      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.

                        I've used those before. Really good in developing speed in martial arts. I first used them when I started training in Kali. Very effective

                          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.

                                  would love to do some sort of crossfit, but no chance to find one here!

                                    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
