Week 7: Question of the Week

What have you made for dinner this week?

 

 

At the Eberhardt House, we've had

 

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Grilled Chicken with Rice & Veggies

Pineapple Black Bean Enchiladas

and Butternut Squash Soup

 

As you can see, I'm a big soup fan, especially during the winter months.  It's an easy way to pack in extra veggies and makes for a great lunch the next day.  Add a good side salad and maybe a slice of bread and I'm a happy girl. 

 

I have had this request from a few people and I think it's a great idea! 

Steve Avery set up an initial CFSV food blog.  I have the link to the right in the "Quick Links" section.  Many of you have great recipes that you make often or others want.  So please, send me some of your favorites or "go-tos" and I'll post them for us all to enjoy!



Week 7: Team WOD

Top Individuals...Sorta

The winning individual will be based on many different criteria including:

body fat lost, weight lost (if necessary), inches lost/gained, improvements to fit test, improvements to before/after pictures, and total points. 

 

The winner will have been successful at most of the criteria listed above.

 

Based on your stats from the halfway measurements and the points from today, I wanted to give just a small glimpse into some of the leaders in various categories:

(Say that 10 times fast)

 

3-Person Team

300 push-ups

150 chest-to-bar

300 pull-ups

150 handstand push-ups

30 minutes of plank

30,000m rowing

500 push-ups

250 chest-to-bar

500 pull-ups

250 handstand push-ups

50 minutes of plank

50,000m rowing

 

 

 

Now for the details...

You may divide these up however you would like;

ideally it would be divided up equally among team members.

 

 

Push-Ups: You can do these at the gym or at home, so please make sure you really work on FIT Test form. Straight body, chest to floor, no worming or help with legs.  Considering you have an entire week to accomplish 100 push-ups, I want you to really concentrate on your form...quality over quantity.

 

 

 

Chest-to-Bar: Take your typical way of doing pull-ups, and make it 1 step easier.

For example, if you typically use a gray band, then do these jumping.

If you typically use a red band, then go to a blue band. (Is that the next one?)

If you can Rx pull-ups, then use a red band.

If you can already Rx chest-to-bar, then work at pulling yourself even higher (think navel to bar).

Really work on pulling hard and make sure that your chest (nipple line) hits the bar with each rep.

 

 

 

Pull-Ups:  Take your typical way of doing pull-ups (jumping, band, etc) and make it 1 step harder.

 

For example, if you typically do jumping pull-ups, go to a gray band. 

If you typically use a red band, do them with no band...even if your chin doesn't quite go over the bar.

If you can already Rx your pull-ups, then work on how many you can string together and don't stop until you hit that number each time.

 

Handstand Push-Ups:  You may use a box or mats against the wall if needed. 

 

Plank:  Any kind of plank for any increments of time you would like. 

 

Row:  Must do at least 1000m each time you row to count towards your total meters. 

You are welcome to do more, but it won't count if you do any less. 

 

 

If your team completes the required amount, you will each receive 25 points for this week.
