Nutrition Challenge standings after 2 weeks

Current standings at the end of week 2 for the nutrition challenge. With more than 60% of the points still up for grabs it is any ones game.

Ways to earn points before the final.

Show up. Remember part of your score is based on how often you attend classes.
Keep a meal journal. you earn point not for the types of food you eat but instead for simply recording what you do eat and requesting a review from me once each week .
Bring a friend. A small amount of points is earned by you inviting people to Saturday classes. this is the only area where you can earn extra points in the competition.

Early Morning Squad. 3 of the top 6 currently
in the nutrition challenge attend this class on a regular basis
These three things can make a big difference before the final work out.

A couple of notes on the program. I spend a large amount of time coming up with the work outs for you guys designed to increase all areas of your fitness, Here a few things that can help you get the most out of it.

Come in early. I am at all classes at least 10 minutes early usually more like 15 or 20. Which is plenty of time for you to get in and complete the pre wod mobility and Foam rolling.

Know your progressions. If you can not do a movement then come in prepared to scale know where you stand on your progressions. If you cant so a muscle up then know your scaling and how you are supposed to be working towards them. Every thing you do in here should have a purpose.

Attack the strength work with intensity. Just because the clock is not on does not mean you shouldn't be working hard. A heavy set will get you out of breath and a true 10RM is a very tough thing to complete. move quickly in the beginning and make the most of your allotted time so that you can get the best score you are capable of.

On that note every day is not your best day. You will not always PR. However you should strive to lift the most you possible can every time you come in for strength, this way we are always getting stronger.
Also if I say the focus in on speed and not weight then we stop at a weight that allows us to move FAST, Speed Strength is a real attribute that needs to be developed. Lastly but most importantly if you cannot move well then you do not get to go heavy. Just because you feel like you can lift more does not mean that you should.

The metcons have a desired time domain. when you are in that time domain you put a very specific metabolic stress on your body. If you are un sure go lighter and faster, it is worth it.

And Finally the Post Wod LBN work is for fun, it is optional, and it is helpful  designed with a purpose, and all joking aside that purpose, is to make you fitter and stronger, better able to perform in the gym and outside it.
