I Can't Believe People Want to Know This Stuff

From Training to Reading to Working - What Nate's Up To

First, I want to say I'm very flattered. I look up to quite a few people and love getting the "inside look" on how they live.

And believe it or not, some people actually care about what I do on a day-to-day basis. I know, it's weird as shit, right? They want to know what I'm doing in the gym and in the kitchen, what I'm reading, what I'm spending money on, what I'm learning, and what I'm working on. They want to know how I spend my time, what music I'm listening to, and what I'm drinking.

I suddenly feel like I have to do much cooler stuff than I actually do. Oh well.

So this is a post about, well, what I'm doing. I sincerely hope you find something valuable here and that it helps you in at least one area of your life.

...in the gym

I'm currently following a (gasp!) body-part split. Hell, everyone's allowed some time to screw around and gain some new muscle, right? Here's my exact schedule:

Monday – Back and Triceps

A1 T-Bar Row – 5 RM (using the Perfect Rep method)

A2 Close-grip Bench – 5 RM

B1 Wide-grip Lat Pull-down – 3-4 x 12

B2 Dumbbell Skull Crushers – 3-4 x 12

C1 Bodyweight Row – 2-3 x AMAP (As Many As Possible)

C2 Close-grip Push-up – 2-3 x However many reps I hit on the bodyweight row

Tuesday – Legs

A Back Squat – 5 RM (using the Perfect Rep method)

B1 Natural Glute-Ham Raise – 3-4 x 8

B2 Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squat – 3-4 x 6-8

C1 Ab-Wheel Rollout – 3 x 8-10

C2 Lie on the floor and cry

Wednesday – Off

Thursday – Chest and Biceps

A1 – Close-grip Chin-up – 5 RM

A2 – Flat Dumbbell Bench Press – 5RM

B1 Machine Preacher Curl – 3-4 x 12

B2 Machine Chest Fly – 3-4 x 12

C1 Alternating DB Curl – 3-4 x 12

C2 Feet-elevated Push-up – 3-4 x 12

Friday – Whatever Day

Ab stuff, mobility, some direct shoulder work. Usually in and out of the gym in 30 minutes.

Saturday – Outside for sprints, Frisbee, football, and BarBQ

Sunday – Off


...in the kitchen (on most days)

Breakfast – Oatmeal with fruit and a protein shake. Double Americano with a little cream and Splenda.

Snack – Apple and Peanut butter with protein shake

Lunch – Usually at a restaurant with friends. Salad with meat, mostly.

Workout Nutrition – FiniBar, Anaconda, and Mag-10

Snack – Hard-boiled eggs

Dinner- When I try to flex my culinary muscles, it's usually some kind of meat (steak, fish, chicken) with veggies and a nice glass of beer.

    Hey Nate,

    Great post...

    I love rotating in a body part split...just finsihed one up and am going back to the essentials for a bit

    I am reading Asshole-ology...I'm not really an asshole, but wouldn't mind implementing some of its suggestions

    ...One suggestions if you're a Sam fan...Cherry Wheat...a little too sweet if you're not in the mood, but I'm a huge fan.

    What you mean you don't climb three mountains and make sweet love to two supermodels before your breakfast of steak and eggs? It's hero worship that people want to know all the little stuff you do, and I think it has gotten worse with reality tv. People want to be spectators on even the banal things in other people's lives who aren't even celebrities instead of doing their own thing (See Tyler Durden aka Owen Cook of RSD for a ripping criticism of spectatorism). I think your e-book title says it all "Become your own hero."

    Recently I decided that just about the highest honor is to be a man who a woman would be proud to have as a husband and a children would be proud to have as their father because, really, who can talk more trash on you than your family.

    BTW, read Devil in the White City a few years back and it is great. I had it on my shelf for about a year before reading it, and I'm sad I waited so long. Goes to show that the strangest stories are from real life.

    Hey Nate ,

    cool post,

    lately Ive also been planning some trips , hopefully going to this in august http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/spanish-festivals/la-tomatina-tomato-battle-bunyol.htm

    and possible some other exciting places and things abroad. Places I recommend you visit would be Barcelona, the architecture and the sights and sounds are just breathtaking, same goes for Budapest and possible Derry or Dublin if you're looking to head to Ireland.

    As far as music goes some of the new God smack stuff is pretty good as well as the new deftones album. Books wise I'm reading Lance armstrong: The World's Greatest Champion by John Wilcockson and some random sports psychology books

    Good stuff Nate keep it coming. Currently I'm reading Omnivore's Dilemma (scary and interesting all at the same time). I have also been "tasting" different microbrews. Best beer so far is from Squatters in SLC, it's called Hop Rising. mmm beer.

