“Embark on a transformative fitness journey with a 62-year-old fitness enthusiast as he navigates the challenges of AJAC’s SHRED30, nutritious food, intermittent fasting, and explores the profound connections between physical culture and mental fortitude. From comprehensive daily logs to real-life epiphanies about ‘Physical Culture,’ this is a raw, unfiltered exploration of physical and mental transformation.”

Yes, I got behind and so this will be 2 reports in one covering six workout days instead of three. Even more amazing stuff.

• Report 0; The Introduction
• Report 1; Days 1-3
• Report 2; Days 4-6

This follows Alexander J.A. Cortes’ SHED30 Program, a 30-consecutive-day gym program for max gains combined with fat loss. It’s HAF. This is a “companion guide” of sorts, focussed on old guys (I’m 62; but good for anyone); not a substitute for the SHED30 Program Guide.

Did you see the revived MSNBC article, that…

Overall

Hitting stride in a grove. Haven’t looked at the scale. But, I’ve looked in the mirror and can feel my pants. Both point in a good direction.
