Are there still any of you that totally neglect your nutrition and just train with no regard for what you eat?
This can’t still be going on, right?
After all the emails I’ve sent over and over explaining how nutrition is the most important part of your training whether you’re looking to gain weight or lose, what you eat makes all the difference.
Training and eating poorly makes no sense, they go hand in hand.
If you haven’t given eating well 100% of the time, you should.
Terrific things start to happen like, less pain from a decrease of inflammation, a noticeable change in body composition, performing better at pickleball, and more quality sleep.
Along with training and eating comes mobility and flexibility work.
Having an issue getting into a position throughout an exercise is asking for an injury.
You don’t just have to accept pain as a daily problem, start eating better and becoming more mobile.

Metcon:

9-7-5
Muscle up
Squat Snatch 135/95
This may seem difficult or even impossible to do for some.
If this is the case, don’t fret. We can figure out a modification.
If muscle ups are the issue you can substitute chest to bar pull ups or regular pull ups.
If the squat snatch is the issue do to poor mobility that you choose to ignore, you can do power snatch in place of.
If you are going to substitute you need to make it comparable to the wod. Maybe something like:
A. 15-12-9
Chest to bar pull up
Power snatch 135/95
B. 15-12-9
Pull up
Power snatch 155/105
C. 9-7-5
Muscle up
Power snatch 155/105
D. 15-12-9

After many requests we’ll be doing the 20 rep squats again.
They not only get you strong as fuck, they also get you in great condition.
So, every Monday for 8 weeks we’ll be doing the 20 rep routine. If you happen to miss a Monday be sure to make up the squats either the next day or Wednesday so you get enough rest.
The 20 reps should be a grueling 20 reps, not just a leisurely 20 reps, so make sure you’re doing what you can each week.
This is important, make sure you are doing full range of motion for all 20 reps, half reps are silly.

Workout:
20 reps Back Squat @50-55%
This is 20 consecutive reps. You can rest but you cannot return the bar to the rack till all 20 reps are completed.
Be sure to treat each rep as if it’s a 1 rep max.

Give yourself ample recovery time between sets.

Have you given any thought as to why you work out?
Maybe you want to keep your bones strong so as you age you don’t fall, break your hip and die.
I hear this is a big issue with older people, like Bruce. Fortunately for Bruce his bones are strong from lifting, he may fall but, no broken hips here.
Of course one of his hips has already been replaced but the other is primo.
I would imagine if someone has the notion that through working out they will look how they want to and it doesn’t happen it would be pretty discouraging.
I wonder if this concept stops people from continuing their training. I mean if you believe something to be true and it’s not working I guess it would be easy to quit.
This is another reason you need to separate the two.
Focus on your goal of why you train while also focusing on eating well to drop fat.
