The Average Conditioning & Strength Training session

This video shows half of all the workouts Will does per session. Not included in the video are the Skill training routines and Skill work outs. But all sessions consist simply of a warm up, then Skill training, then strength training, then running with weight vest, finally laps in the swimming pool.

Working then work some more.

So Dustin is out of town and I am left to workout on my own. We started a new work out and I had to drop weight so that I could successfully finish the workout. My biggest enemy is my diet. I don't make much money so it is hard to eat right sometimes because at work all I can afford for my lunch breaks is McDonald's. I have however been able to go grocery shopping and got a bunch of vegetables and chicken breasts and lunch meat. Maybe eating better will help my progress. I took a night off yesterday and it looks like I'm not going to be able to do anything tonight because of the weather, also I am absolutely exhausted from my two days straight of 14 hour shifts at work. I don't have to be at work until 1 tomorow. I think I will do the warm up exercises and go running in the morning. for now I need sleep.

An economic slow down

Sense completing phase 1, training has changed from getting in shape to sharpening skills while maintaining shape.  Sadly his diet has hampered his improvement and slowed down his training.  He is more fatigued faster and for longer and his level of strength went from drastic improvements to little at all.  The weights used even had to be lowered under the weight he was lifting in Phase 1.  The evidence of this is seen through is loss of body weight (muscle mass) and increase in body fat.  Our hopes is that his diet improves so that we can get back to Phase 1 weight and start to see his stamina return to where it was and then see another drastic improvement before getting to Phase 3.

After the completion of Phase 1 he, on average, improved at an impressive 46.5%.  From the beginning of Phase 2 until now his improvement is only an average of 9.6%.

Stat Graphs of Phase 1

From first record of his stats during Phase 1 level 1 to the last record of his stats after completing level 3.

his stats fluctuate more so because of a lack of a consistent healthy diet. Either way the routine has gotten the job done despite his unreliable diet.

Session 8 I am a bloated Cow

Or at least that's how I feel. And no not in the way skinny chicks feel when they have convinsed themselves they are fat. This is more of the I drank way too much disgusting shit after over exerting myself and now my stomach is stretched far past it's own capacity and I wish I had a second one (Much like a cow) so I could lay down and be comfortable so I can sleep. (Yes run-on sentence! I know! I'm not doing this to when any grammar awards!)

Speaking of drinking disgusting shit... I believe I have found the most horrible combination of post workout slop ever devised by man. Normally I would just have my normal Weigh Protein shake after my work out but I am out of the stuff so Dustin let me have a scoop of his "Horse Feed" which is like the equivalent of 6 scoops of the stuff I have been taking, but the baggy I had it in sort of exploded in my car. It kind of looked like a couple of coked up leprechauns had gotten into a tug-of-war slash interpretive dance match in my backseat. I'm not exactly sure how the stuff traveled so far. Long story short, or vise verse, I lost about half of the mix during transport. Sense my workouts have become more intense I decided that I should up my post-workout supplements as well. That means kiddos, that half a scoop just wasn't enough so I had to "Improvise." Good thing I had some free samples from Nutrition Depot Lying around. In my infinite wisdom I decided to go with an anabolic protein enhancer called "Dark Matter" instead of the numerous protein shake samples that I had at my disposal; mostly because it had a cool name (ahem DARK MATTER!!!) and said, "The Ultimate Post Workout Muscle Growth Accelerator!!!!" You just can't go wrong with a catchy slogan like that. At any rate the stuff definitely lived up to its name. I plopped the dark blue powder into my shaker along with 8oz of water and shook away. What resulted was this goopey, gross, dark blue slightly more liquid than jello stuff that felt like stuffing whatever that liquid stuff is that they put in some stress balls down my throat. My stomach wasn't keen on it either. I am still suffering from it. Right after downing that mush I moved on to my half a scoop of protein shake, which surprisingly enough felt like drinking sparkling mineral water compared to the fore-mentioned. After that tag team of horribleness my stomach has basically been giving me the middle finger. It's lasted about an hour now and I'm sure it will last another before I can finally get some sleep.

On the upper note I may have also found the tastiest most bearable pre-workout vasso drink. Take a scoop of SuperPump250 Orange by Gaspari Nutrition and a scoop of Super NOS Blast Fruit Punch by Body Fortress, and you get a tasty, effective Vasso that really gets you in the mood for some major pumping.

And for the results of the workout!

I finished all parts of the workout in under the time Dustin has set with time to spare which means if I can do it tomorrow as well I am done with level 3 and move onto a combined schedule of strength and fight training with a side routine that should maintain my current endurance.

I am ready for it!!

session 7 i am jello

Okay, so I have successfully completed session 7 and it was a killer. Sorry I didn't post after session 6 i basically passed out right it and didn't have time post the next day. We have started level three of the endurance and strength training. We've added even more weight and reps as well as leg and back exercises to the existing routine. We are still doing the swimming, which after the new workout is absolute killer. Needless to say it even hard to type this post. My hands are shaking and it is hard to hit the correct keys. Tomorrow is my final test for this workout. If I pass then we move on to dumbell training and begin fight training. If I don't pass we continue on at level three. I hope that I can complete it successfully, I am ready to start throwing some punches and kicks.
