Hi Tammy- thank you! That would be half a cup 🙂

[Naomi]

Hi Jane- I would use 4oz chicken breasts, so 12oz total for the recipe 🙂

[Naomi]

Hi there- this is a very important topic that you need to discuss with your doctor. Pregnancy and breastfeeding fall under a medical umbrella and we can’t advise your caloric needs during breast-feeding. I do know that you should not be in a caloric deficit during breast-feeding for the health and nourishment of yourself and your baby. Please bring the nutrition information portion of the challenge to your doctor and go over your caloric and nutritional needs with him/her.

Good luck! 🙂

Hi Olivia- Yes, this is not a long-term plan. This is a cutting/shredding plan and is not meant for maintenance or building 🙂

[Naomi]

Hey there! I would recommend you use My Fitness Pal to calculate any substitution ratios you use in place of the tempeh. You can also choose any of the other vf meals in place of the meal with tempeh.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress! 🙂

[Naomi]

Hey there-

We are so excited you are joining us for this challenge! For the best results, we recommend you choose from one of the three post-workout options provided. As far as swapping out the apple if you don’t like apples, you can choose one of the other two post-workout meals or use 1c blueberries (150g) that is pretty equivalent to the macros in a medium apple.

Good luck with the challenge! 🙂

Hi there- As long as you stick to the meal plans and the workouts for the Summer Shred, you should be able to see more definition/fat loss in your legs, glutes hips and thighs.

Good luck, and we are so glad you love all of the challenges and support!!! 🙂

Hi there- these are much more individualized personalized questions that vary from person to person. There is so much variety when it comes to fasting, and we do not coach fasting methods. If you’d like a more personalized nutrition/training program, you can email: [email protected] to get information on personalized nutritional and exercise coaching 🙂

[Naomi]

Hi Ursula- yep, that will work great! 🙂

[Naomi]

LOL, you will just have to wait and see 😉

[Naomi]

Hey Lacey- I would have to see a video of how you’re doing it to accurately answer your question. Are you arching your back and keeping your chest up when you go down in the movement? At what point in the movement does the pain start?

[Naomi]

Hey ladies- there have been no official announcements or information released anywhere. Nicole briefly discussed the Summer Shred in her live facebook Q&A on Sunday but there weren’t any specific details mentioned.

She will be posting the information and sign-up for Summer Shred via email and on this website within the next few days. You will not miss out on being in the know, I promise 😉

[Naomi]

HI Samantha- she will email everything to challenge participants in plenty of time for you guys to take pics and submit all your info but I don’t have a specific day/time yet 😉

[Naomi]

Hi Bridgett- it is a Selfie-Z phone case and you can order from http://www.selfiez.com and use the discount code “nicolew” 🙂

[Naomi]

Hi there- you can continue with this program for as long as you want to. Yes, you can also go into a little lean out or shredding phase for a period of time (6-8 weeks or however long you’d like to shred) then go back to the Muscle Up program 😉

[Naomi]

Hey there! GREAT JOB, that is awesome!! I would recommend changing your technique to make it a lot harder with the weight you have access to. Try doing the sumo squats by going down in the movement exaggeratingly slow (go down in a slow count of 1-2-3-4) then pop up out of the squat as fast as you can. So it would be:

Down: 1,2,3,4
Up: 1

Try to use your leg muscles to resist the downward movement. Don’t let gravity or the weight of the dumbbell drop you down, try to resist the downward motion for 4 counts. See if that helps the intensity! 🙂

[Naomi]

Ahhh, ok, I see what your question is now. Sorry lol! Dips also hit chest (outside/upper) 😉

[Naomi]

Dips are a great exercise for triceps, and taxing the muscle in the same way hits it harder. It’s just another intensity technique thrown in to hit the same muscle in the same way by doing the same exercise a second time 😉
