Nothin’ fancy about this one, just a straight-up, down-and-dirty, early morning GPP iron session.
farmer’s walks: 100 lb DBs for 1 lap (150 yards) x 1, 1, 1, 1
whip snatch + OHS: 115 x (3, 3), (3, 3), (3, 3), (3, 3)
Want to make 115 lbs feel like a friggin’ ton? Whip snatch and overhead squat that piddling amount following a hundred-and-fifty yards worth of farmer’s walking with a pair of 100 lb DBs. I did two “sets” of 3 each round — with a minimum break between the 2 “sets” — because I couldn’t perform 6 straight; not with anything resembling decent form, anyway. I completed each lap of the walks with a single short break about midway through; had to take 2 breaks, though, on the 4th lap.
I followed that 4-round lovely with an additional 150 yards of farmer’s walking; this lap, though, with a break at the half-way point for some Nautilus 4-way neck work: 50 lbs x 10, front and each side and 60 lbs x 10 to the rear. I reduced the tempo with these to 5/0/1/0.
Good overall workout. The real key to pulling off this kind of a session is the same as in pulling off a successful HIT/SS session — battling the mind’s incessant calls to “throttle-down!”. There’s just not much for the mind to fixate on during a farmer’s walk other than the suffering that the body is enduring. I played mind-jedi games (20 more steps, 19, 18, 17…) and concentrated on “walking the line”, which also doubled as working the hip girdle even more (moving toward a “crossover” step. Using these techniques, I was able to squeeze out a little more distance between breaks.

…but this seems to me more like a speed-shift into the metabolic-derangement fast lane — all for a low low $1 a day!! — than any kind of long-term “bargain”. Hey, there’s a reason why these foods are cheap — for the most part, they’re subsidized by the government. How many coupons do you ever see for grass-fed beef or locally grown vegetables? Good food might cost me a little more than a buck a day, but I’ll gladly pay it.

Commenters at Lifehacker dissect the “money saving” angle without even going into the nutritional profiles of the food:

As for the content, I cringe when I think of the old article I used to admire so much entitled “The Three Cent Breakfast”, extolling the virtues of (wait for it) sprouted wheat berries. At least they were sprouted… *shudder*
I see a follow-up article on the way: how to survive on only $100/day worth of pharmaceuticals.
