Over the weekend I had some time to catch up on my reading. I decided to motivate myself a little more for my fat loss transformation by rereading Brad Pilon’s Intermittent Fasting Book as it is an integral part of my plan.

One of the cool things I was reminded about fasting is that you can workout while you are doing it. In fact, Brad not only recommends that you workout three times during the week when fasting, but also adds that you can train on days that you fast without problem.

I can confirm this. A month or so ago I decided to participate in an internet pull up contest. I managed to do 15 strict dead hang pull ups. My all time record is 17. The deadline for the final entry in the contest was Thanksgiving. It just so happened that I was fasting on that day because it was a Thursday and my plan was to fast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I wasn’t going to alter my plan. Plus, a nice dinner was awaiting me at home because my 24 hour fasts are from 8-9pm to 8-9pm the following day.


[As you can see, no performance problems here. In fact, I did slightly better than the previous time.]

You see, when you eat, some of the sugar or energy from the food enters your muscles. Now, it can only leave them through exercise. So if you have a nice dinner tonight and don’t eat nothing the next day, like I did, you will still have the food energy from the dinner in your muscles.

You got one month to train. At the end whoever does the most pullups will win and get lots of cool stuff from Zach. Here is my entry. Did 15 strict pullups.

[I think the Fugees are great. They got the hook for this song from Enya by the way. Sampling music is fun!]

Some rules from Zach: Record your first pull up baseline video, and post it in response to this video below in the comments section. The title of your video should be: Underground Pull Up Contest with ___________ (your name). Post your video on youtube.com – this will make it VERY easy for all of us to search those competing by simply typing in “Underground Pull Up Contest”….

the rules:

  • no kipping
  • full range of motion
  • kick ass music in the background
  • introduce yourself: name and location
  • BIG RULE: talk trash, lots of it! like WWE – call people out and have FUN!
