Day 74 of 84
Metabolic Surge: Round 3, Phase 1, Day 1
Bonjour, Shredders!
Fresh from a relaxing night at the theatre, I was looking forward to another hard week of shredding. This time, I already knew that the workouts would get progressively harder and longer, so I prepared myself mentally for this throughout the day. I admit [...]

Good day, all you Shredders!
As I mentioned yesterday, I switched yesterday’s and today’s workouts in order for me to attend my brother’s judo tournament. That means I did Muscle Rounds for upper body this evening after work. I stuck with mostly the same exercises as [...]

Day 69 of 84
Metabolic Surge: Round 2, Phase 3, Day 1
I woke up ready for an exciting day. I was doing protein, creatine, and glutamine loading so I drank this first thing in the morning before I cooked breakfast. Following the Phase 3 plan, I was to change to a low-fat nutrition plan, s I [...]

Day 68 of 84
Metabolic Surge: Round 2, Phase 2, Day 2
This was a no-protein day, so the nutrition plan called for fruit, fruit, and more fruit. I had already done all my preparations the night before, so today was all about enjoying those fruit. It did get a bit monotonous by the evening (and most [...]

Day 65 of 84
Metabolic Surge: Round 2, Phase 1, Day 4
You might wonder why I skipped day 3 and went straight to day 4 of my Metabolic Surge program. I decided to consider my Sunday travelling day as day 3 (complete rest day) instead of making today a rest day. Instead, I continued the program [...]
