Today I am extremely sore. It is almost to the point where I am debilitating to function. Fortunately I am going to rest from exercise today and eat a ton of quality food.
This morning I had a hearty breakfest consisting of:
(4 blocks 5x fats): 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites w/ salsa
1 cup of skim milk w/ 7 frozen strawberries, 3/4 cup of apple sauce and 1/3 cup of mixed nuts (blended into a delicious shake).

For lunch I plan to have (4 block 5x fats): 1 cup of ff cottage cheese w/ 3/4 cup of apple sauce
1 whole avocado (roughly 150 grams)
2 cups of steamed green beans

3 pm snack (3 blocks 5x fats): 2 light string cheese
1 mutant-sized pear w/ 3 tbsp of Naturally More peanut butter

I am hoping some slight stretching today in accordance with my high-fat diet will enable me to dominate my workout tomorrow.
An observation that I have made so far into this process is that my metabolic conditioning (met-con) is getting better but my strength hasn't improved much. Now its still early in this ball game but this observation is counterintuitive in the fact that one would think that a heavy diet full of calories would facilitate an immediate strength increase with a somewhat inversely proportional decline in met. con. performance.

This is why this is an experiment. We all have our own hypothesises and for the most part they are all consistent, but regardless of whether our hypothesis is supported or falsified, this experiment will be a tremendous success. I think between the three of us we will have the program down to a science once its all said and done which will be beneficial for the next bloak who decides to take on this challenge.

Please I urge you to give me any questions or comments regarding the material on this blog. You may think I have some good ideas or you may think I am full of shit, but I would love to get some input as to what you think. Regardless of what you think, give me a shout out on this blog or email me at zlhildenbrand@miners.utep.edu.

Peace,
