What did you say your front squat was at? Over 315# I think I read? If your pulling the bar to your chest with 260#, no doubt you should be able to clean 300# +! I also think, improving your timing by squatting under the bar will not only improve your power clean but your snatch as well.<br /><br />I am so excited for your gym!

My food selections are grass-fed/pastured meats and eggs, organic veggies, roots and tubers (the roots and tubers are the dense CHO source) and a hell of a lot of fat from pastured butter, coconut (milk, etc), avocado, and some nuts. Speaking in zone ratios, I'm probably 16-20 blocks of protein, 4-10 blocks of carbs, and descent chunk of fat. All the amounts vary due to activity, hunger levels, programming and sleep quality. It took me quite a while to shift from running mainly on carbs to fat, and about 8 months to really get the gluten out of my body.JJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654485860417583693.post-80552172823007102782010-08-23T13:52:03.702-04:002010-08-23T13:52:03.702-04:00@JJ - I hear that man, as stated in my posts, I am...@JJ - I hear that man, as stated in my posts, I am getting more and more that I may be the same way. How do you compensate for the inability to eat gluten? Do you intentionally increase your intake of something else? This is something I am learning more and more about, and am very curious how others go about getting properly fueled, while not being able to have certain foods.Josh Couragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315919010775330983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654485860417583693.post-12195167636262008232010-08-23T11:53:00.877-04:002010-08-23T11:53:00.877-04:00I read some of his stuff this weekend.

As a fellow coach and nutritional consultant, I'm constantly trying to learn as much as I can, and analyzing data from a trial like yours can do nothing but help me learn more. <br /><br />Why cant you eat red meat? What parts of the paleo diet worked and what did not. What was your reactions when you added food back in after 7 weeks off?

We've been citing health benefits of walkable/bikeable communities and denser land use development for years and everyone laughed at us. The only reason I can stay in planning is that I truly see things beginning to change slowly and I think the same is to be said for food policy, education and access.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603565279480331645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654485860417583693.post-89167096702052362912010-07-15T13:59:10.542-04:002010-07-15T13:59:10.542-04:00Jen,

The causes of the obesity epidemic lie in our food policy, materialism, preference for convenience and instant gratification, the way we build and our auto-dependence. This article was just posted today on Streetsblog: http://dc.streetsblog.org/2010/07/08/car-dependent-states-hit-hardest-by-obesity-epidemic/ Sprawl has even created access issues for our low-income and minority neighborhoods - grocery stores leave urban areas for the suburbs and corner stores don't stock fruits/veggies because they literally don't know how (there is a science to the way food is stored and laid out in a store to prevent it from ripening and rotting to quickly or reacting w/another fruit/veggie). Give healthy food to the poor and you're called a saint, ask why they don't have access to it and you're called a communist - go figure. <br /><br />The good: Things are changing. There is a movement for locally-grown, organic food. Grocery store health/organic sections are growing and there are more options - don't give Whole Foods more credit than they deserve, there are lots of other grocers out there doing the same thing but less corporate (food co-ops!). Farmers Markets have never been so popular either and community gardens can't keep up with the demand for plots. People are getting innovative in how they educate and bring fruits/veggies to under-served areas - in Albany the Capital District Community Gardens started a Veggie Mobile (http://www.cdcg.org/VeggieMobile.html). Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser and Jamie Oliver are getting their messages out to people. See Food Inc? Read Fast Food Nation? They are super insightful and explain a lot. At the national level there is an effort to get people more active - Michelle Obama's Lets Move campaign (http://www.letsmove.gov/) promotes physical activity and good nutrition. More people are demanding walkable communities and bicycle accommodations on their roadways and the federal transportation policies and legislation are supporting this with funding and mandates (its never been a better time to be a transportation planner... even if its in car-centric Albany!). <br /><br />I'll stop now... I could go on for hours.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603565279480331645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654485860417583693.post-78832748579838486062010-07-03T15:32:45.424-04:002010-07-03T15:32:45.424-04:00Good stuff Josh, never tried to filthy fifty, I ov...Good stuff Josh, never tried to filthy fifty, I overlooked it thinking it was easy!
