Forget about plain Chocolate Milk
Chocolate Milk is one of the most under appreciated sports drinks out there, six-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps was seen chugging down liters of the stuff at the world championships where he crushed his own world record by more than 2 seconds.
At CrossFit we turn thing up a little on conventional wisdom, to this end I would like to name Spicy Hot Chocolate the official sports drink of CrossFit Oakland.
Post your first Spicy Hot CrossFit workout to comments (For me it was the first time I did Fran as Rx’d I knew I was on to something that would change my life)

yes, spicy hot chocolate rules. ever since the movie "chocolat" (don't laugh) I'd been obsessed with spicy hot chocolate. i even bought an entire chocolate cook book just for one recipe. also, BITTERSWEET on college ave has killer spicy hot chocolate.

Thanks to Shira for coaching me through my first muscle-up. Congratulations to Aaron, Tim, Theresa and Raven for getting their first ones today.
I think I may have hit on a good method for getting people the muscle-up. No film, as of yet, but I am confident many more people will get it using my secret, patented, proprietary, oops I mean "open-source", of course, method.
It should also work to get pretty much everyone a kipping pull-up pretty soon.

Also, special kudos to Theresa, I think everyone who saw her muscle-up would agree that was an amazing display of grit, determination, will power and simply amazing power to weight ratio. She got a it from a stalled position with her clavicle at the bar. Incredible!!

Please don't tease about finally getting that elusive kipping pull-up... it is just too cruel

Chocolate milk? Personally I think milk is bad for you and feel a whole lot better since I stopped drinking it.
