Nutrition Maintenance Plan

Nutrition gets exhausting when every approach feels like all or nothing and the price tags on every plan seem like an early 2000s car payment.

This plan was intentionally built for people who already understand the basics and want a sustainable way to stay accountable without feeling consumed by it.

It’s also a great fit for long-time members who feel like they’ve hit a wall and need some structure back in place.

A few adjustments, clear targets, and someone in your corner paying attention.

That goes a long way.

For $79/month, our Nutrition Maintenance Plan includes:

Access to qualified and experienced coaches

Weekly check-ins

Macro guidance and adjustments

Quarterly goal setting

Trainerize App access for tracking and accountability

10% off all Phat Muscle Project retail at CrossFit Republic (Available to all nutrition clients)

This is meant to provide structure without the obsession and hefty price tag.

If that sounds like what you’ve been needing, message us and let’s get you a consult with one of our coaches.

Bring a Friend Free Saturday W.O.D. – 25 Minutes (5 Rounds for time)

Every 5 Minutes on the 5 Minutes for 5 Rounds Complete…

400 Meter Run

8 Hand Release Push Ups

8 Double Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges (R/L = 2) (50s/35s)

8 Double Dumbbell Push Press (50s/35s)

Intended Stimulus

This is a repeatable conditioning interval built around:

Aerobic output

Midline stability under load

Upper body fatigue management

The goal is to move at a pace that allows:

Consistent rounds

Controlled breathing

At least 1:00 of rest every round

This should not feel like survival by round 2.

Time Domain Breakdown

400 Meter Run

1:45 – 2:30

8 Hand Release Push Ups

:20 – :30

8 Double Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges

:30 – :40

8 Double Dumbbell Push Press

:20 – :30

Round Expectation

Total work time: 3:00 – 4:00

Expected rest:

1:00 – 2:00 each round

If you are consistently finishing past 4:00:

Run pace is too aggressive

Dumbbells are too heavy

Or movement quality is breaking down

Movement Notes

Run

Smooth and sustainable

This should elevate breathing, not destroy it

Hand Release Push Ups

Full chest to floor

Hands leave the ground each rep

Maintain body line

Front Rack Lunges

Elbows supporting the dumbbells

Stay upright

Control the step and knee touch

The front rack position should challenge the midline.

Push Press

Use the legs every rep

Fast dip and drive

Finish with active lockout overhead

This should not become a strict press.

Pacing Strategy

Round 1 should feel controlled

Maintain similar splits all 5 rounds

Use rest intentionally:

Lower breathing

Reset grip

Prepare to move again
