d-lift:120kg x3; 160kg x3/ 180kg x2; 190kg x2/ 206kgx1 didn't make it; went down to 200kg didn't make it. Was worth the try though. My max is 205kg. Went through the front squats using the same rep scheme. Last 3 x 3 went to 231#/105kg.
K2E were intersting. The first reps were showing how tight my shoulders were. However, got through it with rom improving as I kept going.
If you get the chance, maybe you could come over to my neck of the woods before you go on vacation.
Play with the diet. The perfect prescription doesn't exist unless it's customized for your needs. Everyone is different. Find what works for you. It also depends on the type of activity for which you are training. Paleo makes sense for some endeavors but not others. Every specialized athlete or industry has figured most of it out; hence, the trends in each sport. The other issue is maintaining a certain weight. If your activity has you strapped into a specific parameter then adjust your quality to quantity ratio. The beauty of what we do is found in its experimental nature. If it was as easy as syllogism then I probably wouldn't bother. I enjoy the self-discovery and experimentation. In keeping with the principles of science it is imperative to continuously pursue the truth from as many different angles as possible. We'll never figure it out but we'll get much closer than our starting point. Only personal inventory can gage your progress or lack thereof. Keep trying new things. I'm shifting my diet right now for weight control. I'll share anything I learn. The training session was done at the base gym on Quantico in their "functional" fitness room, a converted racket ball court. What does this say about the other part of the gym, the one lined with mirrors and worthless machines? Will the tide shift so that the majority of gyms will become "functional" and relegate the "dysfunctional" or "nonfunctional" fitness to a broom closet? Can you imagine buying tools from the hardware store that are labeled "useful?" Why would you buy anything that isn't useful or train your body so that it isn't functional?

btw. I started the Paleo diet yesterday. Any thoughts?
