WORLD CLASS FITNESS IN 100 WORDS
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Josh, a young racing car driver from our Youth Athletic Development Program asked me what type of foods he should eat to reach his target weight for driving. I thought it was about time we chatted about the types of foods the group is eating to fuel the deadlift & do the pullups, run & row hard and fast. I wanted it to be simple and there is nothing more simple then the Caveman diet or Paleo
So today i came up with a one day challenge. Eat a cavemans diet all day wednesday, meat and veges,nuts &seeds, some fruit little starch and NO Sugar, we will then blog the foods and the athlete that has eaten the most like a caveman will be known as Captain Caveman until the next challenge.
I am hoping the YADP do a bit of reseach, (i know the Penrith YADP with Glenn) did and come back to me with plenty of questions. I wonder how they will survive a day without sugar.
