I made the Nog pie today Chris. I replaced the chocolate powder with muscle milk Vanilla crème, and swapped the Splenda for Stevia. I also cored peeled and sliced a Granny smith apple and coated the slices with Cinnamon then added them to the mixture. It was pretty good, although the macros in mine weren't as good as yours. they were 567 calories, 54 carbs, 36 fats, and 106 protein. Here is what it looked like.

Looks awesome. Will have to try your variation. Thanks for sharing!

Nothing too unusual. I have been running/leaping/bounding the drainage ditches here in town to help prep for quintuple steps. Passers by seem to think I'm a nut.

Aside from that it's pretty standard stuff.
Here's a clip from late in today's workout. I was pretty well spent (90 mins in).

90 minutes in ... with that type of activity .. I'd be thinking i'd done enough work doing just the 26 seconds you had on that vid (not that I could ..)
making that look really easy Chris!

I'm in pretty decent shape I think. We'll see if it's the "right" shape soon enough.

Added some jumping lunges to the end of my routine today. 115lb isn't heavy but after everything else it was still pretty hard

[raynerd]

Jumping lunges look tough, impressive explosiveness! I guess training for this is unlike anything else. So many bases to cover, strength, balance,speed, agility etc. You excel at all of it and know you will be prepared 100%. Can't wait to watch!!

Finishing with jumping lunges is intense.... not sure I could add them in anywhere lol

btw: I tried the cake recipe .. it was surprisingly good. Thanks.

Those look so tough! Lunges are hard at the best of times, but doing them so dynamically, especially at the end of a session just blows my mind!

Hadn't done them in forever. I think for ANW they're beneficial, long term probably just a risky movement.

Please share any improvements you come up with. Lately, I've been thinking about adding just a bit of almond flour and baking powder

Good thing about being tired was that I didnt load the bar heavy enough to challenge or hurt my back. Had I tried them fresh I would likely have gone a fair bit heavier (which would be a poor choice this close to ANW).

Wow Chris, as lean as you are your arms still look like they are 18" or more.
You really look like a superhero and fill the shirt out well. Maybe in 10 years or so I can look like that.

[raynerd]

Holy crap, you look damn good Chris! I am with Eric on the arms, hyoooge!

You rock that shirt Chris! I so want one of those ... my fantasy of how I want to look in it is ^^^^^

Did you watch the first episode last night? The trampoline jump looked very awkward... especially the shape of the boards above it. There are some real characters on that show. It is always fun to watch.

[cmoore]

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. The voice in my head just says "you're getting smaller and losing all your muscle." Looking forward to growing some of the losses back after this show is done.

I did. A bit crazy that only 7/100 finished the qual course. The scary part is that Venice is rumored to be the easiest course this season.

The scale may tell you one thing, and I'm sure you're feeling small in clothes, but honestly, you look bigger than ever in that Captain America T shirt now that you've shredded right down

[Flounderbout]

Well all I can say is that if the voice in your head is right, then one day I want to get smaller and lose all my muscle...

It looked like you were flying there!

Good luck Chris! I've got to work out how I can watch this over in AUS when they show it

[chickeneater]

Way to go Chris!

That trampoline was a killer. Knocked out incredible athletes. I was gonna ask if you were doing tramp work, but you answered that with cool vid.

You gotta be grateful you got to check tha out ahead of time eh? I mean so many were saying they never had been on a trampoline before, were you guys warned by the producers that there would be one? Seems so unfair to those who went first.

Also the red balance hangers whatever's look cut differently than before, a curvy challenge if you will. I think you got it!

They've used tramps on the show since forever, so I've known their importance for years. Having a tramp in the middle of an obs was new but I was surprised how many failed it. Nothing in my prep changed after seeing Venice.

[ChazWood]

You're ready Chris.

We're all with you in spirit; go kick ass!

[securekey]

No matter what happens you are going to look damn good doing it

Good luck brother... can't wait to watch.

[cmoore]

Thanks again for all the support. SanPedro coming fast so I made one last fun video



Fundraiser is @ $6150 as of this morning.

[Euqinom]

Popped back in to see you're doing a fundraiser! Excellent work, Cmoore!

[EB68]

Great video Chris. I don't think I've opened this journal once in the last 3 or 4 years and left not being impressed by something in here. I can't wait to see you on the Show, will feel like I actually know someone on there .

^^ This sums up exactly how I feel.

Awesome video... there is no doubt you are a good man and an inspiration to many. Good luck again

[cmoore]

Thanks guys! Appreciate it.

Getting closer. Been hanging out at Tempest academy to pass the time. Nothing too risky but having fun.

[Flounderbout]

Loved these vids Chris. You make all those obstacles seem like a walk in the park (as with everything you do!).
I was wondering if you got to train on the actual obstacles - must make a big difference. Can't wait for the real thing!

No practice. We just show up and run whatever they build. It's a big secret.

[fittofattofit]

I thought only 5 year old boys or Monkeys can move like that
Amazing vids Chris!
