Saturday Training and Paleo Challenge Day 27

-Rest Day-

Here is a video of yesterday's shoulder press at 160#. As you can see, this was fairly easy and I would have easily gone over 160 had my tricep not cramped up on me.. I don't think I rested my arms enough going into this.

Thursday Training and Paleo Challenge Day 25

KBS
Pull Ups
Toes to Bar
Back Ext
GHD Sit Ups
Lunges
Banded Goodmornings

Then
3 Rounds of
275# Prowler Sprints - 40 meters
50 Dbl Unders

Went at this hard.. First and Last sets of Dbl Unders were unbroken.. Pretty happy with that since I haven't done these in a long time. Prowler Push at the weight is just thee right amount of hurt for that distance. I was able to keep my pace high just until the the very end of the last sprint. I love sled and prowler work and I will be doing more of that stuff on recovery days and also sprint days.

Notes - Whats amazing to me is how good and strong I'm feeling on a very low calorie diet.. I've been I.F'ing lately and today's workout was actually during the end of a long 23 Hour Fast. I will not being doing that more than once a week. I like to keep my fast short, in that 16-18 hour range, but once a week I will through in a longer 20+ Hour fast on a rest day. I'm just gonna ride this wave till it breaks, re-evaluate and make small adjustments where necessary.

Tuesday Training and Paleo Challenge Day 23

Rest Day

A much needed day of rest.. I might even need to take one more day off.. I had no idea how bad that heavy single leg stuff would ruin me for the next few days.. My body is very very sore today.. Did a lil longer fast today.. Wasn't hungry at Noon when I had planned to eat so I just let it go until I felt hungry. Easy. Actually listening to my body.. What a crazy idea :)

Meal 1 - 2:00pm
Grassfed Ribeye with Kale, Mustard and Collard Greens with Ghee

Meal 2 - 6:00pm
BCAA's
