So how’s this for Chaos being the plan: I WON that submission grappling competition, relying purely on this protocol.
Here’s my final match, where I won by Americana.
I came in at the very BOTTOM of the weight class. I was in 171-185. I weighed 185lbs…in full sweats, with my shoes on, with my phone, keys and wallet in my pocket, having eaten this
30 minutes beforehand and this

And I celebrated at my favorite local Mexican spot…with this

While still covering meals, this was breakfast the day before as well.
2 bison and grassfed swiss omeletes with pasture raised eggs and grassfed ghee, sugar fee bacon and sugar free paleo chicken sausages, chicken breast patty, pork rinds, egg white wrap with cottage cheese, goat cheese and bone broth with electrolytes in the mug
Meat and eggs folks. Meat and eggs.
Here were some of the featured workouts for the week
Took that complex from last week and threw in a pull up, just to make things interesting. Got 100 done in slightly over 40 minutes.
This one I REALLY liked. Struck me as the “perfect workout”
“Tribute to the Great Warriors”
Start off with Axle mat pulls as part of a ROM progression (tribute to Bob Peoples)
Then a 20 minute EMOM workout of Klokov presses and band pull aparts (tribute to…welll, Klokov)
End with 20 breathing squats with chains (Breathing squats ala McCallum and Strossen, Chains ala Louie Simmons and Dan John).
This workout has you pull heavy, blow up the shoulders, then finish it off with some hard squatting. Everything gets hit from weird methods and different angles. Chaos is really the plan there.
THIS one was just plain gnarly
CIMMERIAN CRUCIBLE
This is 4 WODs chained together
Log DT (5 rounds of 12 deadlifts-9 hang cleans-6 jerks)
Axle Grace (30 floor to overheads w/135lbs)
Fran (21-15-9 of 95lb barbell thruster and kipping pull ups)
KB Isabel (30 snatches per arm)
Just slightly over 40 minutes, SO much overhead work in so many different styles
I’m going to be entering a “famine” period, as I have a cruise coming up that I want to eat my face off for the entire time, and setting myself up for that rebound will be fantastic. I can still fully abide by “meat and eggs” this whole time: just more egg whites than whole eggs, and more lean meat. That freezer full of venison is going to really pay off!
