          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.

                        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.

                              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

                                    I looked into this, too. ~$100 on eBay, Finn.

                                        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 raises

                                        no 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 sets

                                        still 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 bench

                                        every 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

                                            Picked up 2.5KGs (5.5 pounds) of green coffee beans today. On top of my already 3-4KG (7.7 pound) bag. Nice 30 minute cycle home with 13.2pounds on the back. Looks like I might get a little bit of regular 'carry' training in 🙂
