TSull has been MIA.

I apologize to anyone following along. I haven't wrote a blog in weeks. I haven't forgotten about the blog, I just really haven't been struck with any topics worthy of writing. I really don't have a set system for the blog, when something strikes me as a potential topic, I write about it. I think I need to start to plan better so I can write more frequently. So today I will just rattle some things off that are on my mind:

1. "You can't out train a shitty diet." I forget where I heard this originally but a lot of fitness pros throw around a variation of this. Recently I have started dialing the diet in because we are fast approaching shirts off season, and with some focus, fat will fall off you. Here are some tweaks I have made.

a. Less booze. I have cut back the frequency of how much I drink and it has made a huge difference. I still have one night where I let the wheels rattle off the bus because I enjoy the hell out of it.

b. Except for Sundays, almost zero grains and starches

Just these two have made a huge difference.

2. A book I read by Nate Green called "Built for Show" may have nailed it. A seasonal approach to training seems to really be paying off for me. I didn't follow Nate's program but I spent the winter with a laser focus on increasing my lifts and really pounding the weights. I cut way back on "cardio" and plyos and watched my weight go up to about 210. As the weather warms up I have added back some conditioning at the end of a lift along with a couple of days per week where I perform fast paced, intense circuits. As my abs start to resurface, I find that I am about 205 lbs and lean. At 200 pounds I think I can get my bodyfat to where I usually am at about 190 or so pounds.

3. As the weather gets nicer, attendance has been up at "Saturday Sweat". Here is some footage from last week's session. If you have been thinking about coming down, here you go:



4. I have been eating "Ezekial Bread" with breakfast for the past couple of weeks and love it. It is made from sprouted grains and is a complete protein. Swap this out for your bread products and you will look and feel better. It can be found in the health section freezer at Stop and Shop, bottom shelf. It is kind of hidden and is in a bright orange package. I think it is on the bottom shelf because its not popular with the general public/land whales.

5. With the weather starting to get nicer, you need to start today building the physique you want to unveil when you take your clothes off. What will people say about you? Because they are definitely judging you.
