LOL I am thankful for the encouragement, and my quads and hips are feeling it today.

No weights today but am going to go introduce my team to the mud run trail after work, should be fun and probably worth a good 500 cal burn. Question is do i wear my FiverFingers or my trailshoes

How the powerhooks working for you Rob?

Full review up this weekend.

I tried some light rack pulls with them as soon as I opened the box (couldn't wait). Loaded up 405lb just in the top range and.... the things are rock solid.

When I way rock solid I mean I literally opened my hands and let the hooks/wrist straps absorb all of the weight. Didn't feel a thing.... No pressure on the wrists, no discomfort.

I've worked up to a little over 900lbs with just straps. I'm shooting for over 1000 with these. Saturday tells the tale...

I did the trail run spent about an hour and 25 mins in the woods running jumping etc . Looked at my HR monitor 1086 calories burned nice. I feel great had plenty more in the tank

Fantastic work. You must be in great shape to run that long/ingest that much pollen simultaneously :)

Do take care to up the carbs as you feel necessary for these events. You're running close to 1:1 which is working for you. In the event you see any slowdown the key will be adding another 50-100g of carbs daily until traction resumes.

All in all great going. You seem to be getting the best of both worlds with this... strength and conditioning!

noted on the carbs

Why do all these protein drinks leave out carbs? I know that for recovery the ratio should be 4:1 carbs /protein. I will add chocolate milk post activity maybe thro in a sports drink

Carbs are cheap.. the profit margin just isn't there. Sad but true.

Maltodextrin is around $.50/pound. It really is pointless to consume protein in the absence of carbs/fats given the precious aminos will be oxidized for energy vs. used to build muscle. And it's a poor source of energy at that. Unless you're talking BCAA's, lots of metabolic waste and it's a complex conversion (glucogenesis) that has to take place in the liver.

Good going Hank..

Do take care tough, not to go great guns on these workouts especially prior to your bench sessions.

Doing so can sometimes subvert your loading pattern. Hopefully that's not the case here. I know what you're saying though.. sometimes you feel the urge. That's when I usually hit the sled...
