The ebook I downloaded in phase 2 didn’t have any work out for Thursday but on the calendar says only Sunday is off day
Is a error? Or is a new version of ebook to download?
ThanksLet me check this out for you. Thanks.
If I eat option one for breakfast don I then eat option one for the remainder of my meals that day or can I pick option one for one meal and option two for another? Also, is one option more favorable for certain results.
Hi there,
Nope. You can choose option 2 OR you can make up your own meal using the exchange list provided.I’m wondering where I fit in the chocolate chip cookies? I’m meal plan 2? Don’t see it in my plan?
Thank you,
DonnaHi,
If you are in in Meal plan 2 its on your OFF day meal plan.Meal 5. :). Happy eating.Will there be a halfway done with the challenge coupon code like usual or no because it isn’t a long one?
Thanks!
Hi there,
we do when it’s a two phase challenge, we have never offered it before for a one phase.Hi guys! Ok I can’t walk well…. seen a chiropractor I’m doing everything I have to do I am definitely taking care of myself. Laying here with ice as I speak. I am able to do the workouts the legs I am just doing bodyweight only mostly. It’s actually that one muscle in your butt it’s pinching my sciatic due to injured lower back. So I just can’t do cardio right now… I’m wondering if I should lower my calories by a couple hundred a day because of it… Please help
Oh no!!! I’m so sorry you are hurt. I hope you are back in the game ASAP. I would just leave your calories the same. I am sure you will be back in no time and you will have the energy to kick some butt!!!
I have the same question about dropsets. Yesterday’s leg day for “dumbbell only” had 4 sets of dropsets. I did 4 sets of 10/10/10/10. Should I have only done each weight 10 times as a set. For example, the first set would be 25 lb weight 10 times, the second set would be 20 lbs weight 10 times, and so on. Only doing 40 reps total.
A drop set is a number of drops in one set. So if it says 10/10/10/10….you would do 4 drops in one set.
Any idea when Vanilla will be back in stock?? I am almost out!! ☹☹
Email [email protected]. They could give you more info on that. Thanks!
If we use thick cut regular bacon should we lower the amount we eat? Or should we just use thin bacon?
I would use the thin cut….the numbers are there to reflect the regular cut bacon. Although….I would love some thick cut LOL
This is my first time doing this. My question is I am sure its been answered but can not find it. When substituting on the food exchange list, next to the original food there is a measurement for example 100g blueberries but you can substitute and it says 1/2 FR does that mean on the fruit list whatever I choose its have of the amount? That is what is confusing to me or is it already weighed out when I substitute on the food exchange list. I hope I explained enough to understand.
I think I understand you correctly. When you see the exchange and it says 1/2 fruit. It means go to the fruit exchange part and pick what fruit you want and then have 1/2 of the serving that is listed there. Each thing listed is for ONE serving. Hope that answers your question.
I meant you a bit lighter of a weight and focus on the contraction and get a good connection there first then slowly bring the weight back up….see if that helps. Might take a little time.
I’m slow in ordering my supplements. I tried to use the imbuilt15 code we received when signing up but it says it’s expired. Is there another coupon code I can use or am I out of luck with a discount? Thank you!
Email [email protected]. Maybe they can help get you that deal.
I have a question. For leg day, I feel like that muscles that are getting fatigued first are not my glutes/quads/hams, but rather my core (abs, back) from holding the weights themselves. I could really tell this was the case during today’s dumbbell squat thrusts (week 2, day 2 dummbbell home workout) or during regular dumbbell goblet squats.
Is this OK? Should I modify how I hold the dumbbells to minimize core fatigue (allowing weight to hang rather than holding up to chest is easier on my core)?
Thanks!
Just drop the pounds down a bit and focus on insane form and squeeze at the peak of the contraction. See if you can still get a good connection and not overdo your core.WHy not try lowering the weight a bit and see if that makes a difference.
Do you mean use lighter weights or hold the weights lower?
I noticed that week 2 leg day for dumbbell only home work out is a bit different in the workbook versus online. The workbook adds lateral lunges after the reverse lunges and the online version omits the lateral lunges.
Hi, Can you do me a favor and specify which day so I can send that info to someone who can fix that if need be?

On week 1, Day 6 all the exercises are for 45 seconds and it says to use a rep tempo of 2-1-2-1 and to do a weight we can do 12-15 reps and if we get more reps than that, it’s too fast. But, one full rep takes 6 (2+1+2+1)seconds, which means we only get 7 1/2 reps in. Is this correct?
Find a weight that would be tough for 12-15 reps. But you are doing a tempo as you described above. Does that make sense?
My legs are my main focus. I have a hard time getting definition and toning in my legs. Would it be wise or advisable to train them 3 days instead of 2 in this case? Also I walk a lot (cardio) so I’m uncertain if this will hinder my gains during this challenge as well.
Would you please advise. Thank you!HI
I would follow the plan as is. Do you walk because of your job? Or just more cardio than most. I would just alter what you tend to do in order to get the most out of the challenge if possible.On the pdf, at home workouts for Monday 2/4/6, there are preacher curls, but there are no preacher curls on the web version.
Which is the correct one?
If preacher curls are in the workout, what should we do instead if we don’t have a support to do them?
You can also the one of the at home workouts as well to work with the equipment you don’t have.
Hey,
I have a diagnosed rotator cuff and bicep tendon irritation. I can, and have been told by my doctor, to keep working out and moving it unless there is pain. when I push through too many push-ups or any kind of side plank my shoulder kills!
I carefully went through all the movements this week but ended up tensing and hurting my neck while trying not to put too much weight on the injured side.
Need some ideas for alternatives so that I can still build around this annoying injury.
I can do the inchworms but the pushups hurt, I can do some push-ups but need to be VERY careful and am definitely not getting to muscle failure and the plank rotations as they are are a no go.
Thank you!You can just do the inchworms….but then instead of push ups after you do the inchworms you can do presses with DB’s or Bar or bands…Just mimic the motion.
For meal plan 2, can Grimms turkey pepperoni be used as a sub for the FP serving instead of ground turkey ?
Thanks ☺️
Hi there,
I’m not sure of the macros on that one. You can plug it into my fitness pal and see how you do with the macros for that meal.Hey guys! For the pumpkin spice muffins the recipe calls for 12 servings, the first time I made I only got 6 , second Time got 9 poured less in each muffin cup. What am I doing wrong . Help kitchen challenged lol 😝
If you used all of the same ingredients…I am sure your pouring was a little off 🙂
When I make veggies or veggies, I usually cook with extra light olive oil or avocado oil. Should I be counting this as a fat? Should I not cook with it? Is there something else to use? Thank you.
Hi there, I would use pam spray….that might be good for this challenge.
Hi, Loved today’s 45-sec legs sets. I see it says to use weight that you could use for about 12-15 reps normally, which I did. In keeping to the count of “2-1-2-1” with each rep, I’m probably getting only about 8 reps before my alarm dings. Am I somehow going TOO slow? Or the more time under tension the better? Thank you.
You are probably ok…..The focus is the squeeze. Dial your mind into what you are doing and the muscle you are working 🙂
If I do weights in the morning and cardio in the afternoon, when is the best time for my post workout meal?
Post workout meal comes after strength.
Can you combine 2 meals into one. Not hungry till noon. Like to do IF
I dont see why not. The important thing is to hit the allotted number of macros at the end of the day.
