Pump: 7
Strength: 7

Overall Grade: C

I fell asleep with idea of not going to do cardio cause I am CARBin UP today. So I manged to wake up 10 minutes late. When everything was set and done I was at the gym by 5:40am. None of that silly shit so I managed and said to myself:I MUST go NOW. No slacking off prohibited in here. I went for the longer yet slower cardio this morning.

Don't really "feel' any difference since I started taking Sesathin w/ green tea as of yet. Its only been two days so lets see a month from today...Numbers dont lie...

Nothing totally new from the cardio session. Up early to shave and take shower...

Carb-Up yesterday. I had been carbin up every 6 days but will keep it every 7 days. So "hopefully" my carb up days will now remain Wednesdays. I weigh in at 223lb this morning after a hefty carb-up. Been unable to get my BF measured cause there is no one available in the morning.

Quote:

Lifting today. Had one meal prior to going. Had awesome workout! I also did 15 minutes of HIIT. I did it the way its ment to be done. Running one minute at 8.5-9.0mph and one minute at 6.0mph. ALOT of sweating but a piece of cake

Quote:

Got some measurements done today. Will get them done again tomorrow when I get more time and do both.

ARMS:
R. 16 1/2-3/4
L. 16 1/2

QUADS:
R. 27

CALVES:
R. 17

That is it for now... Will get everything else done tomorrow and my arms redone too.

Thats it

DAY 56 OF 153

Quote:

Cardio
47 minutes;
20 Minutes in the bike ( first time ever..my legs were burning!)
10 in the stairmaster
17 in the tredmill: 10 Minutes-->1minute @ 9.5-9.8mph 1 minute @6.8-7.0mph for a total of 10 minutes. 3 Minutes walking on incline and then the rest slow to cool off. Hit my fastest mile ever! Amazing energy!

Intensity: 9.5
Focus: 9.5
Pump: 9
Strength: 9

Overall Grade: A+

NOTES:
Here is what I think is helping my recovery:
Started taking Sesathin
BCAA: 10g before working and 10g right before (When doing cardio w/ empty stomach I DONT take any BCAA before ONLY after!)
ALA: 300mg 30 minutes before and 300mg after w/ 300 mg before bed.
Citrulline Malate: Does it help recovery? Endurance? Well helps w/ pump and a little bit w/ endurance. 3-6g Daily.
Whey Protein: Taking .5 srvg. of whey protein right after cardio.

Crobar · 04-01-2006, 10:45 AM

Wow, I did close grip Preacher Curl yesterday and my outter bicep is DEAD sore. My legs are super sore from those db lunges. I recommend everyone try em after leg pressing. See if you can walk after two sets...

DAY 62 OF 153

Just got back from the University open house. I am soo cheap to even pay the 35$ application fee that I wait till the last minute..:boink1: Its really out of my hands now and up to the commies at the admin office. :lick: Well, I was willing to do free favors... :buttlick: hahahha

I can only sit and wait now till they A. request an interview B. Accept me. My essay was above average but SAT's were bad cause I took like a joke and did not even bring a calc when I took it. I got a combined 900. My gpa in h.s was a decent 87.5 though. :boink1: I'll keep you all updated. I really don't have much a backup if I don't get accepted. Its do it die...Love the location though, its RIGHT next to my mother's house...and a 5-10 minute drive from my house. can't beat that guys! Its also offers a very good marketing program.

Crobar · 04-03-2006, 11:49 AM

I found out my maxes for my new HST routine. Took a week ( 7 days ) off from lifting after finishing my first HST CYCLE. I am like totally WASTED. Gave it 110%. Had a super fantastic protein shake after my workout. Feeling GREAT! I did 25 minutes of cardio after lifting. I was super tired but thats how bad I want this shit. God willing. I am slowly cutting and I can totally see small differece in my quads every week. Its amazing! Yet to lose strength! Sign are good thus far. Once I lose my love handles then the party will really start. I'll give it another 2.5 months and they will be almost gone.

No time for rest, AM CARDIO TOMORROW!
