time to reboot the system
Ug. Time for a tune up. No dieting this time though. At least, not for weight loss. I think I've pretty much lost most of the health benifits I might have gained from doing the velocity diet. My blood pressure is still OK, but I've gained some weight back and I'm starting to get that neverending bloat again. I realize, of course, that's it's because I've been pretty much benge drinking everynight for the last month. Don't know why or how i'v let it get this far, but I'm starting to visibly pay for it. Next week I'm going to start something that I've wanted to do for a while now, but honestly haven't had the scrotal fortitude for. There's a lot of names for it, but the one I think is the most fitting is super accumulation. Essentially its a relatively short period of intentional overtraining followed by dedicated rest. For two weeks, I'll workout six days a week. Three of those days will have morning and afternoon training sessions. 18 sessions in 14 days followed by five days completely off. The goal is to loose about 20% of my strength in two weeks. Most guys loose 10-15lbs in the first two weeks and then come in a few pounds heavier than when they started after the week of rest. Stronger as well. My personality seems to dictate that I'm violently self-destructive. I feel like its time to be violently constructive. I'm just hoping that my body and mind are strong enough to handle it. By the end of two weeks I should be drooling a lot. I suspect that my testosterone levels will be in the dumper as well. Unlike the velocity diet program, the goal here isn't to loose anything. I failed at that program because I was living in sever caloric deficit. On top of that, the workouts came straight out of the "Homos Guide to Getting Buff". I hated every minute of it. By the end of it I dind't care what I weighed. However, I can't argue that it did clean the system out. I think, though, I can accomplish that without starving myself. If nothing else, I won't have time to drink. this should be a good experiment for the books. Let me know what you think.

That sounds like it'd suck. i wish i could do something like that with climbing. That'd be a bit time consuming. But i think i'd dig that. i hafta fight overtraining on a weekly basis, so doing it on purpose would feel kinda' cool.
