How do you feel after backloading like a 80$$? Do you think it affects your sleep?
I can get away with a pretty big meals 1 hour before sleep (i.e. recent PR of 24 oz of chicken and 16 oz of steak, a cornucopia of fruits and veggies + 200 grams of sugar from cake and candy)

As long as I stop the backload around 9pm, I feel fine. Anything past that and all of the sugar makes me feel like a honey badger is trying to eat it’s way out of my bowels.
Saturday- Returning to parasympathetic dominance/wanted to run myself into the ground- 4-7-12-
My secret fat burning breakfast:
A gallon of coffee mixed with coconut milk, 20g whey, 5g creatine. Chugged.
Secret fat burning workout:
Prowler w/ 180lbs. Suicides. 10 yard intervals for 30 yards… this is 120 yards per suicide if you are counting. High handles up, low handles back.
3 suicides in 12:17 actualy trip time. Didnt keep track of rest because it really doesnt matter with this.
Rolled out my quads/it bands, pretty sure I saw a viking fly by on a teredactyl… he had a megaphone in his hand and kept yelling “Open your mind, Quade” at me. Either the world is finally turning into everything I have ever wanted it to be or I have the Prowler AIDS.

Those suicides sound brutal. I may need to get in on those to up my conditioning, so I can just hulk smash all the speed events at my next comp.
Strong work as usual man.[/quote]
The suicides almost made me commit suicide. Shit is nuts.
Sunday-4-8-12-DE Lower- 11 weeks out- This week is a tansitional block. I’ve got a lot of time but want to get work in my gear. Most of this week will be raw, but heavy.
Sumo Pulls- Quaded Minis- 315x3x1, 405x9x1<~~~ pretty quick. These always scare the shit out of me because of my hamstring tear. They felt pretty solid today
Close Stance SSB GMs- Bent knee- 75x20, 165x4x20
Barbell Side Bends-135x3x10
Back Ext.- 30lbs x 3x20
Tire Flips- 400lbs… I knew this was going to be bad today. Since the pollen count is more pollen than air, I was already having an asthma attack from the rest of the workout. I dropped the tire on the ground, hit the stopwatch, bent down, got my first flip. While taking in a huge, deep breath and dropping down for the next flip, the jarring of the tire hitting the ground released a green poison death clown that seemed to bee-line straight for my eyes and open mouth. After about 5 minutes of choking and clawing my eyes out, I managed to get my shit together enough to finish the fucking exercise.
Tire- 400lbs- 50 flip in 4:10. PR.
Now I need to go find one of those high school science lab eye wash stations and hope to god this headache goes away at some point.
Monday- Drug a light sled forever- 135lbs held between my legs for 10 trips of 40 yards. These sucked. Did some upper back, ab, and hamstring work as well.
Tuesday-4-10-12- ME Upper-
Rev. Band Bench- Avg. Bands- Pinky on rings- 135x2x20, 225x10, 315x5, 365x3, Wraps and the ne UA non-contact mouth guard, 425x3, 445x3, 465x3, 475x3<~~~ stopped here. Didn’t have a spotter and pulling this much weight out was making my form go to shit.
Close Grip- 275x25
IW Grip-275x25
Kroc Row- 60x10, 110x10, 160x10, 210x17
Lying M. Mini Pull Aaprts/Back Ext.
3x25, 1x50/2x50
Supra Bar Curls- 10 Neutral/10 Pronated/10 Supinated- 65lbs x 2 sets
Benched 50lb DBs off of a physio ball for 5 minutes straight. FUNCTIONAL BRAH!!!
Face Pulls- Light band x 5mins
Prowler Suicides- 230lbs 3 trips, high and low handles, trip time took 8:52… which is about 4 mins faster than last time with 50 more pounds. Gettin’ so fit brah. Might even check my Fran this week… gotta get my Fran this week.
Squats to soft foam and a below parallel box + 250-275 in band tension-
bar x10, 135x5x3, 225x2x3, 315x3
Added Suit bottoms (Can’t wait for my T-REX to get here… that might actually fit!) and belt
405x3
500x3<~~~ goal for the day. This was my old 1rm for this variation… but something broke in my head and I needed to feel more weight on my back
550x3<~~~ best set all day, still felt like I needed more. I usually don’t get too fired up when I train but I was going ballistic at this point
585x3 <~~~ first two were hard but I got them pretty smooth. Number three I would compare to when you hear those stories on the news about moms who pull cars off of their trapped babies after an accident. The strength to do this just came from… somewhere? I don’t know where. I honestly didn’t even remember doing the rep once it was racked. I had to watch the video to make sure I did it.
Wide Stance Straight Bar GMs- 135x5x20
Just stopped. My head was killing me from a mix of breathing in more pollen than air and my spinal fluid felt like it was running backwards and was composed mostly of napalm.
Training after some morning clients then heading out of town for Dustin’s (Ultramegasweet on here) wedding… beers will be drank.
FB Bench- No bands or chains, shoulders are still sore from tuesday-
205x12x3
2 Board- 255x6, 305x6, 355x6
Push-Downs/Wide FB Curls-
Avg x 50/75 x 41
Seated OH Push Downs/Rev. Grip Close FB Curls-
Avg x 37/75x30
Feeling swole… head wasn’t really in it today. I feel hungover from squatting yesterday… and maybe from the beers I drank immediately post workout as well.
100 face pulls
100+ hamstring curls
50 fat guy abs
Had to do some heavy pulling, so:
140lbs on the prowler, 135 on a dragging sled x 2 trips of 60 feet
140 prowler, 265 on the sled x 10 trips of 60 feet<~~~ focused on pushing through my heels to work on my hips and hamstrings. That made this exercise horrible.
Close grip Bench- Worked up to 400 for an easy 2… the third one did something that I now notice that I have a problem with. It drifted too far down when I went to press. I think this is a combination of my tricpes getting tired and my upper back getting loose. When I press, I imagine pressing towards my feet and pushing my upper body away from the bar. This works just fine if my back is as tight as a dolphins butthole but when I lose tension, pressing towards my feet literally turns into pressing towards my feet. I should have smoked that thrid one. Every set leading up to this was easy.
Close Grip- 225x25, Comp Grip- 225x20… almost to 50 reps with this!
Done. I’ll get in some back work with my sled work today.
Loved the article on jumps. Gonna start adding some in on lower body days. The logic made a lot of sense.
I don’t implement things in my training unless I can see the logic behind them, kudos to applying that in most (all?) of your posts on deathless performance.

NO PEOPLE in real life have the same sense of humor as I do…!
Oh uh, and good lifting! [/quote]
Yea, this is why I alienate most real life people. Especailly people who can’t put “tighter that a dolphins” butthole into subjective terms. Not water gets in a dolphins butthole. This is how they can float and swim. Hence a dolphins butthole is water tight. I hope there is not a saying butthole limit in T-Nation.

Thanks for reading. I really appreciate what you said. Logic and common sense seems to be lacking in pretty much every facet of our society. I am glad that I can apply to something that is actually tangible and important… being a better physically and mentally effecient athlete.
