Nice timing- I start the Skogg 60 Day Challenge tomorrow. I'm sure this will help motivate me.

I've changed my mind. He's an evil bastard that hates me. Why else would he recommend this:
2. Eliminate sugar from your diet. This means all sugar. Sugar and its effects on your body will be one of the weekly topics, so you will be given our reasoning behind this requirement. In the meantime, read labels. DO NOT use any food products that contain added sugar. Sugar is hidden in many products to make them taste good. Spaghetti sauce, ketchup, salad dressing, protein shakes and bars, desserts etc. all contain unnecessary sugar. Your best bet is to stay away from all processed food. But if you use these products, such as bottled salad dressing, make sure it is sugar free.
3. No alcoholic beverages. Alcohol has the same effect on your body as sugar and is high in empty calories.

I've heard about this concept before…currently looking into it myself

It's working for me
-
That's…kind of the first tenants of any diet plan...
And that's why I don't diet. No sugar? That's just crazy talk.
However, I recognize that my methods don't work, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to give it a try. Nonetheless, it's gonna hurt. I love sugar.

just tried this. Holy shit is about all I can say. I did 10 secs on 10 secs off, 4x at the end of a normal work out.
the video is not me just to be clear.

If it's really killing you, you can sweeten your foods with honey. I don't know if Skogg allows it on his plan, but I have a couple of friends who sweeten some of their foods (oatmeal, coffee) with no detriment to their diet plan

Just buy a rope…

As a matter of interest, Doug, how does that compare to my day?:
All 4 sets
Squats
Dumbbell press
Leg press
Military press
Rope tricep extension
Lateral raisesno need for both leg press and squats, keep the squats ditch the leg press.
24 sets in a day is a lot. try breaking it up into a split, imo. something like this would be better
day 1
squat 5 sets
deadlift 5 sets
calf raises 3 sets
1 type of row 3 sets
pullups 3 setsstill a heavy day
day 2
flat bench (barbell or dumbell) 5 sets
shoulder press (barbell or dumbell) 5 sets
close grip bench 3 sets
dips 3 sets
butterfly 3 sets/or overhead press/or incline or decline benchevery other week or so throw in a shrug on either day- go heavy with the barbell in the squat rack. pop those trapz up hard
