If you're talking to me I have shot hoops before but I've never played in any kind of organized game or 5-on-5. I'm an okay shooter when I'm all alone on a court and I can dribble pretty well, but I bet I'm one of the last people you'd want on your basketball teams (5'8" and, for now, well over 200lbs).

I've just got too much on at the moment, working 6 days a week and usually too tired to go out after work. Having a home gym is really handy cos you can just pop in for 30 min. and you're done for the day and can just have a shower and relax.


No need to get dressed up and drive out in the cold, etc. I think convenience was my biggest barrier to exercise before I bit the bullet and got something set up at home.


I do love me some 5 on 5 though, I'm probably most similar to JJ Barea without the 3pt shot.

Don't eat breakfast and lunch. Eat a moderately large dinner but make sure not to exceede 2000 calories. Will lose weight easily eatin what you want for that one meal at night. If you eat one meal a day you will have 2000% (20 times more) HGH production in the body which is gods gift to man. Also there are studies that if you do this you will live longer. Rats that went through "intermittent fasting" phases lived 50% longer.

Wow.. 1 meal a day? That's hardcore bro... How long have you been doing that?


I sometimes skip breakfast if I had too much to eat the night before.. but I'd struggle with 1 meal a day EVERYDAY.

I've considered fasting one or two days a month once I plateau on my weight loss but no way in hell I'd eat one meal a day. But today I ate a can of Progresso minestrone soup (110 calories) around 11am and haven't had anything else to eat yet. I'm making pork chops with broccoli and brown rice for dinner.

This sounds very interesting to me. Do you have any links where I can read up on it?

Also, can one not have any calories at all until their one meal? For instance, could I have Gatorade or water with some lemon juice in it?

I love broccoli and brown rice as well.

aka the Herschel Walker Diet or the Warrior Diet:

Under-Eating Phase (20 hours) - As you can tell, this is not a true fast, as this diet allows for small amounts of food during the “fasting” period. You are allowed 2-3 small snacks of 300 calories or less each time. These snacks can consist of fresh fruit (preferably low-GI fruit), fresh vegetables, nuts, and small amounts of protein if necessary.

Overeating Phase (4 hours)
- When “dinner” time rolls around, once you begin your first meal, you then get 4 hours to eat as many times as you need, until you reach satisfaction. Ori recommends eating by “feel” and taking 20 minutes in between each “meal” to determine if you are still hungry. A good rule of thumb, according to Ori, is to stop eating when you feel more thirsty than hungry. IMPORTANT: During the over-eating phase, begin with fresh veggies, such as a salad, move on to cooked veggies, followed by animal protein, and lastly, carbohydrates if you choose to have them.

I tried it a few years back. My problem was that I couldn't get to sleep after slopping down a bigger meal at night than I normally did. It actually helps some people sleep though I guess.

This honestly sounds perfect for me. I usually never ate lunch at work and only had one XL coffee black with sugar, all day from the time I got up at 5:15am til about 4pm. But about eleven days ago, I started eating better and working out and tracking everything I eat. To perfection. After a month or so of this, I'll post what I ate every single day...it's basically around 3,000 calories, 210 grams of protein and 30 grams of fat.

for study with hgh secretion.

For study of increasing metabolism. Eating 1 meal a day actually increases your alertness and energy. It has been hypothesized because it makes your body go into "hunting mode" by releasing adrenoline.

So intermittent fasting increases HGH the muscle building fat reducing hormone. It also increases your metabolism. PLUS it makes it so it is easier to eat less than 2000 calories a day. It pains me to admit it but I used to be 265 lbs in college. I have the stretch marks to prove it. I am currently 185 pounds (6'0" btw). Intermittent fasting for 3 years with breaks when I am visiting family etc.

Google "herchel walker diet" or "warrior diet" or "intermittent fasting"

There is a youtube channel dedicated to it called "fasting twins"

Here is a video on them. They have tons of videos on it.

Probably more like JJ Abrams.
