Been following a Chaos Is The Plan format over the last 2 weeks having been persuaded by @T3hPwnisher honey soaked words on the podcast
Trying to get the allotted ground to overhead minutes in however that’s been a struggle.
Meat and eggs for the last 12 days. Been a lot easier than I imagined. No ‘keto flu’ at any point. 2 meals a day mostly and I am incredibly satiated from the meat.
Will leave these photos here to chart progress

So awesome to see you getting after it dude! And I am honored that you’ve taken on my protocol.
In my own piloting of it, I’m finding 180 minutes to be rather ambitious. It’s funny; 60 minutes 3x a week doesn’t seem all that significant, but when I try to stretch it out across more days, thinking it will give me more time to do other stuff, it really just seems to be all consuming. I honestly wonder if it’d be better to just do 3x60 and then use the rest of my days to do whatever. But I’m also thinking that the number could be dropped to 150 and still be totally adequate.
Good to hear the nutrition is working as intended. It’s a total system reset. You learn SO much about yourself there.

Cheers bro
Right now the priority is ensuring that all of the workouts involve floor to overhead work in there
Time isn’t really being taken into consideration however in saying that, I’ve been left gassed in most of those workouts. The axle bar work in particular has left my forearms in bits, the following days
It’s a good fit because it ties in beautifully with the instinctive training I’ve been doing the last while. It a match made in heaven actually.
The nutrition protocol has been a breeze in all honesty. I’m having 1 family based meal a week just to keep me and the family sane!
I’m so stoked to see where this takes me man

Been on meat and eggs for the last 3 weeks, last 1 has been ‘famine’ style which I am running another week off
Training every day as well. Sometimes twice a day
Today for example was
10 - 1 Axle Clean And Press
10 burpee chins
15 Goblet Squats (16kg)
Between rounds
Tonight I had eggs, salmon and king prawns. I feel like a bear

Dude, LOVED the recent video from the burpee mobile! You totally nailed it. We just need to do SOMETHING. “In battle, make a decision. If it’s a good one: even better”. Really appreciate the shout out as well, and it’s been so awesome seeing the transformation from my end here.

Some folks just won’t get it, haha. And I gotta wonder how much meat and eggs the heart attack survivor was eating compared to meat and eggs with sugar, processed carbs and junk. Context matters, but people don’t want to believe that.

Went clothes shopping yesterday and took this pic in the dressing room as I know the mirrors in those places has anabolic properties
The lack of carbs has flattened me right out
Bring on the feast

Too cold there to be washing cars mate.
Currently about to finish up my 2 week ‘famine’ phase which will end nicely on Christmas Day.
It’s been quite the experience, that’s for sure.
The first week consisted of 3 whey/casein blended shakes and 1 carnivore style meal.
The second week I cut it down to 2 shakes however on a couple of days, I replaced one of the shakes with egg whites and shrimp. Mainly because I just wanted to eat something as opposed to drink it while at the same time, keeping protein high and calories low.
There were a couple of day where I was wavering however eating nothing but meat and eggs for the last month has been a paradigm shift with regards to how I see food.
For example, I was obsessed with flavoured protein yoghurts (Skyr, quark). I felt that I always had to get my protein up to a certain number. God knows why. Strange behaviour. Now I see people eat them and I think “Why not just eat meat and eggs?” It doesn’t make sense to me. Shunning the most anabolic and natural of foods for some synthetic gloop.
During this time I have had 2 ‘family’ meals. To bond with the family and keep me on track. Both meals have consisted of Chinese takeaway, some chocolate and cakes. On both occasions I have binged because I still have these food demons, particularly with sugar, that I am dealing with however every day I feel like I am getting to grips with them. I think that’s the best approach at this point. The family meal is a psychological boost and also a reminder that processed food has a seriously detrimental effect on the body, even more so when you’ve only been consuming nutrient dense food for the last month.
Training has consisted of daily sessions built around doing whatever I feel like doing on any given day. A purely instinctive approach.
I can’t commit to @T3hPwnisher timed dose of floor to overhead work, mainly for 2 reasons. My workouts sometimes have to be brief and ultimately the idea that this is MY chaos.
My chaos consists of building the majority of my workouts around floor to overhead work however throwing some BB/Strength work (it has to be supersetted though to create excitement) in there depending on schedule.
My workouts are never repeated 2 days in a row however I tend to rotate through the same lifts just to keep some degree of progressive overload in there and create reference points.
I have been using the axle for the majority of my workouts. The thicker grip changes the exercise on many levels, the neurological one being the most profound.
Favourite workouts so far include…
Clean and press combined with DB Lunges for a set amount of time. This one wipes you out.
Axle Clean and Press 10 - 1 with 10 burpee chins and 15 goblet squats in between rounds. This is a grinder
I am now at the point where conventional lifting ie bodybuilding training bores me to tears. I need to be constantly working and THROWING weight, not moving it.
At no point during this plan have I felt the urge for carbs. At no point have I felt fatigued during a workout due to no carbs. I’ve come to the conclusion that it just boils down to mindset. I have that grind mindset, built by high rep burpee/bodyweight training. THis may have been help[ed by keeping on top of hydration along with magnesium and sodium intake. Who knows.
What I do know is that my mood has been elevated during the last month along with my energy levels.
I’m looking forward to the ‘feast’ phase. The protein shakes will be taken off the menu and will go for a strict meat and eggs approach. I’ll still keep the ‘family’ meal in as well in order to heal and purge my body of its lingering sins.

You look amazing, my man. Sounds like you’re really thriving on this approach, as well. Great stuff!

Yes mate, thriving
I was floundering with my training and went down a hypertrophy rabbit hole the last few months. I’ve realised that that style of training bores me to tears.
It’s so sterile
