BJ's new 2010 Rogue Do-wins. If you're serious about CF - sooner than later you should get a pair of lifting shoes. Rogue's ($120) or VsAthletics ($75) (both links on the bottom right) work great!

Neither Lisa nor Anne could to push-ups or pull-ups when they first started! Now they're both at 10+ pull-ups and now each can do Ring Dips which is a huge accomplishment! Muscle up is next.

Pull-ups max reps (or do 3x5 Pull-ups with bands), then

Bench Press 5-5-5, then

Paleo Energy mix for the CFEvo competitors before being packed into smaller containers. The most delicious energy mix/snack I ever tasted (and others agreed with me after trying). Moderate in carbs, high in fat - perfect when you need a lot of energy in a compact form.

Ingredients that I've used:
Shredded Coconut ($2.50 per bag at Chamberlains)
Coconut Chips (same deal) - adds different consistency
Macademia Nuts
Slivered Almonds (or any nut mix without peanuts would do)
Whole Almonts
Frozen Mixed Berries.

Mix the ratios at your own liking. Awesome stuff!

CFEvo Crew Rocks!

Andrew, Britt, Lindsey qualified through the Florida Sectionals (I think that's more people from one gym than from any other). Leo is prequalified from last year. These four will represent CFEvo at the Regionals in Jax, May 29-30! I'm very proud of the entire CFEvo team - everybody got PR's, represented well & hopefully had a great time (hard to do when you have to do 4 workouts in 2 days all out). Also special thanks goes to all the members that came out & cheered on the competitors & John for being an awesome judge and help making this past weekend such an awesome experience!

Practice Shoulder Stands & Handstands on the parallettes & rings, then

4 rounds for time of:
300 m Run
20 Air Squats
15 KB Swings (24/16)
10 GHD Sit-ups

Following The Florida Sectionals

Above: The Daily Plate - Food Diary page (an example for an average female trying to lean out)
Below: Pen & Paper style WAM (breakdowns for an average male trying to improve performance & body comp, or a large male trying to lean out).
Same effect - slightly different approaches. 

NOTICE: Gym is closed on Friday & Saturday due to Florida CF Games Sectional competition in West Palm Beach. Wish good luck to all the CFEvo athletes!

To follow the performance of our crew online - go to Leo's Twitter - I'll be updating it quite often & will try to post up on Facebook when I can.