    Keep it up my friend!

    Sascha 12:56pm May 18, 2010

    Since you're into beer I'd recommend Dortmund, Germany.

    "Forty years ago Dortmund was Germany's top brewing city. It brewed more beer than anywhere else, had the largest single brewery and was home to the most popular beer style."

    This also happens to be where I live :)

    I agree with Mike that Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is really good. It sort-of tastes like Cherry cough medicine, but not in a bad way. I was quite surprised at how good it tasted.

    If you are into really interesting reads, try Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain (if you haven't read it already). It is essentially a behind-the-scenes look at restaurants and how the culinary business works. Very thrilling read.

    Nate, regarding your trip to Europe, I would suggest flying in, buying a train pass (depending how long you're traveling for) and doing the damn thang. No plans, go day to day (if you can handle that). Worked for me, had a blast, traveled with some great people

    Cheers!

    @ John

    Correction: I climb four mountains and make love to three super-models. But only on Thursdays.

    @ Ciaran: Thanks for the recommendations! I've been to Spain but never made it to Barcelona. I'll check it out.

    @ Brady

    I"m doing a bastardized version, really. I have one capful of Alpha GPC and one FiniBar before the workout. Then I sip on 2 scoops of Anaconda and one scoop of Mag-10 during the workout.

    @ Kevin S

    I've had the Polygamy Porter from Squatters. Very nice.

    @ Sascha

    Germany is on the list!

    @ Dave

    I didn't think it'd be that great of an album, but I'm really surprised.

    @ Mike

    I have Bourdain's "A Cook's Tour" on my list. I'll have to put Kitchen Confidential on there too.

    @ Tony

    It's working well, man. :)

    @ Edwin

    Not sure yet. Still up in the air when I'm going and what I'm doing. Probably mostly northern Cali.

    @ Ty

    Excellent advice. Thanks.

    Nah, but that's one crazy combination. Should be a good listen.

    How is the Cowboy Coffee Porter? I've had a few Big Sky brews and liked all of them. I've been drinking Fat Tire Amber Ale by New Belgium, 420 by Sweetwater, Hoptical Illusion by Blue Point Brewing and assorted Magic Hat brews.

    One of the reasons I train five or six days a week is so I can indulge myself with quality brew on the weekends!

    Rhone Gore 4:20pm May 18, 2010

    You seem to like the Northwest brews... ever tried Irish Death from Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg, WA or the Puget Sound Porter from the Harmon in Tacoma? I love the Puget Sound because it has chocolate and coffee notes in it and anything that combines beer, chocolate, and coffee must be the world's most perfect drink, right? At any rate, yes if you find yourself in this area, a beer tour of Tacoma, Seattle's less expensive sister city, would be a great idea. Also as far as music goes, I've been making MGMT's Oracular Spectacular my unwind album. If you've not listened to them, give them a spin.

    I just finished "the Alchemist" not too long ago and loved it, now onto "Breakthrough Advertising" that I was given at Vince Del Monte's mastermind, it's a pretty interesting read.

    Blueprint 3 is an awesome workout album.

    I've been listening to a lot of the xx as well - very cool alternative/electronic UK band. Great stuff for chilling, some tracks for running/lifting too (intro and crystalised are the two best)

    I'm currently reading "The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini. Fantastic book, very interesting, and some useful techniques and ideas to apply to real life (great relevance to people-related stuff like training/coaching).

    It's always good to know what other like minded individuals are doing. For most of us its a steady job and training and it's good to see other like us in the trenches exchanging ideas.

    I too am training in a split but I don't set a body part till the day I train to gauge my mood for the day. I guess you can call it training on instinct. I train 3 days a week and do compound movements mixed with TRX training and jump rope.

    I work an 8hr day like most and spend my time working on my site and my show. I am also raising my two handicap sisters while juggling a relationship and just trying to be a better provider for my family. My biggest goal is training harder and stronger but also smarter. Keep sharing these insightful posts man they do wonders. Have a great time when you come to NYC. As an NYC resident I can tell you that you will have a great time.

    It's a great beer. I actually like Big Sky's seasonals and limited editions more than their original line-up.

    @ Rhone

    I've had a Brass Ass Brown Ale from Iron Horse. Good stuff.

    @ John

    Thanks man! Not sure too many people would show up to the book signing though. It'd be me behind a desk with a pen trying to look important. Which I can do.

