Are the rules the same as they were for the most recent Paleo challenge, like 8hrs sleep earns a point, alcoholic beverage loses a point, etc?
Sorta. . . Your points won’t be counted towards whether you win or not. We will base that solely off before/after pics, body composition changes, and WOD performance.
This challenge is a bit more relaxed this time around and meant to re-charge everyone. Basically, you can eat pizza for 31 days and we’ll reward you if you end up miraculously taking first place in the aforementioned categories. BUT. . . we all know you won’t win or have any substantial improvements if you don’t adhere to the “suggested” pale guidelines.
Make sense?
