Nice work Jack. Makes me want to work in some zerchers in my routine again.

I saw this marine training on the military channel in California where they have to hand climb a rock face with a 60 lbs pack on in training for Afghanistan which looked like a lot of fun. Bet you had a blast. Deads and Zerchers are moving well for you.

Thanks for stopping in, folks!

Notes: I felt ok tonight. My BW is hanging out right around 210, I’m going to try carb cycling and not worry so much about cutting and just try and up the activity level a bit and hopefully ski a bunch this spring.

FYI: carb cycling sucks would rather have 1 refeed every 4 days with carbs -last meal of day if your eating throughout the day or first meal if your interrmittant fasting.

I posted a link to some cool reading on my thread.

Or just go to Truenutrion and order 3 pounds of Cyclic Dextrin and 2 pounds of Gemma P protein take 1 serving of the Dextrin and 1/2 serving of the Gemma P, can also add in some caffiene as well…

Thanks, Rick, I’ll take a look at the link.
