here’s what a typical day doing following this detox diet looks like

6 am wake up. drink glass of room temp. or warm fresh squeezed lemon water. Take on dose of probiotic supplement.

6:30 am 10 to 20 minutes of exercise—rebounding, bands, yoga, or cardio. Drink a glass of water during or after exercise.

7 am Take morning dose of total-body basic herbal detox product with glass of water. Dry skin brush whole body before showering.

7:30 am have a good breakfast. Drink tablespoon of oil.

10:30 am Have a fiber drink.

12:30 have lunch. Take enzymes with meal.

2 pm have a fiber drink.

3:00 Have 1 ounce liquid greens supplement with 8 ounces of water, glass of fresh vegetable juice or cup of broth.

5 pm Optional short rebounding session (5 to 10 minutes)

6 :00 have dinner. Take enzymes and oil with meal.

7pm Optional walk for 15 to 20 minutes

8:00 sauna or soak. relax and meditate.

9:00 Take evening dose of total-body-basic herbal detox product and fiber supplement before bed with glass of water. Optional herbal tea.

That’s the basic format of the detox, of course I won’t follow it perfectly or do every single thing on there, but I’m going to try and stick closely to it. This is actually a basic cleanse for someone who has never done this before, so it’s easier and less strict.

I might do a 3 day juice fast sometime in the middle of the 2 weeks If I"m feeling good and everything, the juice fast is just more intense, because that is all you will have that day, just vegetable juices. With the detox, you are not supposed to eat any dairy, processed foods, most meats, no fast foods, it’s basically sticking to mostly vegetables, some fruit, fish, eggs.

finished the detox

how was it, it was pretty good i think

i lost 9 lbs from 162 down to 153 which sucks

i started eating regularly again, but only gained a pound back so far

first week during detox i was feeling really good, having even more energy than usual while not eating anything near as much food

second week it pretty much turned the opposite way, i wasn’t feeling good, tired, fatigued,

during the vegetable juice fast i got a terrible headache so i ate something and started ot eat a little during it

things i learned from the detox

1)i need to drink more water, i think drinking more water was a big key in having more energy
need to drink like 100oz a day at least

2)need to eat more vegetables, with all this bulking i end up not eating lots of veggies just cause they aren’t too caloric and i am so busy just trying to get cals in

3)i need to chew my food better, supposedely your supposed to chew your food like 30 times before you swallow, whehter that’s true or not i don’t don’t chew enough as a lot of times i just like throw it in my mouth chew it once or twice then swallow

i think the detox helped with getting out toxins, i lost some bodyfat as well probably a couple pounds of bf, and some muscle, at least i’m weaker now than before , but my strength might come back when i start lifting again so we’ll see

have been stretching but my flexibility still sucks and i stilll can’t squat correctly, sucks ass

43

So lifted today for the first time in a few weeks and it was pretty bad. Felt extremely weak and also so lightheaded by end of workout, after the first 3 sets i felt dead already and worn out. Used real light weights and was real weak.

Also played bball and coordination was way off, coulnd’t dribble, was airballign shots, all over the place, barely catching balls. weird, not sure if it’s mroe from the detox or not playing ball for a while, think it’s from the detox. Feel different since it

anyway, hopefully strength and everything will come back and then some real quick, will see what happens

44

did an intense lower body as well as upper body workout last week

still sore
workouts had a lot of volume and tried to go as heavy as i could, had fun did some squats, weighted dips which i have never done actually, as well as weighted pushups which i’ve never tried

can feel my glutes/hams getting a little stronger actually, like the imbalance between my glutes hams to quads hip flexors has lessened slightly which is good

45

doing naet to cure allergies, most important one for me to cure is dairy

anyway so she boke up dairy into the fat, lactose, protein, . last appointment she did vitamin d. And then she is gonna do the amino acids and hopefully after that i won’t be allergic to dairy anymore.

also starting training with squatdr tomorrow

46

If you want a good workout template then this verfreak guy, which to me does not really work. Go to defrancotraining.com and go to his articles WS4SB he incorprates some good jumping routines in the west side workout. I also working on a high definition workout template of WS4SB with some good speed training as well as my own stuff…

What you really need to do is research this stuff and try making something or your own. Be a mad Scientist and use the weight room as your lab. That is what i am doing and doing a might fine job at it. GOOD LUCK

47

Yeh, i’ve seen the Defranco’s jumping routines, i’m actually doing the paid training thing with AC barch now for 3 months so i’ll see how it goes

51

grabbed rim today with 2 hands, for the first time ever on an indoor hoop, pretty sick

the key was the run up, just keeping it fluid and not taking those stutter steps or anything and just being fluid with the jump

56

the naet woman said i should try dairy and it should be cured now, so i tried it with a bagel and felt congested right after. However, i ate a tofutti pizza thing the other day which is basically a non dairy pizza with soy for the cheese and i felt bad after as well. It’s possible maybe the dairy was cured, as the reaction could be frmo the wheat as seh tested it, and i was allergic to it, but she hasn’t treated me for it yet.

I’ll have to try to eat just somem slices of cheese without any bread or anything, when i’m feeling non congested again and see if anything happens. Hopefully it worked.

OP, Base on what I can see in your physique and vids your biggest problem is a lack of athleticism. You can tell that you are just not a natural athlete, making it much more difficult for you to attain your goals. That being said Kevin Love is not considered a natural athlete but is making a living. Good luck, it will be interesting to see what happens. It is all about the fast twitch, and based on your runs and jumps you need to find a way to activate the fast twitch.

What makes you say i’m not a natural athlete? not training too make a living off of this, it’s just a goal

59

Basically you look very uncoordinated and lack a good body composition. Ever read football recruiting notes “good football player, but lacks athleticism”. Kind of what you have going on…
