Day 19 of my “Superhuman Project” (#SHP), Saturday 24th Oct 2015:
- Not as tired this morning. So pretty good start to the day.
- Had eggs for breakfast, cleaned the house then hit the pool immediately.
- I have to say I really immersed in this binge day as much as I could (as you will see below by what I had to eat). I feel satisfied but definitely a little sick with all the carbs and sugar.
Tim Ferriss's 4 Hour Body book lesson/s of the day:
- Do I really have to binge once a week? Answer: It's important to spike caloric intake once per week. This causes a host of hormonal changes that improve fat loss. Everyone binges eventually on a diet so it's better to schedule it ahead of time and limit the damage. The psychological benefits outweigh even the hormonal and metabolic benefits.
3 F's – Fun, Flow and Flexibility:
- Today was binge day number 2 since I began this superhuman project. This time I feel as if I'm looking forward to binge eating.
Here's the progress for day 19 of my superhuman project.

Superhuman Workout
No workout today.
Hatha yoga – None
Freediving training:
- (FIM) Free immersion warm up sets: – 1st set slow, 24m in 1:40. 2nd set slow 24m in 2:05. 3rd set slow, 36m in 2:15. Felt really good. These warm up sets were all done with half-filled lungs. My mammalian reflex seems to be triggering faster nowadays.
- (DYN) Dynamic with fins (full lungs): 3 sets of 50m, each set took about 0:53 (53 seconds) and felt pretty comfortable. Had a lot more gas in the tank it felt like.
- (DNF) Dynamic no fins (full lungs): 2 sets of 50m, each took about 1:03 (1m 3s). These sets felt harder than the DYN sets. Took more time to recover too once I surfaced.
