2011 New Year's Experiments

Back from the holidays and a nice two week break from WODs. With the start of the new year I'm gonna try some of the various protocols in Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Body.

There are lots of interestings chapters and I'll be jumping around trying different things. To start off, I'm going to try some of the fat loss tips and tricks. Specifically:

1. ICE AGE: .5 L of cold water upon waking

2. THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF FAT LOSS: 200mg Alpha Lipoic Acid, 300mg Garlic, 315mg Green Tea Extract

3. DAMAGE CONTROL: 30g almonds for first mini meal


First WOD back, decided to stick with PBX and run combo for a bit longer.
