Spreading hate supported by lies.
Just makes me sad.
And a bit angry...
Train hard, enjoy every moment and always speak the truth from your heart and mind!

Never let go...except for 4 weeks
Guys...I got my things in order.
About a week ago I visited my mother and asked her to cook me one more meal, maybe bake a cake.
Yesterday I was going out one more time with friends, had a couple of beers, today, after a big lunch, I was lying in the sun for some time, smoked a cigar, poured me a whiskey and simply enjoyed its taste.
Tonight after my workout I´ll enjoy a steak with vegetables one last time, maybe another scotch or a glass of red wine. Then I´ll lie down.
Where I´m going you cannot come but I´ll stay in touch.
Fortunatly you do not have to go to church or a cemetary to stay in touch with me. ;-)
Tomorrow I´m starting the Velocity Diet. So I´ll say bye-bye to all kind of solid food. Milk shakes only for 4 weeks.
Some time after we are born we start to eat solid food.
Especially in the western world we get very accoustumed to it. Often when talking to people, especially when the topic is a low-carb diet like all the Paleo- stuff, I discover people are addicted to sugar. That´s kind of the first stage...
I think it was Winston Churchill who said "Men did not accomplish all he did because he is made from sugar."
Let me be clear: We need food. period.
There are some theories out there claiming there could be other sources of energy availiable to us but I´ll have to expand my scientific horizon for the next 20 years, talk to 20 different yogis, do some really crazy things. After all that I´ll come back to that question. See you then...
We do not need food all the time... We simply get used to eat. Like one can get used to smoking. It´s not only about nicotin, it´s about you as well. If you have to no food availiable you can sustain yourself for weeks. Some people I have seen much longer than others...
If you keep up your training regime and ingest what is crucially to preserve this metabolic active tissue, aka protein, your body only needs energy for the workout itself as well as you basic everyday energy demands (breathing, heart beat, brain activity... Some people really are energy savers with that last one. ;-D)
So you ingest all that is necessary to conserve the metabolic most active tissue needed to burn energy, muscles, and restrict the intake of energy necessary for everything else.
The good thing is, we all do have those extra pockets of energy for such situations. We health professionals call them fat.
Ok, so we get the body into a state of burning fat. Nice...
The only thing which could be complicating things is, well...you.
The narrow-minded concept we carry around in our skull all day and call conciousness. The concept of avoiding everything uncomfortable, living in the sweet middle of life, never to cold, never to hot, never whatever your limitations are.
Only when put in extra-ordinary conditions we soar past what we thought impossible...
Even a constructed scheme like the Velocity Diet may help you destroy some of your limitations. Like Dan John wrote in his book "Never let go" ( http://www.davedraper.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DDI&Product_Code=BDJN ): "If you can give up food and booze for 28 days, you can go out and attack any other goals you may have ratteling around in your brain."
Well...I´m used to eat almost every day (some fasting put aside).
So it will definetly be a challenge to me only living on protein for 4 weeks while still working out, getting my medical studies done, having social contacts...
It is planned to have one solid meal per week, I´m not sure what that will be, I´ll reduce my coffee to 1/day or less.
To keep a steady stream of essential vitamins I´ll make part of my shakes with raw-milk, the others will be only whey- protein mixed with water. To me getting rid of the bodyfat is only a side- effect.
The real benefit I´m hoping to reap is on the mental side.
Simply by controlling eating, getting myself into a quite aggressive mindset (by the way, if you associate "aggressive" with something negative...I´m not sure you´ll like me..) of overcoming urges, impulses, useless mind-fuck which developed during my 25 years of "life"...
I´ll meditate a lot and hopefully I´ll make it as difficult for myself as possible. ;-)
I´ll keep you posted on my progress.
I´ll be starting with roughly 81/82kg (measured a about a week ago, I myself do not own a scale...)
What I´ll observe are 1)mindset, 2)performance in workouts and 3)body composition.
So: Never let go. Except food for 4 weeks.
All the best,
Harry

