Today begins our first "Leaning" Challenge!! Everyone who wishes to participate should have already handed over the results of the InBody test. These results will be posted up on a section of white board for review. The contest will culminate on March 19th. Participants will have until the following Monday, March 22nd, to hand in their retest. The results will be tallied and posted no later than Friday March 26th.
To reiterate, we are going to be looking for the greatest percentage of change between the two tests. For example, a drop from 10%BF to 7.5%BF is a greater percent change than a drop from 20% to 16%.
To assist you in making better choices regarding food intake we are providing two PDF files describing how best attack this challenge. The first is a document from Dave Werner of CrossFit Seattle, "What Do I Eat?" We also have a general food list you can use to build your grocery list around.
TTOD The following information, provided by Centurian CrossFit and CrossFit LA, will guide everyone on how to take care of their hands in order to help prevent torn calluses. It also provides information on taping your hands if you are suffering from a current tear. Good athletic tape can be purchased at WalMart for less than 6 bucks, although we try to have some on hand at the gym. Be sure to bookmark this information and review often. Hand tears are a pain in the arse and make it rather difficult to complete a workout that includes holding onto something.