    @ Chad

    Best book I've read recently? Probably Nickel and Dimed. Put some stuff into perspective for me.

    @ Ryan

    Look out, world. :)

    @ Jeff

    Thanks for the recommendation!

    @ Matt

    Dude, the last time I ran sprints (a couple of weeks ago) I made it through two 200's and two 100's before I wanted to vomit.

    Alexander Miezin 6:16pm May 18, 2010

    Haha Nate it looks like you're just as OCD as I am with changing training methods.Over four years I've done more programs/routines that my head spins. It looks like this format you're using resembles a Westside for Skinny Bastards one. My head is still continually spinning wondering what program I'm going to jump into starting tomorrow. I was thinking your book as you said it would be a good program for my goals of being a Pro Wrestler, but I just was looking through it and with four years of experience I don't know if it'll do the job. I mean I'm sure it'll get anyone in great shape, just not elite athlete level + strength that I need to get into.

    Keep these blogs coming, I really enjoy them!

    Interesting book choices, it has reminded me I need to read some more lighthearted stuff than it always being about self help or business.

    I;d quite like to know the process you go though in writing a book. I think everyone is capable of writing an interesting book, but it can feel very daunting.. I am doing it now and whilst I think I am going about it a sensible way, it'd be interesting to know the process you go through when writing articles and larger things like books.

    Keep up the goooooood work with the blog, love it.

    Andy T. 1:20am May 19, 2010

    Heya!

    Great stuff!

    As for your Europe trip: I would really, really recommend to skip some of the oh-so-famous cities, because they are just overly crowded by tourists, far too expensive, and just not authentic anymore. This applies to Rome, Prague, Florence, and unfortumately to Paris as well. I would recommend to visit some of the smaller and less-known cities, since these are the places you'll find true authentic experiences.

    As for countries: Scottland, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, maybe even Croatia, Estonia, Russia.

    If you ever come to Zurich/Switzerland feel free to ask for any info/tips or a free guided tour :-)

    Cheers,

    Andy

    Devil in the White City is a spectacular book! I couldn't put it down.

    Since you mentioned Manhattans...you should check out Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey. I just went on a tour of their distillery in Denver and it was pretty damn cool. I'm not sure if they sell it in Montana but it's worth looking for. It's a little pricey, so it's more of a special occasions bottle. http://www.stranahans.com.

    I'm in the process of planning my trip to Australia in October. It's been making it tough to concentrate on work, i'll tell you that!

    Nate any reason why you use the machines in your workout I'd always heard free weights were better? What kind of tempo do you use for lying on the floor crying? Thanks for the tips!

    Nate, if that's what you eat to maintain your size now, how much did have to eat to get to that size? Thanks.

    @ Keith

    I normally use free weights, but it's always good to throw in a machine every now and then for a change of pace. I don't make it a habit, but I do feel the machine flys working my chest a bit more than dumbbell variations.

    @ Donovan

    Lots and lots and lots of food.

    Did I mention lots of food?

    Nate, I'm on the BFS program right now and its going pretty good. You mention in here that you have one day where you do cardio (or whatever) How much do you recommend. I ask because I like to do some type of sports oriented warmup before my workouts, usually 30-45 minutes, something like racquetball, basketball, frisbee, etc. Is this too much?

    Hey, off topic maybe but I noticed you said an e-book as opposed to physical book.

    I published a kid's book using www.createspace.com (not connected to me just used it)

    it lets you upload PDF of your book and it sells on Amazon.com and its print on demand. Might be an option if publishing a new book is a pain through traditional ways.

    you can also upload a kindle version there too.

    Anyways I really liked your previous book and have the kindle version. So id like to have this one as well!

    Anyways besides being awesome as usual. Thats all = )

    Excellent post as ever Nate.

    I just wish I could get going and keep so many things on the go as you.

    How about an article on organisation, planning and scheduling for dummies?

    hey Nickel and Dimed is a good read you'll enjoy it

    If you're reading nickel and dimed, you might want to read Scratch Beginnings after. It's about a college kid who set out to prove the book wrong and succeeded, and it's both hilarious and inspiring. He basically went to a random city with absolutely nothing, and no way out, lived like a homeless man, found a shelter and worked his way out of the shelter and into comfort. You'll like it.

    Nate,

    I am a big Manhattan fan. try a dash of the syrup from a marichino cherry bottle and add 1 cherry in the drink. It really brings out the smokey flavor of the whiskey.
