Really liked this workout, virtually no rest. I could have done another set of the UDP but will save it for another day. Going out of town this weekend and figured why push it. Thinking of alternating CFT one week and Strength training one week. The capacity to resist fatigue, develop more strength, speed, velocity and endurance is always a good thing.

Had a great weekend meeting Ori and getting CFT/Warrior Diet certified. I will tell you that 2.5 hours of CFT training was very taxing and I learned a ton. I can't wait to apply it to my own and others workouts. It is simple, functional, does not require much equipment, and has a unmatched intensity. I plan to write up a article about it very soon. I am still sore from Saturday but did some work today.
