05 Jul Danny Vega – Bench, Pulls, UPDATE

I just spent the last 3 months perfecting the 10/20/Powerbuilding template with Tucker Loken, and we nailed it. The ebook should be out by the fall under the guidance of our fearless leader, Brian Carroll. My newest goal is to complete the 666 challenge under the coaching of teammate Tony Cowden. This is by far the coolest goal I’ve set for myself and I hope to join the ranks of the few who have completed this challenge.

Update below! After my training log.

Update below:

So much going on in the last month. I finished up the 10/20/powerbuilding template and then shortly after decided to switch to low carb. At first, I only wanted to do it as a change up to my diet in hopes of breaking through a plateau. Since then I’ve decided the ketogenic way of eating is how I want to eat for the rest of my life. With the increased energy I now have, I’ve been looking for a new challenge. After testing my knee with squats on Friday and some running on Sunday, I realized there’s no excuse for me not to do this. I’m really lucky to have the best coach I could possible have to prep for this—my teammate Tony Cowden. I’m deloading the rest of this week and next week it’s on!!!
