Whats the Rx on this?
What are the exact rules on this? Do potatoes count? (I’m assuming not, because they’re not grains.)
Al I think the sky or the heaviest kb is the limit on this one, this one is about competing with yourself, hope that helps.
Whatever weight you choose it is up to you but it is a bench mark you want to repeat the same amount in a month. Test and re-test yourself then you can see if you are reaching your goals and if what you are doing is making you stronger, better, healthier, faster.
It was a good one. my legs will be sore tomorrow. Nicole and Melissa thanks for staying and pushing me to do my best. Xo- The Dense Pack ;0)
Hey Renee,
I would stay away from potatoes as much as possible, as they are a high carb meal, and also we want to stay away from as much starches as possible!
My only exception would be sweet potatoes after a workout or during dinner time. This is a great recovery meal, especially with apple sauce!
