Finished in 11 minutes.
I did this workout last Friday to get my weights set. I need to adjust by leg press weight down to a 45lb plate per side only and I will have to do the EZ bar for the curl and with probably 10lbs/side to equal 35 pounds. I’m guessing its partly due to being gassed toward the end and the nagging left forearm by my elbow pain I’ve had for quite some time.
I plan on tracking my food for a few days to see where I am. I’m initially aiming for around 3,000 calories and then I’ll end up eating when hungry. Lastly, I will be doing this challenge without the use of Plazma and Mag-10. I will be eating whole food, using creatine and maybe protein powder here and there.
Wednesday MC3
The middle of the week workout went well. I realized I shouldn’t post exactly what the workouts are because it’s a paid e-book. But today went well. It didn’t seem as demanding as the Monday workout but still good. I finished right at about 11 minutes again and the with a couple of the lifts I didn’t get to as fast as I should have. But that comes with not having enough equipment to have every single thing set before starting.
My night body weight has been consistent around 185 and morning around 180-181.
I’m just now finding this training log section and you’re the only one on here I’ve found so far doing 30 10 30 ? Are you doing 30 10 30’or something else? I see you stopped posting about it in here in Jan ? Any reason for that ?

Hey Scott. I went through the metabolic challenge all except the final week I believe. I didn’t see any results and so I quit early. I’m not doing Christian Thibaudeau’s Best Workout Plan for Natural Lifters and I’m seeing the best gains of my life. I don’t think 30-10-30 is good for someone like me who is a Type 3.
I went through that type 3 stuff Christian wrote and I had to get away from it as it was too depressing. How do you figure being a type 3 effects you and the workouts ? If I recall I might be a type 3 but I’m not sure? Seems that damn cortisol causes type 3 people lots of trouble?
Scott
Well it’s not depressing it’s just understanding who you are and your personality. Type 3 fits me to a T. I have a hard time with high intensity and knowing how hard I need to push. So that is why I do better with progressive overload because it forces me to add weight to the bar. I think if HIT works for people, continue to do it. It wasn’t great for me.
Did you fill out that form and send it it to Christian T to see if you were a type 3 ? I didn’t do that . I just guessed by what I saw in that article and some things I fit to a T and others didn’t. Thanks for responding!
Scott
I knew what I was but yes I also took the test and there was no question.
