Article:
Eating fish, nuts and olive oil may be associated with reduced risk of age-related blindness.
". . .After adjusting for age, sex and smoking, eating one serving of fish per week was associated with a 31 percent lower risk of developing early AMD. The association was stronger among individuals with a lower intake of linoleic acid, an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid found primarily in vegetable oils. Eating one to two servings of nuts per week was associated with a 35 percent lower risk of early AMD.
"In conclusion, our findings support the hypothesis that increased intake of omega-three polyunsaturated fatty acids and regular consumption of fish and/or nuts in the diet may protect against the development of early AMD," the authors write. These fatty acids may protect the eyes by preventing the buildup of plaque in the arteries or reducing inflammation, blood vessel formation and oxygen-related cell damage in the retina. . ."

Super B & S,
You have to let us know when your last WOD or at least visit to the shed is for us who can't make it on Saturday.

6am....Marnie was going big on front squats w/ #135, and Shar had perfect form.
Kevin, JKarno and Cabby went +#225 for the guys.
Karno hit #275 for 3
After we pushed Matt's Chevy Truck 1/2 mile around the track.
push 3 ways....
1) push up high on the bed using high knees
2) push low on the bumper using long strides for speed
3) turn your back to bed and burn out your quads w/ short choppy back peddels...
Super fun times.......great wod

What exactly is happening in that picture?
Posted by: Miles at May 13, 2009 7:22 AM

Can anyone find Waldo (aka Russ) in the background of the pic posted today? ;-) Bryan will be leaving on Sunday May 17th and you DCF is stuck with me until the June 4th. Don't worry- we'll be back to visit our friends and family (for those of you who don't know- Strong Meg and Super Bryan are siblings... and D-Roe is our brother-in-law... crazy DCF family triangle). Honestly- one of the things we're most sad about leaving is the gym! :-( If any of you are ever out in Colorado Springs- hit us up for some high altitude training! Ps- totally bummed I missed the truck pushing at Jimmy's class!

For all you Paleo's out there: if you don't/can't eat eggs, what are some other breakfast meals you can have?
Bryan and Shannon, sorry to hear you are leaving California and more importantly DCF but I wish you the best of success in Colorado.

930 and 1030 classes- Brook and Kaela PR'd !! WOW!! Way to go! You ladies are awesome!! Michele is working hard to perfect her squat form and doing an amazing job of it!! Great job, Adam!! Your squatting is lookin great! Awesome job from everyone!!
Posted by: sarah at May 13, 2009 12:53 PM
Adam:
Steak, sauteed ground beef, bacon, sausages, for protein (mix and match)
Spinach, broccoli, strawberries, are my usual 'carbs'.
But I will say that I eat about 6 - 8 eggs a day, so I might not be the best at giving options.

930 and 1030 classes- Brook and Kaela both PR'd!! So awesome!! Great job girlies!! Michele was working hard to perfect her squat form and doing a wonderful job!! Adam is really lookin good on his squat form as well! Keep up the hard work!!
Posted by: sarah at May 13, 2009 1:04 PM
What Sarah forgot to say was that Brook pr'd on her front squat by 20lbs! 115 max. She's got way more in her than she knows... just needed a little healthy peer pressure and encouragement. Great job Brook! It was fun to watch you surprise yourself.
For some reason I felt quite positive about trying to PR on heavy weight (usually Stav, Sarah or Julie are the ones making me try for higher max than I think I can do) I Pr'd by 10 lbs and finished at 125. Maybe I was listening to all the things I was telling Brook about trying for more than you think etc. Hmm... In any case, it's fun to watch the numbers go up and remember what amazing potential we have if we just try!
Adam.. the days I attempt paleo and don't have time to cook eggs, I often make a shake for me and the kids. fruit, nuts, flax seed, coconut milk, protein powder (not sure if that's paleo), water. Of course, you could add whatever you want and even freeze some ahead of time for when you're in a hurry.

30 muscle ups for time for me today (supposed to be a rest day)
7:19
Full lockout at bottom and top of each rep. Much harder (esp after my 100 pull ups for time Monday).
Then I did a sandbag carry of 400m (165# if I remember correctly), 3:10

Interesting definition of a rest day, but probably helps explain those results too...
Posted by: Mike P. at May 13, 2009 4:22 PM
JJ I did the Snatch sandbag WOD from the Great Basin Qualifier yesterday with a 100m sandbag carry after each round and I am wrecked today from it. Did you do the full 400m without dropping it?
Posted by: jorgy at May 13, 2009 5:06 PM
DCF has a 165 lbs. sandbag? Do we have a hand truck to use in case one of the non-mutant members needs to move it? :-)
Posted by: Rodil at May 13, 2009 5:08 PM
Adam: Spam for breakfast. Mmm.
I love Jaz's line: "on the days I attempt to eat paleo.". Me thinks most people "attempt" to eat paleo, Jazz. And, some just fail more often than others.
6x50m hill sprints (3up & 3down) + 10 rnds of ctb Cindy (14:16).
Posted by: Craig at May 13, 2009 6:55 PM
I did that full 400 165 sandbag carry the other day. without dropping it. Don't know time, but it hurt. And if you drop it forget it, no way i could have gotten it back up after having it on my back for that long
Posted by: Darren at May 13, 2009 7:32 PM
Best of luck to you Brian and Shannon.

The Super Strong Stornetta's will be deeply missed at DCF!!!!
Posted by: Yvonne at May 13, 2009 10:01 PM
I lost count at 23.
Posted by: jorgy at May 14, 2009 12:05 AM
No setting it down. It is the same bag I carried for a mile a year or so ago.
The hardest part I think is getting it up, after that just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Good times.
How did you place Jorgy?
-jj
Posted by: Jeremy Jones at May 14, 2009 12:40 AM
I'm not sure. I looked at the WOD on the video and it had no description for the weight of the sandbag or the actual distance of the run. I did my version in a little over ten minutes. I think Speil did his in around 6.
