JP pulling elbows high in the Sumo Deadlift High Pull!  Do you think about your technique during your workout?  I highly doubt that you can concentrate that long on your technique as you are gasping for air and just trying to survive the workout!  So, what do you do to fix your bad technique?  You work on it before/after the WOD!  Take a PVC, a broomstick, a golf club, whatever you can find and practice these lifts.  The only way to get better at a movement is to do it over and over again.  If there is a certain lift that you struggle with, let me help you!  Ask me to watch your technique and I can give you some pointers to think about.  If you find yourself flaring up a low back, shoulder, or knee whenever you do a certain movement, get on the PVC pipe and work your technique.  Your body has the amazing ability to remember movement patterns, therefore the more you do them, the better you can perform!

Romaine lettuce as a bread substitute?

Eating a sandwich?  Want a Paleo Burger at a cookout?  Or have a craving for that “ball park” HotDog?  Forget the bun and wrap it up in romaine lettuce leaves.  Really, how good is that hard, stale, tasteless bun anyway?  Give yourself a little crunch and an abundant source of nutrients by substituting with romaine lettuce leaves!

Ideas for romaine lettuce sandwich meals:

Chicken salad
Tuna salad
Egg salad
Gouda slices with a bit of apple
Bacon, tomato with mayo
Beef/Buffalo/Turkey Hot Dogs
Turkey and Goat Cheese

My favorite party snack is baby romaine (finger sized) with diced chicken and cashews, like PF Chang’s lettuce wraps!
