Day 63: Rest

Jumped the allotted 5x5 and only did 1 extra set of 4 minutes, really slacking off...

Talking to a trainer at the gym, a large Hawaiian dude that played for the Rainbows in the 2007/08 Sugar Bowl (in which they got thrashed by Georgia), who now plays "professional" football in the Japanese corporate league, daylighting at the gym during the week. Told him about PCP, and he told me about when he was training for the NFL combine, he was on a "similar" program, though much shorter than 90 days, in which he put on 20 pounds of muscle!!!! Wow...in their program they also got an indulgence, which he called a "cheat", basically a monster pizza pigout (sounds like their cheat was not nearly as structured as our indulgence).

  1. I'm fairly sure you can't gain 20 lbs of muscle in less than 90 days without injecting something!

  2. Really what's more enlightening is what % of body mass was muscle. For a 250 pound guy 20 pounds of muscle would be doable in a few months.

    I tell people all the time, there's no mystery here, it's just diet and rudimentary exercise. But they still go out and buy the pills, shakes, and exercise gadgets.
