      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.

        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

          @DougNg:

          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.

          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

                    @zwer:

                    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 🙂

                              This probably belongs in the food thread but can also help here.
                              Made my own "energy" bar this morning. So easy and you know exactly what you're eating

                              1 cup quick cooking oats
                              1/2 cup Peanut Butter- preferably natural with no added sugar- I like mine crunchy
                              3 tbsp honey
                              1 tsp vanilla extract- optional as you can't really taste it

                              Spread out evenly into a container and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut into whatever size bars you like and eat

                              Total recipe with my ingredients is 1212 calores and 44 grams of protein

                              I cut mine into 4 bars so about 300 calories per bar and 11 grams of protein and you know EXACTLY what you are eating.

                              If you give it a shot, let me know what you think

                                  Thanks Jeff. I figured guys like you and Gav could use it with the diets you are currently on and who doesn't love peanut butter!!

                                        Did not know that. But if you're interested, the peanut butter I use called Crazy Richard's has one ingredient, peanuts haha

                                            thanks for sharing bags…all in all it´s a good one, but i´d still would check if it isn´t possible to up the protein and to lower the fat a bit.
                                            40% of the calories of a meal should come from the protein!
