Nice one chucko like that routine - whats your diet like?

chucko · 01-06-2009, 12:28 PM

my diet? thats a good one. I try to eat clean. veggies, fruits, fish and chicken, but I am pretty weak at times. I make frequent visits to mcdonalds, and I have a chicken wing addiction.

Lol - chicken wing addiction, dont think its the chicken wing more all the grease and crap stuck to it

Do you train on your own or with a training partner - really helps as long as they're motivated and commited!!

I train at a local gym, they push me pretty hard all the time. Its a pretty top notch gym. Cage, ring, lots of bands and kettleballs, tons of mat space. I'm usually up there 3-4 days a week. On the days I train up there, I try to resist chicken wings and/or mcdonalds cause I don't want to fart of my training partners, or puke on them. plus, that food makes me pretty slow and sluggish.

I might give that a go in the next few weeks
