WOD 091230 -- squat and bench

another classic lifting workout on an intermittent fast day. at least i was warmed up from ju jitsu.

squat:
  • 10 x 135, 3 x 225, 2 x 275, 1 x 275, 1 x 275, 1 x 285, 1 x 285, 1 x 295
bench:
  • 8 x 135, 3 x 185, 3 x 205, 2 x 205, 1 x 215, 1 x 215, 1 x 215
not a bad workout for a fast day. i didn't feel especially strong, but i didn't feel weak either.

interestin'... what constitutes a fasting day in this regimen? literally just water-only for the waking hours, or is it majorly-reduced cal intake via scattered small snacks? curious to hear benefits you've seen from it, and whether it'd be worth trying from time to time...

i just dont eat after dinner on tuesday until dinner on wednesday. i drink water. supposedly there are some health benefits. i can send the articles if youre interested. theyre from scientific journals. basically, intermittent fasting has the same effect as severe caloric restriction in some primates. (effects on humans havent been tested yet.)
