TweetAwesome work as always Guns! I always enjoy the torture of sled work! They just recently removed the one I used at the gym as well as the battle ropes. They have a crossfit type room that you have to pay an extra $150 a month to go in--they seem to take all of the good stuff from the gym.

what's great for me is that only 2 gyms in my area have sleds and one isnt that well suited for my training and the other is about a 20 min drive without traffic. so a couple of my clients that i work with got together and bought me a prowler of my own for easter. so now i can take it with me to whichever gym we are training at for the day. no way i would pay that much extra for a room like that. if you have a partner you can improvise sled work also

done for the day. great session today. the pump for the entire workout was absolutely painful and leg buckling. only real notes for today is, i dropped my lunges today because of the toe. it isnt 100% healed up and is still a little tender so i opted to give it another day before pushing it. the same goes for sled pushing. i should have no issues at all with the work this weekend.

i do them both pre cooked weight. the only thing lost in cooking is moisture so either way is fine though

So for 8oz turkey your taking in under grams of protein? Seems low for you, that's why I'm asking.

TweetNot that I added up all your macs for the day. Just looked at that one meal.
I do 5.5 oz of cooked of 93/7 turkey. I calculated it out to be about 45 grams pr, 340 cals. I do it crumble style so it's dried out l. Everytime I do the math lean, fairly dry meat cooked is about 10 grams of protein per oz.

i am doing 60g of protein for my 6 meals a day roughtly. that's just shy of 400g total per day. i have my carbs and fats much higher than i normally do also. so the mindset that i am getting with a little help here is this: i can peel down to where i need to be early, then i will slowly adjust my numbers back up to lean gain for the ending duration of my run. then the final week i will pull back so that my fat levels are where they should be at the end of the day. so in essence i am going in much lower than i normally would without stalling my metabolism and then i will spark it up as i get where i need to be. right now i am sitting a little bit over 7% in the upper 230s. once i break under 6 i will start easing back up again and adjust as needed

a funny thing to sum it all up and the strategy behind my methods right now is this. i started around upper 260s lower 270s with no metabolic issues at all around 10% with all abs showing. i did my math and breakdown for a 230lb person with zero cardio. so the game plan is what i listed below. now my idea is this: if i only do interval work and eccentric less style of conditioning and push the pace of my sessions, i will further enhance the muscle that i am able to hold. on top of that with no steady state long sessions in the mix, i am able to preserve even more lean tissue. so that's what i am working with right now. no fat burners or any additional assistance at the moment either. only down sides so far have been i am a little more hungry than usual but my energy and overall well being are much more tolerable than how i attacked it in the past. when i am finished up i will have a better idea of if it is more effective or not. i have tried a similar approach in the past as well but i was using steady state as my method of cardio. it worked, so i dont see why this wont as well. maybe even better

Damn guns, good plan!
Funny thing is I am rapidly approach the best shape of my life in similar fashion. I've been eating more 40/40/20 style with cals higher than normal and just doing way more circuits, supersets and sprints.
I am doing great but need to address my diet Stat cause I feel like I'm on the thread hold of having a metabolic issue..lol
Few emails to you and I should be able to straighten that out.
