⚠️⚠️⚠️ SCANS ⚠️⚠️⚠️

You lose what you don’t need.

For 95% of us this is true.
If you are eating healthy, eating enough, and coming to classes (essentially doing an eight week challenge), your body will adjust as needed in order to be faster, stronger, healthier.

This may mean you lose fat, lose muscle, gain fat, gain muscle. All of these can be good and bad depending on the conditions. Let’s just touch on the muscle loss thing for now.

When you ‘lose muscle’ it’s not a bad thing, you probably didn’t need it or use it anyway…
Think of your muscles like a bunch of pulleys.
Your body uses the pulleys to move.
Your body only uses the amount of pulleys required to complete the task, it also reinforces and upgrades those pulleys so they work better.

If your body has a bunch of pulleys sitting around doing nothing then they are as useful as the fat sitting around doing nothing, so it gets ride of the fat and unused pulleys in order to make your body lighter, faster, more efficient.

Once your body is using all the pulleys optimally it will then add more pulleys if needed to increase load (usable muscle gets bigger).

So in the challenge, while we place points on muscle gain, we do this because it offsets the points for fat loss not because it’s something that everyone should be achieving every challenge.

There are five data points I like to look at during a challenge.
- how you are looking in the mirror,
- how clothes fit,
- how your class performance is (are you fitter or stronger),
- what’s your fat loss reading,
- what’s your muscle gain reading.

You very rarely will hit all five data points, if you do great!
But aim to hit 3-4 out of 5 with performance being your main one to consistently increase.

If you are losing muscle but feeling better, lifting more (or the same), if your cardio classes are more intense, then you have lost muscle you never needed in the first place. And this is a good thing!

Focus on performance first, look and feel second, and then your third goal can be either putting on muscle or losing fat, BUT NOT BOTH.

The Hyrox season and challenge season are off to a great start!
