So, I’ve made one or two tweaks to the program below. I’ve taken the standing press out of Wednesday/Saturday. KB presses, bench presses, standing presses and pullups gets to be total overkill done back to back. Too hard on the shoulders. I’ve also been basically doing 5-10K runs on Thursday/Sunday and maybe a 5K after the KB work on Tuesday. All in all, it doesn’t seem to be as unreasonable as I thought as long as you very strictly take breaks when it’s getting to be too much.
I’ve spent Lent experimenting with Paleo and Primal diets, mostly by trying to stay as grain free as possible. I haven’t been entirely strict and some got by, but I’ve stuck with it as best I can. It’s worked really well in a couple of ways. I don’t get tired at work in the afternoon and my energy level has been very high. So far the main downside has been that it gets a bit gnarly and tense when you keep it very low carb and I have nasty Paleo breath. Primative man probably used bad breath to hunt. I think that’s the low carb. After Lent, I’ll probably reintroduce the occasional rice and corn and allow more dairy than I have been. Reintroducing yogurt has made this a lot easier.
