The road to lifting 1000 pounds:
- First, super simple. Every time I attempted the atlas lift, I would just try to add an additional 2.5 pounds to each side of the barbell. I would attempt at this lift maybe every 3 to 5 days, depending on how I felt.
- Intermittent fasting: I never eat breakfast or lunch, and I always lift weights at the gym fasted. My theory is this; assuming that you’re a lion or predator, using your hunger is a good way to channel your strength. That is if you’re hungry, you become physiologically stronger more alert more focused.
- no steroids, no protein powder no creatine no pre-workout powder whatever. Just tapwater, filtered water, or black coffee.
- Sleep 8 to 12 hours a night.
- When you break your fast, and you eat dinner, try to aim to eat at least 5 to 6 pounds of beef or lamb.
