Aimee will run a kick off meeting at 5:30PM on Monday 10/3 in the lobby...you do not have to attend the meeting in order to compete. But you should review this Zone in the CrossFit Journal 21.
2. The Bench Off: Inspired by Jay E and Chris S. We will run two challenges and the score combined will determine the official Bench champion!

I would like to compete in the WAM-10 Challenge. Do I have to use blocks, or can I use the macronutrient values instead?
ReplyDeleteWe are going hard core with Blocks Dorothy :)
ReplyDeleteAimee,
ReplyDeleteIs there a preferred spreadsheet or format you'd like submissions in for ease of review?
ok. Anyone know how many blocks are in a marshmallow? (Ha Ha! Just kidding)
ReplyDeletewhat is the difference between blocks vs. macronutrient values, for the uninitiated?
ReplyDeletea block is just a way to define a certain amount of each macronutrient, keeping a ratio of 40%CHO/30%PRO/30%FAT for caloric load. 1 block of carb = 9g, protein 7g, and fat 1.5g (assuming 1.5 g of fat is in each block of protein)
ReplyDeleteMost people eat between 3-5 blocks at regular means, 1-2 blocks for snacks.
The link Aimee posted has a good intro to the Zone and popular foods listed with their block values.
Megs -nope...good ole handwriting works too!
ReplyDeleteI'm game.
ReplyDeleteAimee:
ReplyDeleteFor the bench off.....will your body weight to max weight lifted be accounted for in part one? In other works if 175lb person lifts 300lbs vs a 225lb lifting 300lbs who wins?
