Off of PR of 21+1. Next time I will not go to failure on the push-ups so early. I should do 5-3-2 when I feel push-ups getting difficult. I have a little ways to go to get to my goal of 24.

The trendy paleo diet—which champions the wild plant and animal meals of our heavy-browed, cave-dwelling ancestors—gets the fast-casual treatment at this 80-seat Union Square eatery and market dedicated to preindustrial, processing-phobic food.
Diet tags: Paleo, vegan, vegetarian, juicing
The scene: Office workers in search of a Subway alternative mix with postworkout yogis in the bi-level space. On the second floor—which recalls a tree house—flickering imitation candles cast a warm glow at Indonesian wood tables.
The drinks: An in-house line of juices ($8-$10) make for bracing midday pick-me-ups: The bright green, antioxidant-rich Demi-Verte (kale, cucumber, apple, celery, lime) blends cool vegetal tones with a hint of cider sweetness. Smoothies ($9)—like the brisk Cool Carrot, which combines the root vegetable with banana, mango, lemon and lime—and a short list of wine cocktails similarly balance Greenmarket flavors with aplomb.
The fare: A snack bar, shelves of packaged healthy foodstuffs and a hot-plates counter cater to the ’hood’s grab-and-go sensibility. Snack on a cup of fiber-heavy almond butter ($5), showered with crunchy nut-and-seed granola and glistening chunks of kiwi. A coconut-sugar-brined rotisserie chicken breast ($9)—tasty, though a tad dry—was overshadowed by the sides: Roasted, succulent pieces of pineapple ($3.50) dipped in rich cashews and an earthy mound of steamed rainbow chard ($3.50) dotted with onions make you wonder if cavemen were really that bad off after all.
Health-nut cred: A large TV screen broadcasts nutrition facts and gung ho admonitions like, “Get back to human!” 78 Fifth Ave at 14th St (212-510-8919, hukitchen.com)
Last time did 11 rds with push-ups from the knees for half of the rounds, so this time around just focused on full on push-ups. By the end was doing them one-at-a-time. Could barely hold up my coffee on the way to work but seem to have recovered a bit now
I’m going to go with 15+13 rx because I know SpeedDemonBaril was ahead of me by at least two rounds and I’m pretty sure she miscounted as well.
Either way, Im happy. PR of at least 3 rounds.
@Paige/Ang – HAHAHAH i died laughing when I saw that. That would make for a spicy kind of WOD

Off of PR of 21+1. Next time I will not go to failure on the push-ups so early. I should do 5-3-2 when I feel push-ups getting difficult. I have a little ways to go to get to my goal of 24.
20 rounds (PR). Up from 18 on 3/12/2012.
Air squats felt great and can be faster, push ups got rough in the last few rounds.
Thanks AmyLynne and Jared for the push.
16 rounds subbed one-arm push-ups on the reverse-hyper and one-arm ring rows.
Amylynne – I checked your results and it looks like that is a PR. And you KNOW I would tell you if it wasn’t. (-;