Getting to know a Navy SEAL (2)
You and me have something in common:
Today I felt my energy levels a bit low, I knew I was not going to get all the sleep tonight either so I decided to take a day off.
Do nothing.
Watch some TV shows.
Take a nap.
That´s a nice way to keep your body balanced.
I can afford something like this because if I miss one day of training...So what?!
I will not suffer from it, quite the opposite. Same is, most likely, true for you.
But what if your job, your duty involves, requires, is constant moving, working, running, lifting, practicing, evolving?
How can the body keep up with the evolution of the mind?
Well... Who better to ask than Brad McLeod, former Navy SEAL and fitness coach? ;-)
What can be done to keep energy levels high, at the same time stay injury free, what can a person with a vast experience with pain, suffering as well as rising again after physical and mental punishment and crossing borders formerly thought "uncrossable"?
Who better to ask than a man who made it through the toughest military training in the world?
Here we go, enjoy the ride.
HH: Brad, how did you value/use/include different approaches like BWEs,
weight- training, bicylce riding, swimming, hiking, etc.?
SGPT: That is a good question, Harald.
During my times in the SEAL Team’s I valued the body weight exercises along with running and swimming as my top priority. I had to be able to do all 3 of those exercises very well to be a part of the teams. I would supplement extra workouts with bicycle riding and weight training to round out my overall general physical preparedness. I also climbed a tall houser rope outside the compound during lunch and sometimes did the small obstacle course for a few laps after work. I found that the rope climb was very beneficial to building my grip strength, upper body endurance and core strength. I would highly recommend adding the rope climb as a supplemental exercise to anyone who is thinking about Special Forces training.
HH: Did you design your own workout regime, was it provided by the
organization or a mix of both?
SGPT: I was required to do a morning PT with the SEAL Teams for general training and then from there we would do a short run (5k) or at least once a week do a longer run (15k) or a swim. I would add extra workouts depending on how my body felt such as bicycle riding, and weight training and rope climbing. Doing the basic workouts from the SEAL Team would be enough to maintain your body in shape – but I was always trying to do extra.
It paid off as I was asked to go to rock climbing school and later taught my platoon some rappelling and climbing techniques. Without the additional training I was doing I may not have been selected to go to rock climbing school. Learning to rock climb was a big turning point in my life so I was glad that I had put the extra work in to get my body ready for that event.
HH: With a such a unit and the possibility to be deployed on very short notice, was there any sort of programming of your training possible?
SGPT: I would just train hard all the time to be ready for anything at any time. I really mixed up the training but in general would always go towards muscle endurance doing long runs, long bicycle rides and long weight workouts (usually an hour at least).
The only short workouts I would do would be the obstacle course where I may do 2 or 3 laps and end up working for about 30 minutes. So to make it harder I may run or ride your bike to the obstacle course and then ride your bike home – a few miles away.
HH: Recovery: Was there any? How did you handle the workload?
SGPT: When I was in Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training (BUD/S), there was not much recovery.
You get your butt kicked every day and there is no let up. I remember my body always being in a constant state of fatigue. So you mainly have to muster up your mental power to get you through the daily grind of workouts.
It has been said that BUD/S is 90% mental and 10% physical.
I do believe that because at a certain point most athletes, even the best, get worn down by the total workload and have to run on fuel from the mind. That is where I began my initial rudimentary mental conditioning techniques of visualization and affirmations.
Without them, my body would have crumpled and I would not have completed BUD/S.
By working on the mental side, I was able to overcome my physical weaknesses and eventually succeed and graduate BUD/S.
HH: Again considering the possibility of short- notice- deployment: how did you make sure your training would prepare you but not kill you?
SGPT: When I trained initially for BUD/S my first time I was 19 years old. I trained very hard but made a lot of mistakes in my style of training. During my second time going through BUD/S (I was 22) I trained even harder but smarter. I did long 100 mile plus bike rides and long running events. I lifted weights for long periods of time and run to and from the gym. I pushed my body really hard and mixed up the workouts. Luckily I had no major injuries or set backs. I think the key is knowing your body and being aware when you train. It is easy to overtrain if you don’t mix up the workouts. If you were to do similar exercises day after day you would overtrain and strain the body – resulting in an injury.
HH: How did you deal with in injuries(if you ever had any)? Work around them or stop and heal?
SGPT: For many years (after my time in the SEAL Teams) I was plagued with injuries. I would train for rock climbing and workout in the gym many days a week climbing the plastic holds and working out on the climbing hangboard. Over a period of time I realized that this was taking a toll on my body as I developed tendonitis in my elbows and shoulder problems. I kept doing the same workouts every day with repetitive motions (all pulling down). I was not taking enough time off to rest and did not drink enough water and stretch. Now that I do CrossFit – I mix up my workouts so that I don’t do the same workout every day and mix up the motions between pulling down and pushing. I run and stretch and do yoga and really mix it up. I drink water and most importantly I have scheduled rest – so my body is nearly injury free. This is a big thing for me after training for so long with injuries –to be injury free and setting new personal records in pull-ups, deadlift and the one mile run (at the age of 48) is a big deal.
HH: Thank you Brad, for sharing all this information. I´m looking forward to part 3 of our interview- series "Getting to know a Navy SEAL".
Guys, I think if you just read the interview you can get a ton of input for your training.
Make it 87282362 tons if you visit Brad´s website http://sealgrinderpt.com/
Also tripple the amount of information if you read between the lines and discover the implied experience of a man who spent good time with the teams.
This is as "no bullshit" as it can get, so I hope to see you guys again with the next interview.
Train hard and live every moment!
All the best,
Harry

