Today, I’m going to commit to taking a rest day, not taking extra walks and not cutting calories…
We’ll see if I stick to this

Is that the end of 10000 swings? Or are you stopping at 10000?
Great idea!
Lol! Typing errors 
I’ve thought about eating little Brook trout before because they look like little gummy bear-fish. Usually right around lunch or dinner.
And my one buddy observed that the hungrier I get the more likely it becomes that a fish gets offed and into the cooler.
So…
The easy solution is to eat some raw meat. I do most days 
I think you’re overlooking other common causes of cravings, hard training and hypertrophy.

What kind?
Not Pinky but…
Pork has a good mouthfeel, seafood is always good, I don’t like the texture of beef but the blood is quite good
Huh…I like sushi, but I’ve never had any other type of raw meat.
Always beef for me if raw, I love steak tartar, my lunch most days.

I like it when the outside of a steak is disgustingly charred but the middle is pretty much raw
It’s harder than it sounds 
I feel good mentally, but every time I try to start something, my muscles go “nope”
Week 4: Day 3
Time: 24:12- swings only
2x(1-20)- breathing technique
4x25
- really intense on grip and cardio but mentally easier, felt good
Sprints: 4x(15m jog+15min bounding+30m sprint)
Week 4: Day 4/5
Part 1:
Time: 26:56
1x(1-20 w/ 10 push-ups btw sets)
1x(1-20)- just swings
4x20- just swings
- took it easier, still intense
kB press: 5r+5l…+ 1r+1l
Our family friends brought over roast pork shoulder and I resisted a grand total of 10 min before pigging out . I had at least 8-12oz (I’m guessing 800-1000kcal) but felt really really good after so…
Part 2:
5x(25swings+15m kB carry)- grip NOT happy even though it was only a 25lb kB
Rest 3 min
5x(25swings+20 alt lunges)
At this point, I considered stopping, but …nah
1x(20-1)- just swings
@dagill2, @mattjp, @kdjohn, @flappinit, @Voxel 10,000 swings COMPLETE - I’ll do a write up soon
Unfortunately, even though it’s my high day ( family grill night) , I’ve used up over 1/3 of my allotment on that pork shoulder, which although good, has only ignited my appetite
There still steak, chicken wings and a HUGE watermelon to come… I’d be very surprised if I can stick to 3k today

It’s one day. What’s the worst that can happen?
Well done on the challenge though, any thoughts on the next plan?
Lower body day:
Warmup: jumping jacks → a couple of jump squats, progress to 3-5 weighted
Pistols: 5x5-10/leg- 25lb KB
- I’ll star t w/ 5x5, then progress up to 5x10, if that gets too easy, I’ll add tempo and pauses
Bulgarian split squat: 3x15-20 w/ 3010 tempo
- I’ll add pauses if that gets easy
or
Shrimp squat: 3x15-20 w/ 3010 tempo
- I’ll add pauses if that gets easy
some circut probably with lunges, goblet squats or something like that
Upper Body Day
1- arm pushup: 2 sets of as many as possible + 3x10-15 lever pushups
- I’ll take out the lever pushups when I can get 3x8
or
KB press: 4x10-15
Rows: 3x15-20
pushups for time: I’ll start w/100, then add 25 each week
Conditioning
I’ll also do a more “explosive” workout 1 day/week with sprints and stuff like that
Split: lower, upper, explosive, upper, lower, upper, something easy, lower…
@Pinkylifting, how does that sound?
well…
In all seriousness, there is no way you’ll have any noticeable long term effects on your progress towards your goals in one day

I’m actually thinking about doing the 1mile lunges either tomorrow or Sunday- that should put all those extra calories to work
Ugh. Every time I hear about these I cringe. Reason being that as a young whippersnapper I used to mouth off to my high school wrestling coach (I didn’t like him). So he would have me shoot takedowns at the wall for the day, and it would leave my toes hurting like a motherf… .
So now I hate lunges. Because they hurt my toes.
