I'm shedding my skin.

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-06-2003, 12:18 PM

Whats up everyone?! A few of you may know me from other places, if not here's a little about myself.

Stats:

Age: 24yrs old

Height: 6'ft

Weight: 236lbs

Experience: Started lifting in 1992 with only a few months off here and there since.

Goals: Constantly improve myself.

Here's a progress picture of me as of 1-24-03 (yes I do smile don't worry

)

I'll start off with what's been going on in life as of the past week.

Last week my sis finally got back after 8 months of hell trying to adopt my cousins baby in Thailand, so there's been alot of family involvment lately (which is cool) but my "nephew" gave me the Stomach flu for the weekend and it put me out for a good 4 days. I'm finally back 100% so tonight this is going to be the first night back at the gym in 1 full week.

I'm gonna go ahead and touch on Chest/shoulders/bi's/tri's tonight and do Legs tomorrow.

My normal training split goes:

Mon: Shoulders/Tri's
Tues: Legs
Wed: Active rest
Thurs: Chest/Bi's
Fri: Off
Sat: Back/Traps
Sun: Active Rest

I train abs 3 days a week and calves 2-3 times.

That's about all for now!

Hey...Don't I know you?

I'll keep an eye on you and all of your journals!

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-07-2003, 05:49 AM

Last night I did a short and sweet leg/calve workout, here's how it went.

Quads/Hams:
Weight/Reps
4 sets Leg Ext *1 warmup* - 70lbs/30 170/12 190/10 210/8

3 sets Power Squats- 225lbs/15 315/10 495/8

4 sets Ham Curls- 90lbs/15 110/12 120/10 115/8

Calves:

3 sets Cybex Rotary Calf Raise- 180lbs/20 210/15 250/10

Felt good to be in the gym after all the sickness, my stamina was a bit weak but that's understandable.

I just found out last night i've gotta go out with my wifes friends, oh well guess i'll try to hit upper body noon on saturday

Welcome SC. Any short term goals you are working on, or just cruising?

What is your diet like?

And welcome Cardio Queen (damn, all these "newbies").

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-07-2003, 09:16 AM

N00bie's!

As of this moment i'm just trying to get myself back in the groove like how I was before I got the Stomach flu. I should be all back to normal by monday.

Foods i'm using in my diet:

Redskin potatoes

Chicken tenders

Green beans

Tuna

Romaine lettuce

Water

Brown/Wild Rice

Eggs

Oatmeal

Cream of wheat

Low fat Yogurt

Banana's (only a couple a week)

Triscuits (low sodium)

Top Sirloin Steak

I normally eat all starchies before 3-4 pm and eat all fibirous after then. I try to get in 40-45 grams of protein in per meal.
Flax oil for added fat if needed.

**Twin Peak** · 02-07-2003, 09:20 AM

How many meals/how much total protein?

What cal levels to you try to hit, or is it more instinctive?

What about supplements?

Just curious.

**butterfly** · 02-07-2003, 10:01 AM

Wohoo... pull them shorts up a little higher there SC

Good luck!!!

**StrutDaRoosta** · 02-07-2003, 10:08 AM

LOL! Those are my sport boxers

TP - My goal is to shoot for 6 meals total. 3 main meals of which are obviously higher in protein. 3 snacks/smaller meals all containing protein. I shoot for 275 to 300g area for protein intake. Calories sometimes vary but 2500-2800 is about the right area where I land. Thanks for askin

Sounds good. We are relatively similar in size and such, which is why I asked.

Sounds like you have as sluggish metabolism as well; sucks.

**Cardio Queen** · 02-07-2003, 12:47 PM

Lots of familiar faces in this journal!

Dude my metabolism sucks, if I even mess up my meals for a day or two it plummets. I'm sure you can relate if you say you have a sluggish metabo too. :\

I can totally relate. When I guy your size its that few cals it can only mean one thing. And I need to stay in that level with low carbs to maintain as well.

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-07-2003, 01:35 PM

Cool bro I just checked your pics out, man you're one wide dood! You got some great size to work with. Your right we are similar in certain ways

I just wish I had your bi's

**bax** · 02-08-2003, 06:45 AM

Like your new journal SC, glad your feeling better. Keep lifting hard

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-10-2003, 05:50 AM

Chest:

3 sets Incline BP- 95/25 135/15 225/10

2 sets Flat DB Press- 90's/10 70's/8

2 sets Peck Deck- 110/10 130/8

2 sets Cable Crossovers- 60/10 60/8

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-10-2003, 05:58 AM

Still felt a little shitty this weekend , stamina was crap at the gym on saturday but I still got a decient workout.

Diet is back on track today and my training split is back in rotation so we'll see how things go.

I'm gonna get my carbs up today to give me some energy for the next couple training days.

So far meals for today are:

7:30am- 1 cup grits, 3 eggs.

11am- 1/2 cup rice , 1-1/2 can tuna, 1/4 can low sodium mushroom soup.

3pm- 1/2 cup rice , 1-1/2 can tuna, 1/4 can low sodium mushroom soup.

**brawnywildcat** · 02-10-2003, 07:47 AM

Hey bro, don't sweat the stamina thing, I am still trying to get back to 100% after being sick 3 weeks ago. Sounds like a good idea to pump up those good carbs and fats for a couple of days.

Thanks (I assume you were talking to me?)

We definitely carry muscle differently, but definitely similarities.

I am just now finishing up a 1-Test cycle and will post pics in a day or so. Starting 3/2 I begin my cut.

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-10-2003, 08:09 AM

Yeah I agree TP.
Are you doing anything post 1-test?

**Twin Peak** · 02-10-2003, 08:26 AM

Anything? As in supplements? Primarily just 6-oxo (other than the usually).

I plan on altering my diet and training. If you are interested, with in the last page or 2 of my journal is my full plan, followed up by some discussion and adjustments.

Based on some insight from the Avant Labs board, I'll probably alter my training a bit too.

Any PH/PS or other "supplement" experience?

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-10-2003, 08:50 AM

I used Syntrax Fuzu post 1-AD and it worked good but made me smell like syrup. (just try gettin some lovin when you smell like log cabin

)

6-0x0 sounds like the stuff to use though. You've used it before right? Did you notice anything if you did?

I'll check out your regime.

**Twin Peak** · 02-10-2003, 08:57 AM

I used 6-oxo after my last 1-test cycle. I didn't notice any effects. Results were that my strength and size returned within 3-4 weeks after cycle ended. Don'y know what would have happened if I didn't take it. From what I have read, it is the only worthwhile legal supp.

BUT, there is a discussion on the Avant board with one (very intelligent member) arguing why using an anti-e like 6-oxo will delay recovery (as it likely keeps HPTA suppressed). It functions differently from clomid, novaldex, etc.

**Striking_Cobra** · 02-10-2003, 09:01 AM

Anyone every say anything about Tribulus post 1-ad/1-test?
