500 Swings & Bulletproof Coffee

Greetings,

Today was the start of a new week, with a good Swings workout and a trial of a new type of coffee concoction: Bulletproof Coffee.  I'll explain that one in a while.

For the Swings workout, it was a pretty consecutive workout of Swings doing 200 swings at once with the 40#, and getting that done in about 5:20 for time, resting 1:40 and going at the 7 minute mark for my next round.  I aimed for another 200 but felt I could go for another 100.  This allowed me to get in 300 swings in a set and get my whole workout done in under 15:30 for total time.

The 40# is starting to feel awfully light and I think its time to just do heavier swings and save the 40# for when my body needs a lighter load.

As for the Bulletproof Coffee, I first should tell you about it.

Bulletproof Coffee is a nickname for a type of coffee made with butter and MCT oil, all blended together.  Some keys:

Organic coffee is ideal, and its said that you should grind the beans before you make the coffee. I went the faster route: Going with my Organo Gold's Black Gold coffee from my K-cup maker. 

Next, is getting a hold of some organic butter.  I think the original recipes called for unsalted, grass-fed butter.  Well, I accidentally got the salted kind, but at damn near $7 for a pound of butter, I am not really worried about it.

Another item is MCT oil, in which I used organic coconut oil since its high in MCT's.  Not sure if this is a big deal but I tried just a tablespoon of that.

So, all in all, you blend in your coffee (mine was 10 oz brewed from my K-cup maker) with 1 tbsp. of organic butter and roughly 1 tbsp. of coconut oil.  I put all of it in the blender and it came out really well.

You get a nice, frothy blended coffee that really tastes great!  It certainly is a little different from regular black coffee but its a nice, tasty cup of coffee.

Bulletproof Coffee is supposed to make you more alert and give your brain a boost in the mornings. There are a lot of claims out there but I'm not doing it for the claims, I mainly wanted to try it out for a while and see if it makes a difference. I already got the coffee alone, so I might as well give this new coffee trick a shot.
