Josh Everett on Diet, Training, etc.

5'9" 185lbs 5% body fat

I had one of those Dexa body fat scans done as part of a weightlifting study this summer. As it turns out the fattest part of my body is my head. This explains a lot.

Nutrition: A Basic Day
5:30 am whole grain bowl of cereal with a scoop of protien powder on top. Multi-vitamin pack & some fish oil tablets.
9:30am protien bar
post workout: small bar or some milk
1pm protien shake & some walnuts & fish oil
4:30 protien shake
7:30 large dinner mainly lots of meat 10-15 blocks worth, some salad, some nuts

Weekends a little less scheduled, less bars & shakes, more PB & J and more meat. Usually some ice cream on the weekend.
I'm pretty close to 40/30/30 overall but never in the Zone. But I figured the anger I felt from only eating 5 blocks of meat was worse for my health than the benefits of the Zone.

Workouts are tougher to describe: currently I'm doing about half of the workout posted on mikesgym.com (just sticking to the sn & clean & jerk portions) followed by the WOD. I do this Monday thru Thursday & Sat. If the WOD is a rest day I do all of Burgener's workout + agility and sprint work.

If you go to dragondoor.com I wrote an article on "How I Trained For The Tactical Strength Challenge".  This describes what my workouts were like pre-CrossFit and when I was not serious about Oly-lifting.

There really is no magic formula in my workouts. I'm not very physically gifted. The simple truth is I work my a** off at an intensity most guys can keep up for only a week or a month. I've been working out like this for 16 or so years.
