Drink Thirty

Nicky likes his drink in a big boy glass

From time to time, we all savor a little "Who Hit John" and deservedly so after a fanny waxin WOD or 36 hole grinder on a summer day. Keep in mind, moderation, moderation, moderation. If you're running lean Paleo, a couple beers will pretty much blow up your day. Timing helps as well.

I shoot for packing in 70% of my daliy carbs during post WOD meals during which time those carbs are helping to open the pathways to your muscles so the protien can be driven home. Any meal other than post WOD with even moderate levels of carbs and you'll see this gater draggin his tail around. - RP

Beer-Thirty !!

Careful what you wish for. This ol' boy could improve his fitness dramitcally by getting his own beer.

Breaking News: Since that trip across the pond, I've not been able to get Murphy's Stout off the brain. Wiht the exception of 2 places I know of who carry it on tap, you can only get a home stash from Lucas out south on 119th St. The canned version tastes nothing like the real-deal but luckily this weekend I discovered something that satisfies my cravings. Make no mistake, it's not Murphy's but has similar characteristics and unique flavor. Check with your local suds salesman to see if they stock Left Hand Brewing's Milk Stout. It's Legit.

I'm currently working on an IPA taste testing mission. Results to follow in the next couple weeks.
