I know it's been a while since I've posted. I've been pretty busy at school working on a new project at work and training pretty hard at the gym so I'm just exhausted. Also I've come down with some kind of bug and I've been sick for about a week. I still trained all last week though I can tell my performance is weaker due to my body not being at 100%. I didn't train yesterday but I plan on doing a hybrid of today's usual and Saturday's workout just to get something in. I also go out of town this weekend for Brett's bachelor party in New Orleans so I definitely need to get alot of training in before the party begins.
Saw something pretty interesting the other day. It was called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It was a documentary about a guy going on a vegetable juice fast for 60 days. The guy had some kind of rare auto-immune skin disease and was obese. He did a road trip around the US and drank only vegetable/fruit juice made from his juicer. He lost a ton of weight and managed to completly wean himself off of his medication (prednisone). It was actually pretty incredible and it kind of makes me want to get a juicer. Guess I'll have to ask the parents (er Santa) for one for Christmas because the juicers cost quite a bit of money.
Going along with that...Mike McGoldrick from my gym started doing a Neera cleanse/fast that I am thinking about trying when i start cutting weight for a meet. I think it consists of lemon juice, water, some kind of palm syrup? and cayenne pepper. Apparently James Fitzgerald of OPT recommended it and seeing McG's results I am pretty convinced it work. McG went from 200# to 186.5# doing just the 5 day fast. I didn't see a before picture but his after picture was more than enough to convice me.
Here is his blog. Crazy
