One thing I’ve found doing the Whole30 is that it’s always easier to do it with someone else. Same goes for training – It’s easier/better when you don’t have to do it all by your lonesome. If you’re in a relationship getting through the Whole30 is going to be much more doable if you have the full support of your partner. It’s even better if their actually doing it with you.
My wife Becca hasn’t jumped on board this time around although her diet is pretty dang clean anyway. She just wanted the freedom to be able to go out to a cafe every now and then and sit down and enjoy a smoothie of some description and perhaps a slice of tasty sourdough. While Becca isn’t doing it this time round my daughter Madelyn(13) is and the cool thing is that she can cook too.
If she’s not busy cooking up extra sweet potato wedges then I’ll jump in and make some. She’s got grilled chicken thighs down to an art and it’s always a battle to see who can come up with the best meatballs. Becca fully supports us when she cooks too making Whole30 compliant dinners when Mads or I aren’t on. I love my girls – they’re the best!
Food & Training
7:15am – wake – Had a really good sleep last night (was in bed @ 10pm) – woke up happy and refreshed
7: 30am – coffee – double shot espresso (not because I needed it but because I love my Breville Dual Boiler @ home and wanted to use it)

11:30am – pre train fuel – Mad Mex naked burrito (double chicken + guacamole – no extras) then some almond butter back at the gym + espresso

BBG
snatch double @ 50,70,80,90(F 2nd),90(f),90(f), 85(f) // 1 @ 72.5(90%), 1 @ 75(95%)
— warm up lifts felt good so I thought it was gonna be a good day, then after failing my 2nd lift @ 90 (got the first) seemed to lose all my energy and bombed out on everything after that 🙁
Strength
Back squat 3RM @ 100(5),110(5),120(3),130(3),140(3),150(2 – would’ve failed the 3rd) // 3@140(95%),3@135(90%)

After nailing a single [leg lock] for a practice rope climb I wasn’t able to replicate in the wod and had to do multiple’s to touch the top of the rope 🙁 // probably would have done the burpees even slower than I didn’t have Jake hot on my heels (thanks mate)
