In recent weeks, this site has more accurately been One Kind of Heavy. I've been doing a looooot of metal content and not much in the way of fitness content. If I have any long-time readers, you might recognize this as a pattern. But hey, metal is a much easier hobby to maintain than fitness. Today, however, you fitness fans are in for a treat! Well, maybe not a treat, but a legitimate piece of BKOH-original fitness advice, anyway. Warning: if you follow this particular tip, your family may disown you. You may find yourself ripped yet lonely. Still with me? Then head onwards for a very simple, very healthy, and very, very smelly breakfast recipe!

Here it is, folks: the most perfect Both Kinds of Heavy topic of all time. Today, the new Jeff Nippard newsletter hit my inbox on this very topic. It turns out that there have been many studies on this topic over the years, and science actually has an answer to this question.

During my appearance on the radio last weekend, I said my goal was to get back to posting some fitness content this week. What I'd love to say right now is that I'm fully back on track - last week I got into the gym five times, and used my diet tracking app most days. I wanted to be able to say that this was my second week without any hiccups in my fitness plan.
Unfortunately, I can't say that. Yesterday, I had to work from home due to an unexpected repair issue that popped up. As I work out in my office's gym, I missed that workout. I'm back in the office today, but didn't want to start on this week's five day routine when I'd only be able to get four days in. But, I did get into the gym today for a little freestyle workout - 16 sets of two pull-ups, with a minute and a half of rest in between. The rest of the week, I'll go into the gym and use some of the other foundational exercise routines I've learned over the past several years of lifting. And, if nothing else breaks next week, I'll get back to my standard five-day routine next week. Just putting it out there to keep myself honest.

Well, I stayed up way past my bedtime last night to join KFAI's Root of All Evil show, but it was definitely worth it. I had an absolute blast talking about this site, fitness, and Fire in the Mountains. You can listen to the archived show here. I stick around for the first three hours. Thanks again to host The Doof Lawyer for having me on!

I put myself through these tests and did indeed find some weak points.

Had I not stalled out, I would be finished up with my current 12-week program by now. Instead, I'm on my third attempt to get through week 10. But like SpongeBob, I shall persevere. He's honestly a great fitness role model! The little dude just doesn't quit and has a great attitude no matter what challenges come his way. Plus, he seems very comfortable in his own skin (does he have skin?).
I'm going to channel my inner SpongeBob. I'll get through this program in fits and starts, but I'll get it done. Then I'll keep thing up with "maintenance" workouts as much as possible through to the new year, when I'll start my next program, full of confidence that I'll get through this fitness low point and come back stronger than ever. Just like SpongeBob would do.
Then I'll celebrate with a Krabby Patty, because life is about balance. And let's be honest, they look tasty as hell.
