More Trouble Than I Am Worth: Chaos Is The Plan (T3hPwnisher Log)

@carlbm I spent 8 years studying Catholicism and was a baptism away from converting after all the RCIA classes. VERY familiar with Christianity and appreciate a lot of its principles. I found myself, ultimately, lacking in love and forgiveness enough to really commit myself to it, and I didn’t want to be like so many others that professed a faith and followed none of it, haha.

Slept until 0615 and did a fasted workout of “Cluster Bomb”, this time with 47.5lb KBs and 3 clusters per EMOM. Got 50 burpee chins knocked out in 10:53, then 20 ab wheels and 50 pull aparts. Off to the weekend.

Your new blog post is one of the best I’ve read in a long time.

A total arse kicker

You’re either a great motivator or a science experiment in progress. Likely both.

Great work as always. Stay healthy.

“my goal was to become the being which does these things. It wasn’t so much about the specific biological effects of these protocols, but about the whole person transformative effect that occurs when one is this person”

This part got to me and made it click. Awesome post man.

Not sure there’s much else I can add, so I’ll just go ahead and ‘like’ all three of the posts above!

A’ight, feel a need to weigh in here. Especially since I have the All Things Woo Woo thread, and I may need to move this there rather than blowing up @T3hPwnisher 's thread.

This is the key to life. Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Muslim, try to model the human you wish others to be.

All paths lead to the same realization, the same awakening, the same kingdom of god on earth.

If we stop differntiating, stop polemicizing, stop polarizing, we will all realize that we are on the same path.

@T3hPwnisher just nets it out with no Om or kumbaya shit.

Just my rant for the day.

@ChongLordUno Really appreciate that dude! It was rough to get the thoughts out, but something I really wanted to express, so I’m happy to hear it resonated.

@biker Definitely an experiment in action: who knows what the outcome will be?! Haha.

@boilerman Thanks dude! I can see it in you.

@SvenG Always appreciate the support. I feel like your log is an excellent example.

@The_Myth Really appreciate it any time you comtribute dude, and that particular one was awesome. Fully concur. We all have our paths.

Trained more than I thought I would today. I got in my Tabata KB squats at 0900. Staying true tabata with the 47.5lb bells, greater than 8 on the first 4 rounds, 8s for the next 3, 6 on the final round. Blew me up hard.

After lunch, took on a challenge from another location: 30 of Dan John’s Armor Building Complex with 24kg bells

Dan says this can get done in 5 minutes. That’s pretty nuts. I got 18 done in 5 minutes. Now, yes, I AM doing it a few hours after Tabata KB squats and the day after 10x10 deadlifts w/410lbs, but I can’t imagine being “fresh” would get me an extra 12 complexes. That’s an insane standard.

Right after the complexes, I took the dog for a 2 mile walk while I wore my 80lb vest. Figured I’d make the most of my elevated heart rate. Wearing an 80lb vest the day after 10x10 deadlifts feels QUITE unique on the traps…

Read your recent blog post and loved it (well like I do with all of them), I love the idea of doing something to be that guy that does that. It sums up a lot of why I do what I do, in a much more catchy way than I would ever think of.

@simo74 Much love dude! Your opinion means a ton to me, so I’m always happy when you share it.

Slept until 0620, woke up and hit a fasted 100 burpee chins in 12:33. Not my fastest at all, but it was the right move for this morning. Took on more training than I anticipated and I felt like I was hit by a truck. Thankfully, the solutions are obvious: up the dose. More food ahoy.

I had one of the burpee guys comment on youtube yesterday that ‘A guy your size isn’t meant to have such a cardio base’ my answer to this was - That’s exactly why I am doing this, I want to be ‘that guy’

@bigpappafrance Definitely the right fuel for the job!

@simo74 Hell yeah! If we were what we were meant to be, we’d be boring, haha.

Got in my Tabata KB front squats around 0900 with the 47.5lb bells. Yesterday’s ABC’s showed themselves, as this was brutal. 2 mile 80lb weighted vest walk and daily work closed things out.

DEEP WATER INTERMEDIATE Week 2, Workout 2

AM WORKOUT (0317 natural wake up)

Axle clean and strict press away
10x10x161 w/3:45 between sets

5x10 band pull aparts between first 5 sets

Immediately after 10th set, straight into lateral raises, core superset and dips w/no rest

DB lateral raise
20x20lbs
21x10
22x5
23x2.5
24xEmpty Hands

Reverse hyper/standing ab wheel

Dips

Poundstone curls

CONDITIONING:

CLUSTER BOMB: 47.5lb bells for triples, 50 burpee chins done in 11:53

30 GHRs

Notes: Very first set felt like absolute and total hot garbage. Like I had forgotten how to press. I’m thinking all the time with the bells might be getting me a little out of the groove with a straight bar. But after that it moved pretty smooth. I misgrooved the 7th rep of the 7th set, and my left shoulder started getting a little wonky at the end, which is my “good shoulder”. This was challenging, dialed in just about right.

Conditioning is still just amazingly awful. Clusters and burpee chins: who knew.

Tomorrow is cleans. It might become a wildcard. Either strongman implements, a WOD, or something else. Or I may play it straight.

Already planning out my route for the next 4 weeks. For squats and deads, I’m thinking 8 sets of 11 and a set of 12, but I’m thinking about putting that set of 12 on set 5 of the squat workout and set 9 of the deads. We’ll see.

PM WORKOUT (1530)

Tabata KB front squats w/47.5lb bells

Notes: I’m not supposed to be counting, but I found I was getting 12 reps in the first 2 rounds, 11 in the second 2, 10s in the 3rd, and could get an 8 and a 7. It might be worth just making cascading a goal until I get 12 across.

POST WORKOUT SHAKE

CONDITIONING: MEAT EATER CHINESE BUFFET

10 rounds of 10 KB swings w/40kg bell and 10 burpee chins

Time: 17:50

Notes: I walked into the garage not knowing what the plan was and decided to just go with what I did last week with reduced rest periods. I feel like I’m actually getting a little more solid with cleans and, in turn, that they’re having an opportunity to drive an impact. Along with that, log cleans can beat me up fierce, and with my 10 mile race this weekend, I’m gonna put my body through enough trauma. Time was a factor as well: had to get to work early. It all worked out well as a result. Got in an adequate amount of additional work, and that conditioning exercise fills in the cracks. I still love Kelsos with the KB handles: they make the most sense. I’m thinking I might start including them in the daily work come the end of this gaining phase.

Regarding that 10 mile race, I’m letting that flip training around. Tomorrow I will bench. On thurs, I’m planning on opening with 5 minutes of the Armor Building Complex to see if I can beat 17 rounds, then going for a weighted vest walk: basically doing my weekend workout during the week. Will squat on Friday, run on Sat, then get back on target.

Got in the Tabata KB front squats with the 47.5lb bells. Decided not to fixate on reps and just go until the buzzer each time. It’d be too easy to cheat otherwise. I still managed 12 in the first 4 rounds, and then the wheels started falling off. Another solid challenge with this.

Hey man, when you did Snakehandler Mass for the first time how’d you decide on weights for the squats and vipers? Planning on taking a crack at it tomorrow. I’m thinking that the beauty of the workout is that there’s no wrong choice, can always move faster or settle for less rounds if it’s too light/heavy. Just trying to ballpark a good starting point.
