Diarrhea?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. I love food but I could never understand those super high end prices. It’s the same if I had a 400€ bottle of whisky. I wouldn’t dare to drink it or be able to enjoy it knowing how much the stuff is worth.
But enough about that, didn’t want to derail Pwn’s log.
It’s a special breed of cow that the government limits the production of. Each cow is fed a special diet and literally massaged all day
I prefer piedmontese because they lack the myostatin gene, making them jacked
Also, I am at around hour 36 on consciousness. I have no idea what meal I am on, but it was a salmon burger with turkey bacon. I like combining animals.
I was skimming back for SVR II ideas, but so far this was the best gem. Appreciate that you write so honestly about stuff. Hope you get some sleep soon.
@Voxel Absolutely dude! I have a decent ability to see myself from the outside. I’m the champion of the first step of the 12 step program: it’s like a 12 step treadmill for me, haha. Got some great sleep: about 10 hours of it or so. Glad you got something out of the writing.
Training Log: Entry 2407
AM WORKOUT (0645)
Juarez Valley front squats 185lbs with 5 six count burpees between sets
11
1
10
2
etc etc
Time: 20:24
50 pull aparts
SSB squat stripset
20x185
10x135
20 standing ab wheel
Notes: Man I dig this workout. It just hits everything. On the lower rep portions I try to get the set-up done quickly, which is similar to the quick transitions in strongman, while I try a stronger set-up for the high rep stuff. The burpees after the high reps tend to be slower to allow me to recover, while after the low rep stuff I can rush the burpees. Just very tailorable, and still so much room to play with. Today I shot for a higher rep total at the start, but I can always keep reps the same and try for a faster time or a higher weight. The burpees could become swings, ab wheel, cleans, etc etc. If I was an athlete I could start the front squats from the floor, but let’s not get crazy.
I had a little more in me on those SSB squats, but not much else. With this being the first official week of SVR II, I didn’t want to completely bury myself on a day that is technically supposed to be active recovery.
Rounded out with some daily work. May get in a run later.
Had a similar experience last night with my step-up/half-burpee ladder. On the high reps or burpees the step ups were very quad focused, but once I got down to the lower half the step ups became more of a step to keep the heart rate up.
Have you written anywhere in the past about how you choose your daily work? It seems like it’s fairly low intensity and not progressed?
Lately I have been thinking about some of the conversations we’ve had on nutrition.
You have written a lot about how you base your nutrition approach on the training intent (eat to support your training). Have you ever noticed that this becomes kind of an automatic mechanism?
I have noticed lately that now that I am training heavier again, I feel hungry all the time. It’s like my body wants to grow and demands the fuel in whatever form necessary. Have you ever noticed something similar? Granted our self control when it comes to nutrition is on completely different levels so I may act on this more than you,
@mr.v3lv3t Haven’t done any sort of write up, but basically it’s all the stuff I’d like to throw into my training days that I tend to not have time for. At least, not if I want to keep sessions to reasonable lengths. It’s not progressed and not externally loaded: closest being a mini resistance band. It makes it so that it doesn’t interfere with my main work. It’s only included during growing phases. Just another way to accumulate some volume.
@Koestrizer Heavy training definitely drives appetite for me. It’s actually one of the reasons I make sure to train before I go to work: I want to be hungry while I’m there so that I’ll eat all the food I pack. Too tempting to skip meals otherwise. And I definitely feel the call to eat ALL the food, haha. I frequently have mini meltdowns while I’m shopping. There’s just too much good stuff out there.
Got in 30 minutes of weighted vest hill walking outside. It was sunny enough that it was worth being outside, but with 17mph winds a run just seemed like a bad idea.
Is this because of the hassle/inconvenience of eating and doing dishes?
It is because of the temptation to just get more work done and not break for food.
Ah right on man, thanks for sharing.
Is your daily work still:
Chins
BPAs
Ab wheel
Reverse hyper
Pushdowns
GHR
?
Yup, with dips thrown in now too.
Daily work ffs 
Let’s be honest man, we all aspire to be t3h pwn
Some of us just aren’t born with those fake natty Gene’s.
Or that david coulthard tier jawline
Dude, that’s a blast from the past.
Showing my age here kiddo
What a freaking jawline though, legend.
@ChongLordUno Hey, some people stretch and do mobility: I just lift, haha.
And any discussion on jaws not mentioning Bruce Campbell is invalid.

Notes: Another press day without blacking out, so that’s a victory. I noticed the misload as I was pressing, but didn’t know if it was just something in my head. Once I racked it and checked, it made things a little better, because it was such a lackluster performance. The WM set afterwards had some redemption to it. Had a decent pump after everything was all said and done. Plan is to get in axle grace a little later, and then maybe a run. Weather is supposed to turn soon, so if I don’t get one in now it’ll be a while until I can again, but I’m also not too torn up about that.
