21 Jun Danny Vega – Deload Bench & Pulls

Over the next several months I will be the Guinea pig for some new ideas on training and diet that I will perfect with the help of Tucker Loken and Brian Carroll. This will be the groundwork for an upcoming ebook that we will release in the near future.

I’m having fun man. 9 days into ketosis and I feel really, really good. I started on Sunday, June 12 and took most of last week off to 1) get caught up with some work and writing and 2) let myself adapt to the low carb diet.

Although this is a deload week, my energy levels are up noticeably. I’m moving through my workouts quicker and I end up doing a little more at the end of my workouts bc my tank is still full. Only time will tell if I can maintain and increase my strength. I sure as heck am gonna try.

This week I’m taking a page out of Tucker’s book and doing my accessories first for my deload. It’s definitely been interesting.
