Day 2 of The Warrior Diet

I didn’t feel fantastic when I woke up today, but I felt a little better. I weighed in around 212 again this morning. My body is likely still fighting off the onslaught of processed and hormone filled indulgence that I engaged in over the weekend.

My work out today was something a little different. I tried a variety of Class III CFT exercises from the Warrior Workout geared toward building super muscle fibers. I mixed some of that with some other simple exercises that I know. I am not sure how well I adhered to some of the CFT (Controlled Fatigue Training) Principles, but what I do know is that I stayed within the recommended time frame for the work out: 5 – 30 minutes.

I also bought a round timer today, but I’m not happy with the limited variance of intervals. I think the Gymboss timer from Adam’s blog is the better choice.

Today’s Workout
2 Min Jog Warm Up
30 Second Sprint with hands over head
2 Mins of step ups on bleachers
30 Second Sprint with hands over head
2 Mins of body weight squats with hands over head
30 Second Sprint with hands over head
2 Mins of Step Ups On Bleachers
30 Second Sprint with hands over head
2 Min walk with hands over head

This workout doesn’t look like much, but I was DYING. My shoulders were on fire, I almost tripped when I did my second sprint set, and I was winded like you wouldn’t believe. I imagine that when I really morph this kind of workout tighter to CFT, it’s going to be a KILLER. I can’t wait.

My appetite this night was a little better, although not incredible. While the workout was brief and intense, I doubt how much I managed to really engage major muscle groups. I definitely hit my legs, and got some good cardio, and of course my shoulders were on fire, but most of my strain was cardio and intra-cellular lactic acid build up. I’m not sure there was any real significant micro-trauma in any major muscle tissue or major depletion in muscle glycogen.

Dead Before Retirement

I've thought about the real time investment that I'm making into working in an office, for some jerk offs who don't care if I live or die. Yeah, I really do feel that way about the guys who run my company. If you are in my boat, working 40 hours a week and commuting, we are throwing away MASSIVE quantities of our life down the drain for the furthering of someone else's agenda. Let's do some quick math.

Assuming we work 40 hours per week, and spend 10 hours per week commuting, this is the break down of the time investment that we make over the course of our lives to our “careers.”

50 Hours per week X 50 weeks in a year = 2,500 hours per year
2,500 hours per year / 24 hours in a day = 104 days per year
104 days per year X 45 years = 4,680 Days
4,680 days / 365 days in a year = 12.8 years

That's 12.8 years of our lives dedicated to the profits of other people who don't have our best interests in mind!

Assuming that we are only awake for 16 hours of the day, let's see how much time we loose assuming a 16 hour day.

2,500 hours per year / 16 hours in a day = 156.25 days per year
156.25 days per year X 45 years = 7,031 Days
7,031 Days / 365 Days in a year = 19 years

In this scenario, if we live to be 75, we'll have only lived 56 years of our lives doing what we want for ourselves. Essentially, we'll be dead 9 years before our retirements.

Well I say FUCK THAT! Plans are underway to Escape The Matrix. I suggest you formulate yours as well.
