Halloween Throwdown
Although we are still holding off on large scale competitions open to the public, we will be moving forward with an Outliers only Halloween Throwdown on Saturday October 23rd. The competition will be focused around fun, community, and inclusivity. Please visit the event page for all the details:
Lazy Macros Challenge
WHAT IS IT?
The goal of The Lazy Macros Challenge is to set a baseline level of quality in the diet without requiring perfection or restriction. Lazy Macros places the priority on the underrepresented items in almost every diet: fruits, vegetables, and protein. Sleep and workouts are also scored components of the challenge because of their effect on your body. The Challenge begins Monday October 18th. Sign up here:
