I didn’t get a chance to hear it… Brit is officially a DMH employee and is working out at our facility while he is in town… He does mainly strength work with Mini-WOD’s and his agility stuff…
Patrick – Definitely don’t think Snicker’s Marathon Bars are Paleo friendly As for me, its a good thing I didn’t eat anything this morning, because y’all would have seen it during the workout.
As much as this morning’s workout SUCKED for me. I know it was really good for me. I wish I had the courage to punish myself with more workouts of that intensity/duration.
32:46 20lbs/20″ Had alot of abdominal and hip flexor soreness from Saturday’s WOD (situps, flutter kicks, burpees)so the initial set of box jumps was rough but I got stronger as the WOD progressed. I agree with Gregg in that anything ingested pre-WOD would be need to be cleaned up post-WOD. Also I recollect through conversation with Ken the benefits of short duration fasts (12-18 hours) and that the best time to break the fast is post-WOD. What do those in the know feel about this?
As far as eating, I usually don’t before the morning workouts, but I knew if I did not eat before this one, I would have been on the ground, so I woke up early and ate a banana 1 1/2 hours prior.
Patrick I’ve been doing a granola bar before the 5am workout…no scientific reason it’s just something I can eat in the car on the way and it fills me up enough to not feel like I’m working out on an empty stomach.
Thanks everyone for the eating suggestions. The Snickers Marathon bar did start feeling pretty heavy during round 4. I might try switching to bananas. I’m not sure how I would feel working out on an empty stomach…
…but, I am sure its better than the day I slammed a can of V8 pre WOD!
Excellent job done today at noon-fifteen… Had a duel between the FD and PD… And for all of you that thought you “couldn’t do it”… Stop thinking that way!!! YOU DID IT!!!
A lot of debate on pre-workout/post workout nutrition. The best advice I have recieved is tinker and record results. I usually eat right before I sleep to improve REM and then fast for the next 10-12 hours. I then break the fast post workout by consuming 2-3 cups of whole milk. This gives me about half of my daily carbs post workout. I then eat a regular paleo meal about 45min-hour later. I started doing this after some stuff I read on Rob Wolf’s blog and on the PANU site. It took some getting use to, but it is better than thinking that all the blood in my body is near my stomach for digestion instead of in my hands, feet, and head for burpee pull ups. I don’t think this is the best for weight-loss, but I think it is the best for recovery for me. I noticed improved sleep, performance, and quicker recovery.
Hey Fink…liked the shout-out from Miller on WAND Sunday night. Is he doing crossfit in the off season???
30:55, 20″ & 20lbs
Anybody have recommendations on what to eat/drink pre 5am workout?
I am testing the Snicker’s Marathon Bar out this week 1/2 hour before workout.

38:27 16# ball was all that was left, which turned out to be fortunate, because it still was knocking me off balance near the end of this thing.
Very nice workout.
