Ground to Overhead

During the ground-to-overhead movement today, did you go all out? Or did you pace it out?

What movements did you do to get it overhead?

Consider this the calm before the storm. Lots of dedicated SMR/mobility time today. How's everyone feeling from my birthday celebration week?!

I've got a paleo question for you guys. After doing some reading, it appears that low calcium levels are one of the drawbacks of a strict paleo diet. Now, I'm not exactly keeping to a *strict* paleo diet (I love my whiskey and salt makes everything taste better), but I'm staying pretty close to it. As a result, I've slimmed down in the waist and generally feel more healthy.

My question: what foods do you recommend to prevent calcium deficiencies?

Thanks!

Hey MB, great question. There are options that don't include going back to dairy. Some will require you to eat a lot of volume, but others pack a punch, assuming you don't want to take a calcium supplement to make sure you are getting enough.

Some greens have a lot of calcium such as kale, okra, spinach, and broccoli. Almonds also contain a good amount of calcium if you are already using them as a fat source. A few types of fish, especially sardines, contain a TON of calcium (and they are handy to travel with). Also, figs are high in calcium if you aren't avoiding fruits.

You should easily hit your 1,000 mg a day eating some sardines (or salmon), a good volume of dark green veggies, and some almonds.

Hope this helps
