My strength is sound, still pulling 200kg@68 (my max being 215@66). I did a getup with a 32 this morning and that felt fine even though I rarely do them (osteo arthritis in my ankles makes getups ferociously painful). I followed much the same diet when I wrestled Greco (albeit no fish, meat or milk whatsoever) and i still threw guys that were 30kg+ heavier than me around like rag dolls.
I find I feel calmer, more energised and lighter on my feet with this diet. I feel fairly strong.
My swings feel stronger, I dont feel so heavy in my lungs either and I've noticed already this diet coupled with a modified S&S has made me stronger than I was; especially on the grappling mat.
* apologies I cant tag you guys in this (got a new phone today) hope you dont miss it
I do Side Press instead of Getups.What is your modified S&S?
Sorry to hear that getups are hurtful to you. I might have to replace getups for some time too, because of my knee. Rehabbing is going well, so I'm confident that I can do getups some day next year. I have planned to use either bent press or side press.I do Side Press instead of Getups.
I have osteo arthritis in my ankles which can make the getup very painful to do.
I love the Side Press though, great movement.
Rep ranges and swings are still the same as S&S.

Sounds like you have a solid plan. I did some bent presses in the past and liked them. I never went to a sort of max with them. It was more like practicing and learning.+1 for the bent press
I've been bent pressing for the last 3 weeks and like they way it affect my body. Different beast than TGU, with different demands from the mind/body, but with some major common benefit (full body lifts with high demands of rotary stability and are somewhat a form of loaded resets). I'll keep bent pressing for a while until my progress stalls and than move back to TGUs.

As long as you have sound carbohydrate sources the strength should be there in my opinion
@Joshua I am little busy now - just came from SFG2 in Italy, and this weekend we have SFL in Prague, but I will make some more pics and videos, no prob. For time being, check out this video - few months old.
And here a video from September, my 40th birthday celebration - 20+20 one arm swings with the Beast.
