What’s up T-Nation? It’s been a few years since I’ve posted here (had to create a new account) and I thought I’d start a new log.
Diet/Fitness has been up and down over the last couple of years… I’m currently sitting at about 220. My main goal for the foreseeable future is to drop back down into the 170s (last achieved in 2018) and go from there.
For training, I’m going to try CHALK performance training by Ryan Fischer (they were running a pretty good deal for a year membership). I’ve always sucked at programming so hopefully, this will alleviate some of that.
Now that the Devil Pups are back in school, I’ve got a lot more flexibility so the plan is:
Walk: 3-4 miles daily
Train: 3-5x a week depending on the program. I am looking at possibly getting back into Jiu-Jitsu as well (maybe 2x a week).
Diet: Probably some variation of the Vertical Diet; however, at some point, I think I’m going to give carnivore a real shot.
It’s good to see some old faces around (@flipcollar@T3hPwnisher@twojarslave@SkyzykS etc…) Not sure what this new member coach thing is, but it seems cool. Hope everyone has been doing well!
Anyway, I’m looking forward to a fresh start and making some progress. Let’s go!

Walk: I didn’t have my watch on, but the route is about 3-miles.
Training:
Metcon 4min x 5 rounds
a) 400m run
b) 3 Power Clean & Jerks (ramping). The top set was 154x3
Metcon 15min as fast as possible
a) 15 Hanging Leg Raise & 5 Devil Press x 3
b) 10 Hanging Leg Raise & 3 Devil Press x 3
c) 5 Hanging Leg Raise & 1 Devil Press x 3
d) Max double Unders in remaining time: 8
Very different training than I’m used to and it kicked my butt, but in a good way.
Diet:
5oz ground beef + bowl of watermelon
Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel (treat from the wife)
Absolutely murdered a cup of homemade fried rice and 12oz of stew beef.
Couple handfuls of Sunflower seeds throughout the day.
We didn’t conversate a whole lot when you were on here last but I always liked your posts. Good to see you back around. Are you still selling shirts/decals? That was you, wasn’t it?
Thanks! I heard about Ryan on the Power Project podcast and he seems like a pretty interesting guy that knows his stuff.
The app is pretty cool, you can pick between a bunch of programs depending on your goal. Everything is laid out nice and easy to follow with links to YouTube for exercises.
Lol, no. I wanted to write my training down while it was fresh in my mind then added what I’d had so far that day. Probably not very clear. I’m not even sure why I added it I don’t have my diet dialed in any way. I think we had pizza for dinner that night…
