nutrition going forward?
If you want to review past daily notes, they are available in archived form here. A few last resources...

Whole30 Notes (Day 30)

This adventure is almost over...or is it? Think about what you might want to reintroduce. Follow the Whole30 reintroduction schedule carefully; it takes 10 days but don't ruin all your hard work by being impatient. Don't reintroduce foods that you just don't miss. Evaluate the goals you set on day zero. How did you do?

Whole30 Notes (Day 29)

A real life success story: YOU. Are you ready to do an AAR on your Whole30? What went well, what could have gone better, what you will do next time??? 

Whole30 Notes (Day 28)

Hopefully you are feeling so good that you've lost track of the days. Have you been sharing all that you learned with friends and family? 

Whole30 Notes (Day 27)

You've only got a few more days left! Think about other ways you can change your life in 30 days. Focus on getting more sleep, doing something for your own personal growth, having a better attitude, engaging in active recovery exercises (mobility, etc.)...just to name a few ideas.

Read this coffee manifesto and consider taking a caffeine holiday for 30 days.

Whole30 Notes (Day 26)

Do you feel befuddled by the conflicting health information you read in the paper, see on the Internet, and hear on your local morning radio show? While the media can provide you with valuable information, you can't believe everything you read!


Whole30 Notes (Day 25) 

Are you getting tired of eggs for breakfast? Try some of these favorites shared by other Whole30 participants:




Whole30 Notes (Day24)

By now, the old adage of "you are what you eat" is starting to ring true. The vibrant healthy foods you are putting inside your body are starting to show on the outside. Now that you are scrutinizing your food, consider doing the same thing with your personal care and household products.



Whole30 Notes (Day 23)

How exactly would you tell others about the Whole30? Try this elevator speech:
"Eat real food like meat, vegetables, fruit. Choose foods that are nutrient dense and aim for well-balanced nutrition. It's not a diet but a lifestyle."
More importantly, lead by example. How? Start a blog, start a book club, offer your time, create local resources, or be a buddy. Be patient with unsupportive friends and family. Start by reading this article.

Whole30 Notes (Day 22)

Now it's time to start thinking about how you will behave without the safety net of the Whole30 rules. The Whole30 is just the beginning. We will discuss more in the upcoming days about how to re-introduce foods to your diet. You might be searching for more life-changing information. Expand your horizons with some additional reading.

Whole30 Notes (Day 21)

Three weeks into the challenge. Great work!
If you haven't already, check out fastpaleo.com. New recipes are always being added, and many are whole30 approved.


Whole30 Notes (Day 20)

Is the media sabotaging your whole30? You should critically analyze the health messages you are constantly receiving. Approximately 25% of commercials we see/hear send some sort of attractiveness message. You may not even know that you are being influenced and how it affects your food choices. Now that you are kicking the junk off your plate, take some time and put some thought into kicking the junk off your screen as well.

Whole30 Notes (Day 16)

Congratulations on making it to the downhill half of your whole30! Most people start seeing changes in their health and well-being at this point; specifically, you might be sleeping more soundly, feeling more energetic, your clothes are fitting better, and your performance in the gym has improved. Both your body and your brain are adapting to the dietary changes you have made.

Whole30 Notes (DAY 15)

Hooray, halfway there! How will you celebrate your success? Instead of using food as a reward, try something new. Get a massage, buy a new belt (to hold up your pants that are getting baggy), or treat yourself to that kettlebell you have had your eye on.

At this point, some commonly asked questions tend to come up:
