6 a.m. classes on M-W-F are now in full force!  Don't forget, our next 101 program begins this Wednesday at 7 p.m. We only have a few spots left, so if you know someone who would make a great addition to the CFH family, have them call us.

Heads up...you should spend the next two weeks dialing in that nutrition and getting plenty of rest. From 11/19 through 12/29, we're going to test your 1RM at a different lift every Monday.  We will skip 12/24 and test three different lifts on Saturday, 12/29.  It's go time!

We made some super-simple and truly delicious butternut squash soup last night. You guys must try it!

Dice up a little butternut squash, celery, onion, a few carrots, and mince a few garlic cloves.
Drizzle some oil (we used avocado oil) in a pan and sautee everything for about 5 minutes.
Add about 6 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth, sprinkle in some thyme, sage, salt, and pepper and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Once we dished out the soup, we tossed in a little leftover pulled chicken. DELISH!
Strength:
Snatch-Grip Push Press (5-5-5+)

If you've never tried spaghetti squash, be sure to add it to your grocery list.  It's a tasty, easy-to-make Paleo option that you can serve a number of different ways.  Simply slice the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds, and bake face down at 375 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.  Let it cool, then use a fork to 'rake' the insides into a dish.  Serve plain...or with a little salt & pepper...or add a nice Paleo sauce, etc.  Yummy!

Strength: Deadlift (5-5-5+)

Conditioning: 4 Rounds...Rest 1:00 between rounds
3 min AMRAP
3 Power Cleans (95/65#)

We've had lots of good questions about the strength program lately, and we want to be sure you guys understand the process.  If you've only been with us a few months and/or you're new to lifting, stick with the orange numbers on the board for your lifts - do not use the percentages.

If you're using the percentages, take a moment to be sure you're using them correctly.  Read the page posted next to the board and ask us ANY questions you may have.  Essentially, during each max-effort week use your numbers on the "1+" lift to calculate a new one-rep max.  Write that down in your journal, and use THAT number the next time we hit that exact lift.  You must do this each time so your future percentages are based on the new, higher numbers...don't continue to use an old 1RM from months ago.  Constant, steady progress, folks....constant, steady progress.

    The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind.  We scale each day's workout to meet your needs.  Check out this video to see an example of scaling.
