Recap Week 2 - Rite of Passage Classic 16kg - 09/04/2025
Everything felt great this week. My chin ups have gotten much easier and my pressing groove feels really smooth. I practically flew up to the bar on a few chin reps which prove I am losing weight, getting strong and/or becoming more familiar with the movement. I'm proud of myself for staying on track and consistent. I've also felt extremely mobility, strong and flexible throughout the day. I'm able to squat, spring up and move with a bounciness that has been eluding me for the last few years (due to my own poor decision making). While I've always been more mobile and stronger than your average bear (almost freakishly so), I have higher standards for myself.
I will also be changing up my dietary practices a bit. I am incorporating fruit during the day to deviate from the fasting to undereating instead. The main reason for this is I simply think I need fruit in my diet and the simplest way for me to incorporate this is via the undereating/fasting stage of the day. I also believe that eating produce during the day on this regimen primes the stomach with live/digestive enzymes and allows you to absorb your main meal better (empirical evidence). I am also incorporating protein shakes with the fruit to increase some protein intake. They're clean and grass fed protein shakes with about 20 grams each. I'll drink three throughout the day and thus net about 60 grams of protein before even hitting my main meal. Another reason for this is because I have a habit of overextending myself when it comes to fasting/under-eating. I walk at least 10,000 steps per day, have an active occupation (if you do it right) and am working out on top of it. I need protein and calories dammit. I won't be having these shakes or fruit on my days off, those days will be spent fasting.
Onto week 3!
