Bodyweight day. After some strict pull-up practice to build pulling strength the finisher was pure cardiorespiratory endurance. This was a good shift after a few high intensity max effort type workouts this week. Over the next two months as we approach the Open we will see more of a shift in the conditioning workouts to focus on intervals or rep schemes that lend itself to max efforts at a higher intensity as well as those that emphasize endurance.

Today was our third Stop the Slop Performance WOD Challenge. We will re-test this WOD in 30 days and for those who entered the challenge we will measure the % improvement in times and the winner will get a portion of the prize money (the winner of the Nutrition Challenge will also share in the prize money). For the next month the focus of “Stop the Slop” is not only to eat right, but also to clean up technique and form. Use this time to work on becoming more efficient in movements, transitions, and rest.
This year I changed the programming slightly to allow for a workout that is still similar to “Baseline” and past Stop the Slop WOD’s but mixes it up to allow for a faster flow. Having two lifts this year with 10 reps each that are spread out (instead of one with higher reps in the middle) and not going from squats into the final run meant less rest overall and more movement. Cutting the pull-ups slightly but adding chest-to-bar still made them challenging and also upped the intensity. This variation overall seemed like a fun combination. If you need to “buy-in” then see your coach to sign up and fork over your cash. Looking forward to seeing the improvement in a month!

It’s time for our annual Stop the Slop Challenge! It starts TODAY! If you need to weigh-in then please make it up tomorrow with your coach before you workout.
What is Stop the Slop?
It’s our 30 Day Gym-wide Challenge to clean up your eating and increase your fitness level. There are 2 sides to the challenge. You can do one (recommended), both (highly recommended), or neither (not recommended). It is a community building event designed to help all of us be more accountable to start the new year off right. It helps drive you into the gym, eat better, make goals and see results. By doing this as a gym, you will get help, encouragement, support, new food recipes or ideas, and just have FUN while doing it!
Nutrition Challenge:
You can complete/attempt a Whole30 (recommended if you haven’t done one; see us for the Whole9 Nutrition Guide/Whole30 Booklet), or eat nutritious and more paleo food choices, and/or complete a cleanse, or cut out whatever bad food vices/demons that you have been thinking about trying to beat.
Performance Challenge:
This challenge is a baseline type measurement WOD that will be programmed on Tuesday, 1/6 for all classes (make-ups on Wed). You will test yourself and record your time and whatever your scale was (RX/scale). After 30 days we will re-test the same WOD using the same scale to measure % time improvement. Ideally your nutrition choices have been strict and healthier for the past 30 days which will help you realize improvement as well in your fitness/performance.
Who should participate and is there a cost?
EVERYONE should do it. The cost is $25 per challenge for anyone who wishes to try and win either challenge for most % improvement. For the Nutrition Challenge we will measure % bodyweight lost. Weigh-in is on Monday 1/5 (make-up Tuesday 1/6). After 30 days we will have a final weigh-in and crown the winner with the highest % lost. For the Performance challenge it is the most % time improvement on the Stop the Slop WOD. We will pool all entry money into the pot and share the winnings with cool prizes for each winner.
