Has my constant talk about Gym Movement become tiring yet? Well it's about to get even "weirder" so to speak. Both Adam T Glass and Frankie spoke about the fact that fixing your movement skills under load will help you become more flexible with your diet and your ability to use any substrate for energy. I was highly skeptical, having fought off several food sensitivities and allergies over the years. Several guys at the cert, most namely Mark Wilson, eats everything in sight and was lean as can be. And he is over 40 years old - so no excuse there. I wrote it off to great genetics and forgot about it.
Go back 6 weeks ago (right before I started on this protocol) I decided to go back to "old school" training to see what would happen. I started gaining some strength, but at what cost? Soon I felt terrible, my movement suffered and next thing I knew, I was going to the chrioprator three weeks in a row! Movement cost AND monetary costs....not smart in today's economy. But the thing I noticed the most is that after eating a certain protein bar during this period I began to feel bad after eating it. I started having digestive trouble. I became bound up and was no longer "regular."
Fast forward to the Movement training: I ate the EXACT same bars with no dire effects: Digestion - fine. Elimination - fine! Not that I have begun to eat terrible or anything but somehow or another I am able to handle things I couldn't. I am going to continue to try different things and TEST IT. Note: I spoke to Mike Nelson on this and he has been doing the same. He will be putting together an e-book on this difficult subject. Can't wait for that!
Training tonight: Chinup volume - 30PR. Overhand thick bar DL: 220 (PR) "G" gripper 40/40 and 30/30 PR volume & intensity. Had a huge pump from this simple workout, something I expect each and every time I work out. Can you say the same?

Dude, I'm 37 not over 40. By the time I'm 40 I will look much better and be many times stronger. You do have the part about me eating everything in sight correct. I do test fruits and vegetable routinely. My instinct is very seldom wrong on my food choices. For the record I'm 226 and 10% body fat now. I will hit the single digits with in the next month without really trying. And no I don't do cardio. Maybe it's better to eat all my food wrapped in bacon. Bacon wrapped in bacon as Jim Gaffigan would say.
