S3 – There is nothing you can’t do!
Hey gang just wanted to remind you that the sign up sheets for S3 are ready and waiting for you – don’t delay!
We are understandably getting a lot of “What exactly is it?, When does it start?” etc.
I get that.
But I want you to understand that I would never ask you to do something that was not achievable. You trust us every day with your training, I am asking you to trust us now.
That being said I will offer you a brief timeline and outline as best I can.
The contest will be 8 weeks long, and is currently slated to start Monday April 23rd and end Friday June 15th.
Update – we will be starting and ending one week later because of April vacation
On April 17th registration will open on ActiveNH.com, the website we are partnering with for the contest. You will be provided with instructions and an access code. This will be the hub of the contest where tasks will be recorded, live scoring will be updated, etc. This site will make it way easier in the past to stay in the loop and keep up to date.
As we do with all our coaching S3 will focus on behavior, not just outcomes. Our work with Dr. Berardi at Precision Nutrition has been instrumental in this coaching philosophy, and it is very powerful and empowering.
What’s the difference between a behavior and outcome?
Here are a couple past articles you can read that help explain:
Is There A Gap In Your Training?
To put it simply behavior is something you can control, while an outcome is something that is not always in your control.
A behavior goal says “I will attend bootcamp 4 days a week”. To a large extent you have control over if this happens or not.
An outcome goal says “I will lose 10 pounds this month”. You may or may not, and whether you do or not isn’t always in your control.
But the more positive behaviors you adopt, the more likely it is you will reach your desired outcome.
So we focus on behavior.
That’s not to say the outcome doesn’t factor in, because it does and should. But your focus should be on what you can do, what may or may not happen.
Get It?
So yes, there will be a fat loss component as part of the scoring. You will need to step on the scale and track results.
But the vast majority of your points will be earned by doing.
Here’s the actual task for the first two weeks of the contest.
S3 Habit 1: Eat a meal within one hour of waking or within 1 hour after training This is a PPW meal, not a protein shake or recovery drink. Choose on or the other.
That’s it. That’s how you earn task points for the first two weeks.
Can you do that?
Then you know where the sign up sheet is!
