WEEK 1 DAILY BONUS POINT
The bonus point for week 1 is anything orange-colored. You can get the bonus point if you eat at least 50 grams of something orange. Remember, you must hit 800g to be eligible for the bonus point. Orange items include carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges, clementines, orange tomatoes, orange peppers, mango, cantaloupe… if it is orange, it counts!

Welcome to Day 1 of the #800gChallenge®! You can now record your scores on the designated whiteboard at either gym. While you should weigh and measure your fruits and veggies at home or work, you can estimate quantities when eating out or on the road. A simple tip is that 1 cup of many fruits or vegetables is ~100g (except leafy greens which are ~25g/cup). As shown, a closed fist is about the size of a cup. “Lighter” items are closer to 100g/cup and “heavier” items are closer to 160g/cup. Don’t be afraid to “eyeball” it; you will likely be within 20-30 grams. And all that weighing and measuring at home will help make this more accurate over time.

The weight for the barbell complex should be a weight that you can do each individual movement unbroken. During the workout do eleven deadlifts, rest. Do the twelfth deadlift then eight hang power cleans, rest. Do the last hang power clean then 6 push jerks straight. Target 15 minutes.
