I believe that is something Louie used at Westside… which im guessing he borrowed from the Bulgarian system( could be wrong)
Or his guys snuck in on him… my memories are fuzzy on that

As pointed out above … allot of method / approaches today arent new and have been around awhile…

I mean if you look at 5/3/1 it draws inspiration from another training system.

Which is why I am a big fan of @T3hPwnisher ’s 3 sentence training plan. It sums up all the different books and methods and ways to skin the cat into the true root of everything resistance training related. Lift Stuff, Eat Protein and Fats, do some cardio (paraphrasing obviously). Doing that would get most of the human population to 90% of their max athletic ability.

Confession - I wish I had thought of that before he did.

Ok its rusty …but my Troll radar went off on a resent thread. A few red flags popped up inside of my head. After rereading what the Op had posted…

GOD… i love how things never change around here for better or worse.

Confession 1: I went over financial and calorie by impulse buying rotisserie chicken

Confession 2: I’m also skipping my sunday second cardio session

Confession 3: I have no excuse for either. I just ā€œfelt/feel like itā€

Edit: second cardio session got done

My daughter decided she wanted to go to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue at Walt Disney world for her birthday dinner (perks of living in florida - don’t have to stay at the resorts to go to the restaurants).

Confession: I plan to be an absolute glutton on the all you can eat ribs and chicken. They offer cornbread/coleslaw/salad an beans too, but that just decreases the amount of ribs I can put away. I am thinking about not eating all day before going too.

I’m here to confess my shared aspirations of gluttony at the Hoop-De-Do-Review about 15 years ago.

I’m also here to regretfully inform you that I was unable to eat all that I had hoped to that evening. There seemed to be a breakdown somewhere in the process, resulting in several periods where I had no fried chicken or ribs on my plate or anywhere else on our table.

Disneys promise of unlimited draft beer also went unfulfilled, as my draft beer consumption was obviously limited by how much beer they were willing to bring me.

To make matters worse, I was informed that I would not be able to continue eating fried chicken and drinking beer after the show was concluded.

The show was entertaining and my 9 year old really enjoyed it, making a good memory for all of us. There’s just no memory of me eating and drinking everything I could that day.

Buyer beware.

Thanks,
I fully plan to tell them up front to keep the ribs coming, but I have had enough experiences at disney to know this may be asking too much.

Mostly going for the kiddos, but at the current prices, I plan to eat as much as they will let me.

Taken out of context, I am laughing way too hard at this.

You gotta do something prior to going that will build a deep biological/cellular hunger. Like 10x10 ohp the night before. Squats or deads might impede walking, so thats a judgement call.

Maybe even like a really light snack to keep the system primed so that theres no lag when you hit the throttle.

Go for volume and compound movements, like 15 or 20 reps. End on a super heavy set of a max of three.

Skip protein the day before. The ribs will make up for it.

Eat milk and cookies in bed the night before. You will wake up up starving.

If you can, do fasted cardio or a bodyweight workout when it’s dark, then go back to sleep for an hour.

No coffee. Contrast shower to wake up.

Terrible tip - a shot about an hour before will help.

And there’s always marijuana, but that depends on your mileage.

You guys don’t understand what I’m saying. None of this will matter for a hungry lifter with his kid at the Hoop Dee Do. Take it from me, a guy who was only served a generous portion of meat and a mere reasonable amount of beer. I was never given the chance see if I could crush ribs nonstop for the entire show.

I feel like I need to send you ribs now.

Oh! I thought ā€œno memory ofā€ meant that you Did get to drink a ridiculous ammount of beer.

Thats a legitimate injustice. Those things can never truly be rectified, but healing can happen.

I got shorted on an all you can eat tandoori chicken deal once. They just quit making it. Like, it wasn’t from 11:00 am til 2:00pm or anything. They just quit.

But I was at an all you can eat in Lancaster a few years ago (pre-stemi) and it was like the guy carving the prime rib just knew. Like he could feel it. On my second trip back he said ā€œYou look like one of THOSE peopleā€¦ā€ and slapped 4 cuts on the plate.

So there is hope. :fist_right:

I don’t know if this is a confession or not, but every time I step outside of the Training Logs section of this website, I regret it. Damn.
