This may sound like an off the wall video, but i dare you to watch many more of the youtube videos of this guy. Even if you don’t agree with things i says, i find it refreshing sometimes to simply here view points from knowledgable people who make us think about all of the things we learn in the mainstream media.
The video is all about challenging the traditional views and mainstream advice about eating breakfast, and comparing it with the history of mankind.
I haven’t been filling in on my workout progress or giving advice for a while now as you can see, but soon hope to be part of a brand new workout blog project where i will hopefully be able to contribute some quality knowledge about weight lifting, nutrition, and stuff.
Yesterday, I began my 6 months out high protein high carbs diet. I hope to gain a few pounds in the next three months before it’s time to begin cutting for the Shredder on June 3, 2008. It consists of 6 meals a day, and about 300 grams of protein. I am still working out heavy trying to put the protein in the places it belongs, in the muscles.

This was one of the best hamstring workouts I‘ve ever had. I became light-headed during super setting the lunges and the leg presses which was pretty sweet. All in all my legs were destroyed after this workout and are now pretty sore right now.

I went high volume repetitions today to give my joints a break. I’ve had some rotator issues in the past so if I don’t feel up to pushing weight I don’t. That’s why I love these higher volume weeks because they do indeed give the joints some rest and offer a different form of stimulation. Believe it or not, these volume workouts are much more tiring than the power training workouts which precede them.
