Sunday Sermon

What is up my loyal disciples! Day 3 of the 75 hard started out quite rough. I woke up later than I wanted to, and I wasn’t feeling very excited about doing 500 kettlebell swings for my first workout of the day. The main reason for this was hamstring soreness. I have been lifting weights for years and I cannot remember the last time my hamstrings have been so sore.

I figured the best course of action was to drink some coffee and eat my breakfast before beginning the battle against the chub. Unfortunately, even after letting my breakfast settle a bit, no motivation was to be found. I took the easy way out and procrastinated. I read quite a bit of James Macdonald’s A Free Nation Deep in Debt. Finally, around 12:00  I mustered up the courage to start my Kettlebell swings. The first set was torture, but as my legs warmed up the kettlebell swings got easier for a bit and then went back to a living nightmare. Enough about that.  I promised a breakdown of all the supplements that I am on and why I put so much shit in my coffee. Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this I should mention that I am not an expert nor am I suggesting that you take any of these supplements. These are just some things that I have found have helped me over the years. Furthermore, I am 100 percent willing to admit that the results that I am perceiving might be in part some sort of placebo effect. At the end of the day I take supplements  because I think it gives me an edge. Lastly, if there is a stack that I should be incorporating, I am all ears feel free to reach out via social media or shoot me an email: riksmind@gmail.com 

Coffee concoction:

• 1 tbsp of butter

• 1 tbsp of MCT oil 

• 1 tspn of pine pollen

• 1 tspn of chaga mushroom

It is important to note that once all the ingredients have been added you need to blend the coffee in a magic bullet or something of that nature. The links below will give you some insight as to why I do this.
