CRAZIEST BAD IDEA NUTRITION:
Eating a 4.5lb cheeseburger and order of fries in 31 minutes
Peep me repping the brand!
To accomplish this, I took the day off work, lifting weights fasted in the morning, went on a weighted vest walk for 2 miles, then mowed my lawn for 90 minutes with that weighted vest on, went on an unweighted walk for 3 miles, then got in ANOTHER lifting session, and the only nutrition I took in was about 2 Metabolic Drive shakes to keep from blacking out and keep my protein high (protein sparing modified fast style)
I did all that just so I would show up empty and hungry. It worked! I became one of 46 out of 900+ people to ever succeed at eating “The Stellanator”…and I was still full WAY beyond capacity. I did not need to eat for a full 24 hours after that, and spent many days in gastrointestinal agony as my body tried to figure out HOW to digest about 1 solid pound of fried onions alongside the rest of what I consumed.
CRAZIEST GOOD TRAINING IDEA
Taking on 5/3/1 “Building the Monolith” and getting the workouts done in an hour or less. This was my very first time tackling the program, and on week 1, day 1 I remember, once I was done, spending 15 minutes in the shower staring at my feet and wondering if I could just quit then and there. I managed to make it through to the end, and it set the stage for many more challenging workouts in the future. I’m actually on ANOTHER run of BtM right now, and coming in well under an hour on those workouts.
Honorable mention goes to the first time I did Jon Andersen’s “Deep Water” program, of which, on the beginner workout, week 5, between sets 7 and 8, I was laying on the floor in my gym and seriously considering selling ALL of my lifting equipment and giving up lifting for the rest of my life. Between sets, I would basically have to completely self-destruct and then become born again. I learned how to time my intake of excederin and an energy drink so that I could chase away the inevitable exertion headache that would ALWAYS happen after the squat workout.
