WOD: ride 5k for time.

Today i chose to include my workout in my day to day life, on the way to TAFE i timed my ride which is about 5 k. it took me 17 minutes.

just to let all those people listening out there, along the next few weeks i plan to post my own tutorial videos somewhere on this page, for moves like the squat, deadlift, clean, kipping pullup, muscle up, front squat, handstand pushup and any more i receive requests for.

This post is just a quick one to let you guys all know i'm not slowing down. Tomorrow i will post a fresh new WOD and possibly a new PB or two.

Lastly as a coach (soon) i will always get asked "how much protein should i have" the answer will always be "depends" on your goals, size, energy needs and levels of other macro nutrients.
Protein companies want you to believe that you need 5 protein shakes a day and 4 bars, 28 BCAA tablets and god knows what else. The answer is you need to calculate the need for yourself and where you fall short of meeting those targets for whatever reason ( usually laziness or inability to consume enough food).
You work it out by finding out you LBM or lean body mass (your weight divided by your bodyfat % = total bodyfat, the subtract this from your weight and bingo LBM)
Then make sure its in pounds (lb) and that is how many grams of protein you should consume per day (divided into your 5-8 meals). this is only the beginning though, total calories need to be high enough or else protein won't be free to do its job. ill go more into this later but for the moment if your unsure of how much protein to be consuming stick 1g/lb and if your not putting on weight increase fats and carbs until you do. ( this really only applies to those trying to increase bodyweight)

Till next time good bye and good luck