3 crazy phases ahead - a view into a sick pig
It has been some time since I posted.
(And to everybody who got fooled by the title: I´ll not discuss nutrition.)
There are two reasons for that:
-I was a sick pig. Yeah, right, I had the swine flu.
:-D
-Second: I have been in the Austrian´ backcountry for some weeks, completing an internship at a psychosomatic clinic.
Which reminded me of a very important rule to a warriors life: surround yourself with likeminded people.
Fortunatly I had one guy with me, even crazier than me who constantly kept me on the thin line between clear thinking and almost kiling him for talking nonsense all the time.
On the other hand I was shown who I do not want to be surrounded by.
I´ll have to evaluate my future under those new points of view.
But some really interesting things will happen over the next few months.
Right now I´m back to being a pig. But this time eating like one.
I was in the mood for some bulking again and the best results of my training career so far came from the one lift a day- approach by Dan John. ( http://danjohn.net/ )
So I´m back to the program for approx. 5 weeks.
But there is no growth without building blocks, energy and time to do the building.
About the building blocks:
I started eating as much as my daily work at the university allows me. Usually this means I´m able to get 2 square meals a day.
Since this would be way to little food to grow anything I added several milk shakes with a whey protein. That way I can add around 30 gram of protein 2-3 times a day.
So far it feels pretty good.
About the energy:
I´m also ingesting a good amount of carbs on my training days, mostly rice, bread and potatoes.
The rest- days are fat and protein only.
I have accepted that I will gain a little fat along with the muscle mass, that´s why the 4 weeks after the program are gonna be sweeeeet!
About the time to build:
Well, I have to sleep. Period.
After the program...
Well, since I will be a pudgy piggy after the 5 weeks I´ll give the velocity diet a chance:
http://velocity.t-nation.com/free_online_program/sports_body_training_diet_velocity/velocity_diet_30
You got the link, so please, read it up.
I´m expecting the fat loss but along with it some huge mental barriers to break. Simply because only living on milk shakes won´t be a walk in tha park.
The training regimen will be slightly different than in the original version because I have to tailor it to my possibilities of my home gym.
After that I´m gonna be a sharp piggy, both physically and mentally.
My body will be in a state of optimal absorption capeabilities which leads to the phase three: another bulking phase.
Back to eating like a fat pig while working like a mule. Plus I´m as stubborn as one so it will be a walk in the park.
Well...kinda...you know...
I´ll keep you posted, especially while on the velocity diet and we will see how messed up I´m gonna get. ;-)
By the way, the next interview with Brad McLeod, our former Navy SEAL will soon be posted so keep checking the blog, I´m really looking forward to it and hopefully so do you!
Train hard and enjoy every moment!
All the best,
Harry
BTW: No piggies were hurt due to the usage of their name in this Blog. Every pig who was emotionally crushed due to my violent abuse of his proud name was given a cuddle- therapy to recuperate.

Needs and wants
Every time I am at the countryside I´m stunned.
Amazed by the beauty of the stars, only visible in the darkness far away from our artificial lights in the cities.
When I go back, more and more brighter lights cross my path and slowly, one-by-one, stars become invisible, only the knowledge of them being there remains with me. As well as the hope to see them again someday.

We live in a world where many people want to convince us that the "wants", compulsive ideas of possessing, consuming, certain things, ideas, are actually "needs", things, ideas, spirits we need to survive, sustain or enhance ourself.
We have lived in this world for so long that we actually forgot what our "needs" are and are confusing them with our "wants".
Maybe because the "wants" are easier, quicker to gain, capture, maybe because due to the world we created for ourselves the "wants" shine brigther than our "needs". Because sometimes when people are delivered into places of the utmost darkness they can see the stars again and return a different being. Happy. Freed.
Taking a good look at oneself can have a suprising outcome, realizing what ones "needs" are...
Those are not my ideas, I´m just a medical student with too much oxygen in his blood and brain after his workout and a calm mind because during his workout he saw stars(gotta work on that respiratory capacity...)
Train hard and enjoy every moment.
All the best,
Harry
