CFDV’s Lean Life Challenge focused on several habits over its 5 weeks. Each habit is practiced consistently for a week before another habit is added. By Monday we’re stacking 5 habits and it accomplished 2 big things beyond eating clean:
– get 1-2 hours of daily extra focused time on things like mobility and skill work
– massively reduced wasted time on TV and other distractions
I noticed 3 clear measurable results already and it is only 4 weeks in:
– Several max lift PRs shattered (C&J by 20 lbs, deadlift by 10lbs)
– Much better MetCon performance despite limited sugar in the system
– Super fast recovery (ability to go 6-7 days every week with full recovery)
Sticking with the habits beyond the 5 weeks, of course, is key to improving on these.
