  • I do the following each night about 2 to 3 hours before I go to bed. I have half a banana with 2 Kiwi’s, a handful of walnuts, 2 magnesium pills and a cup of Peppermint tea - Between my working out ( Ruck 3 days a week and Lift 3 or 4 days a week ) along with this bed time preparation I usually sleep very well.

  • I was lifting using almost no rest between lifts - After every workout I felt good but exhausted and I wasn’t making any strength gains then I spoke with a trainer who suggested at least 60 seconds between lifts. After doing this I experienced strength increases then when I moved to 90 seconds between lifts I once again experienced strength increases. I thought with no rest I would develop muscle quickly like I did 30 years ago but that wasn’t the case at all.

    I was doing this because I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and through healthy eating, weight lifting, rucking and a good mental attitude I have been able to keep this weight off. I feel better than I have in years and I am much happier with rucking 4 days and week and lifting 3 days a week and enjoying the first 6 months of retirement.
