Perform unbroken with pvc, or any weight barbell:

Then 2 rounds, 3 reps each unbroken of:

Do you know what it takes to be a CHAMPION?

The EIE Challenge starts one week from today.  There are so many things you need to take care of before the challenge starts.  You will continue to be reminded on the blog, via email, outside and inside the gym, friends, family, neighbors, and of course the coaches that you need to get ready to dominate your specific goal. 

Here’s a few things to think about going forward with the week leading up to the challenge and a couple tips to help you though.

Take advantage of the food services at PCF.  As Gretchen and Diso mentioned earlier in the week, make sure to take advantage of all of the nutritional services the gym provides.  Brian’s Bowls are awesome; super tasty and super convienient.  Venice Merchant Produce is also a great service that provides fresh produce delivered to the box weekly.  If you’re looking for quality meat, US Wellness is the only place I go to for grass fed beef.

Try to surround yourself with like-minded individuals or groups during the challenge.  Friends are great but they can also have a tendency to make you do things you may not want to do; like get wasted on a Friday night or stay up late watching movies and eating ice cream.  Last year, many of the members got together and had their own little potluck’s on Friday and Saturday nights to help stay focused on their goals.  I even got invited to a couple!  Community support works like magic.

The most important thing during this challenge is to make your home/kitchen a safe zone.  If you plan on eating super clean then make sure there is nothing that will tempt you.  Take time this weekend and go through your fridge, freezer, cupboard, and the secret stash under your bed and rid all of those unhealthy, oh so good, if you eat it you’ll feel guilty- food.  

Good luck and remember to have fun.  I promise if you stress out to much you will more than likely fail or not be as successful as you could.  Get proper sleep, eat clean, show up to the box, do yoga once/twice a week, and believe in yourself.  You can do anything for 6 weeks.

Stay tuned, there will be more tools and tips for you to use on your journey.
