Atlas13 Burning the Boats

I read the entire manifest you laid out and absolutely loved it. There’s too much good stuff, so I’m just going to highlight one thing.

With training a lot more than that, I need to recover like a champion. And here’s how I will cheat my nutrition. I’m going to eat like a horse. Maybe slim down a bit, maybe not, but I want to absolutely pound food. If TB Base Building taught me anything, enough cardio can make up for eating a ton. I plan to leverage my higher workload to allow myself to eat a ton, and flood myself with as many macro and micro nutrients as possible to keep myself fueled. On top of that, im going to make a rigid sleep routine when I’m on land, and stick to it.

I’m sure you’re well versed in this, but this is exactly what Dr. John Berardi laid out as “G-flux”

G-Flux Redux: Explained

[G-Flux] by Chris Shugart An Interview with John Berardi, Ph.D. How to flick the metabolic switch to get bigger, stronger, and leaner while eating more food than you do now. “This,” John Berardi told us a couple of years ago, “is 100 percent, without a doubt, absolutely critical to building your ultimate body.” That certainly got our attention. What was he talking about? A new supplement? A new training program? Not really. He was talking about energy flux, or energy turnover, known as G-Flu…

We know that exercise is a poor lever for fat loss, but it’s an EXCELLENT lever for allowing us to eat more food, which means, just as you noted: more macro and micro nutrients. And then it’s self-perpetuation: we have more/better fuel in our system, so we can train harder, which means we burn more fuel, which means we eat more of it.

I’m no joke watching this happen with my boxer puppy right now. The more she eats, the harder she plays, the hungrier she gets, so she eats more, and this whole time she’s just growing and growing.

I’m excited to see how this all pans out for you.
