              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.

                  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

                              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!!
