The Rashcad Project – 48 Hours – Life at Home Raw and Uncut

November 2nd, 2009 No comments

Life at home Raw and Uncut!

 

  

Rashcad speaks candidly about life at home.

 

Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand how what we eat can impact our life at home and our relationships.  In this video Raschad speaks candidly about how this project and his 78 hour diet change is impacting life at home.  I think you will be surprised to learn that after only 48 hours:

1.  He is not interested in being active with his son.

2.  He feels so poorly that he could not imagine regular intimacy with his wife if he were to continue this diet.

3.  He is certain that long term this type of diet would cause his relationships at home to deteriorate.

While neither Rashcad nor I wish to condemn anyone for their food choices we do want you to consider how your food intake impacts the people who are closest to you.

 

Coming Up on Wednesday…

 

Rashcad Limps In and Proclaims:  Sugar Is a Drug!

The Raschad Jones Project 48 hours and Raschad Breaks…

October 31st, 2009 1 comment

 

Only 48 hours into this radical diet change Rashcad Breaks…

 

 

Raschad made a wise decision to stop his training session.

 

At this point in the project Raschad undergoes significant Cardiorespiratory and Circulatory issues:

1.  His heart rate spiked to 180 beats per minute 4 times.

2.  He was wheezing and short of breath.

3.  He is suffering from lack of blood flow to his muscles.

4.  His upper body musculature began to ache and his joints are in pain.

 

In the interview below Rashcad details his experience…

 

 

I believe that Raschad made a wise choice.

 

While working hard is a very important part of a successful training program you must also listen to your body.  Many times we see individuals come to the gym after eating poorly, sleeping very little and generally treating their body poorly.  The end result will always be some sort of physical break down and pain.

As Raschad advocated responsible fitness professionals should always advocate true lifestyle change.  We know that it is not always possible to make radically changes overnight, we encourage a long term commitment to improving all facets of your lifestyle.

 

Be sure to visit us again Monday Morning!

 

We will take an uncut, raw look into how this diet is effecting his family life.  Impacts that include:

1.  His relationship with his son.

2.  His relationship with his wife, including how he feels about intimacy.

3.  His unwillingness to be active.

4.  How he believes his quality of life would be impacted in future years if he were to continue this diet.

 

 

It’s A Little Uncomfortable – The Raschad Jones Project Day 1 Part 2

October 28th, 2009 No comments

For Now He’s in Great Shape, But How Did He Do It!

 

 

What were the recent change to his training plan?

 

A few months ago Rashcad and I spoke about his training plan.  After a thorough review of his activity and supplement intake we deciding that he was over-training.  Like many of you Rashcad was taking on too much in his training program.  As a result he did not allow his body to rest and recover enough to achieve the optimal results.

The video above details how a few changes in his activities and supplement profile led to:

1.  Less Muscle Pain

2.  Less Joint Pain

3.  Better Sleep

4.  Improved Focus

5.  A leaner, more muscular physique

So What’s Next?

 

When you come back to the site this Friday we will start to see Raschad’s condition deteriorate.  You will see for yourself the surprising effects that happen after only 24 hours!  Make sure to share this video series with your friends and family members who would benefit.

I would encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to show your teenage athlete the devastating results that a poor diet will have on their athletic performance.  Maybe it will change their mind about what they eat.  Maybe it will help them change what the eat forever!
