New Year...New You - GTXSC Challenge

On Jan 2 we will begin a 45 day challenge that will help all of you transform your lives. Up to this point we have primarily focused on learning to move, getting stronger, and getting faster. This challenge will take it a huge step further by adding in nutrition.

The challenge will comprise of three parts -
- 60% of the scoring will be based on 6-8 benchmark workouts
- 25% of the scoring will be based on improvements in body composition
- 15% of the scoring will be based on logging everything you eat for 45 days

Here are the rules -
- you must come to either the 12/31, 1/2, 1/3, or 1/7 workouts to get your beginning measurements and receive a copy of the rules.
- you must be at the workout on 1/7, 1/9, and 1/10 to do the starting benchmark workouts or arrange to make them up that week.
- you must be at the 2/18, 2/20, and 2/21 workouts to complete the same benchmark workouts again.
- you must pay your entry fee for the competition by the end of January (100% of the money is going back to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place athletes in the competition).
- you must write down everything you eat for the entirety of the challenge. I would prefer that your food logs be posted to the website on a daily basis, but if you are unable to do that you may turn in hard copies at least once per week at the workouts. If you choose to turn in hard copies you must still write down everything as you eat it and not wait until the day you turn it in and try to remember everything.
- you can follow whatever eating plan you would like as long as you write everything down. You will not be penalized for making poor eating choices, but you will definitely be penalized if you don't write something down that you ate, or fail to turn in a food log.

That's it! The rest is optional, but highly recommended-
- consistently attend workouts during the 45 days.
- we highly recommend you follow the whole9's whole30 program for the nutrition portion. You can read the details here: http://whole9life.com/2012/08/the-whole30-program/
- There are definitely other programs that will work, but based on years of experience and trying lots of different things, this is what we recommend.

The scoring will be covered in detail over the next week.

To be performed some time between Friday and Sunday:

8 Rounds Tabata of -
- Push-Ups (chest touches the ground at the bottom and arms lock out on top)

Tabata is 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest.  In other words your push-up tabata would look like this:



Note: Greg doesn't touch his chest to the ground every time, but that doesn't mean I don't expect you to.

Mountain Climbers:



Note: minimum standard  is knees touching elbows.  Ideally I'd like you to get closer to having your feet even with your hands.

Post all 8 rounds of push-ups and mountain climbers.  Do not rest more than 2 minutes between the 2 different movements.

Sunday AM Workout Cancelled

No 6 am workout on Sunday. There is a weekend workout posted that you can do in its place if you'd like.

Friday, September 28, 2012

Weekend Workout

You can do the following workout anytime between now and Monday on your own with nothing but a stop watch and your legs.

6 Rounds -
- Run 400m
- Rest 2 min.

Post all 6-400m times trying to keep them within 5 seconds of each other.  For every second outside of 5 seconds slower or faster than your first 400 perform 1 burpee after the workout.  Hypothetical example:

1 - 1:27
2 - 1:31 - 4 seconds off, no burpees
3 - 1:26 - 1 second off, no burpees
4 - 1:34 - 7 seconds off, 2 burpees after the workout
5 - 1:41 - 14 seconds off, 9 burpees after the workout
6 - 1:35 - 8 seconds off, 3 burpees after the workout

I had a total of 14 penalty burpees, so I would rest a couple of minutes after my last 400m and then do those burpees.  If your burpees are greater than 25, just do 25.

Have a good weekend!

100 Day Double Under Challenge

Hey Guys,

I'm doing this challenge and thought some of you may want to join me.  It is a 100-day double under challenge that started yesterday.  The basics are that you do 1 double under the first day, 2 double unders the second, .... until you get to the 100th day.  It will be good practice for your double unders and supports a good cause.  It started yesterday, so today is technically day 2 and you would do 2 double unders today.



You can read more information about the challenge and purchase a package if you'd like here:

My double under deal with all of you is still on and this would be great practice for getting your free customized rope:

Double Under Deal

You may have noticed that we are doing Double Unders a lot in workouts lately.  I know many of you sub singles in, but single jump ropes are really a completely different movement and fatigue different muscles than double unders. I know sometimes all you need is a little motivation to learn something new so we are going to start a new challenge.  This will remain in affect for as long as I can afford it:

If you can demonstrate to me 35 consecutive double unders then I will buy you a custom jump rope built to your specifications from RX Jump Ropes.

Just let me know when you are ready and you can show me before or after class.  However, you only get 3 attempts and then you can't try again for a week, so make sure you are ready before you demonstrate them for me.

2 Rounds Standard Warm-Up

then

Strength: Back Squat

then

For Time:
5 Rounds -
- 100m Sandbag Run

If you are able to make it a little early tonight I would like to move most (if not all) of the equipment into the container before the workout.  I will start on that process at about 6:30, but if you make it before then both sides will be unlocked and you can start moving it over.  We will need the weights, bars, and sandbags for tonight so those don't need to move until after the workout.

Tuesday, September 4, 2012 - Bike/Run

We will not have a workout today, but I will be doing my final training ride for my triathlon next weekend followed by a run both leaving from the church.  The ride will be about 10 miles and the run will be about 4-5.  If anyone is interested in joining me for both or either please text me and let me know.  I will probably start riding about 6:30 and start the run about 7.
