Questions About Shredder Council 2.0?Read the post by Adam Waters here. Today began the official Shredder Council 2.0 28 day shred.  I am not changing anything that I’m doing for this shred.  It will end a little after my nutritional experiment.  I have already planned how I will be integrating this extreme approach into my [...]

Today was a rest day for me.  I spent the day relaxing and enjoying myself.  It was a nice day. I’ve been doing alot of thinking about motivation and drive and it excites me.  Adam Waters always talks about primary motivating factors, but I think that there are also primary driving forces at work as well.  [...]

The first week of my experiment is over (actually the first 6 days) and the results are in.  I had to modify my body fat percentage, so it won’t be matching up to my last stats sheet.  I am now measuring with three different measurements (Omron, Accumeasure, FatTrack II) and then getting the average and [...]

Today was cardio only day.  I was looking forward to this day because I get to spend some quality reflection time.  A typical Saturday for me starts out like this. I get up at 5 a.m. and hit the gym by 5:30 a.m. to avoid the crowds (hate crowds).  I strap on my MP3 player [...]

Today was a fun day.  I started out doing the 300 workout with my trainer.  That was a tough workout for sure, but I enjoyed the change of pace alot.  I can see how that workout is building endurance and strength (see log below).  In the middle of the day I taught my chess class.  [...]

Day 4 of The Experiment is done and over with.  The results so far are amazing.  I’m down alot of weight and fat all in just 4 days.  Sunday’s Stats should be awesome.  I’m looking forward to it.  All I can reveal at this point is that I’ve made a major adjustment to my protein [...]

Today I had a cardio only day.  It felt good to just get on the treadmill and go for 24 mniutes.  I’m amazed that I’ve lost 4 pounds so far since Sunday.  I’ve also slowed the LBM meltdown that was happening with my previous approach.  I still have some work to do in that area [...]

I just finished Day 2 of my nutritional experiment.  Mike Groom asked if I was taking uncovered photos during this experiment.  The answer is yes, I am taking uncovered photos, but that’s not all.  I am tracking my weight and body fat percentage daily during this time period to see exactly what changes are affected by [...]

I met my personal trainer at 5 a.m. and got started warming up on the treadmill.  After a good 5 minute warm up, we got down to business.  He knows my current goal is to lose fat, so he designed a workout plan that would do just that.  He has modified my schedule as follows: [...]
