BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com If you can stand it plain is actually the best way to go
 Are you talking plain as in dry and not even cooked? If so it's good with PBI just find it's too damn blah plain...then again I've been eating it for a long time too. Jodi...the crystal light is really good in it...no cals...just aspartame...which you know my stand....I use lemon...mmmm |

Saturday's Meals:
OK..I confess...I continued to eat clean...as I usually do but I ate too many cals yesterday...guess I had a bit of a relapse...cals around 3300 with about 400g protein  This is to be expected I guess now and again..coming off a prolonged Lean Gain strategy.....today is a new day...BACK ON TRACK! |

Funny you mentioned it...I look fuller and harder this morning...interesting to see how much more of a pump I will have today...trainong delts and triceps
It's kinda weird...I'm learning to know and understand my body SOOO well...it's like I new I needed it or something...it may sound crazy but it's true. And as I said I'm just looking to tighten up a bit w/o losing too much w8 so I'm not that concerned if now and then I get a bit off track....trust me though...I still ate very well....just added an extra meal and snack late night I started an ECA stack this morning too....Red Rockets...interesting to see if it'll decease my appetite which would be nice...since I'm always hungry  |

 Thats alot of egg whites, not that it bad but DAMN! How do you cook your eggs that you can withstand that many. Your house must stink like eggs  on the Flax  I like to get Romaine or Baby Raw Spinach. Makes a quick and easy salad and it tastes better than iceberg lettuce IMO! |

Not sure if you have them south of the border but I get the cartons of egg whites....8 whites per 250ml carton...very quick and easy.
Personally I like them and they have a good amino profile as well as high BV I but regular eggs too but just use them when I add a yolk or two! Romaine is gr8...iceburg has no taste...hardly and nutrients also... |

Training today - should have taken a day off but I feel gr8...just don't feel like a day off....maybe Wed or Thursday???
Chest - no DBs or BBs today...just Hammer Strength and Machines Flat Hammer 180x15/180x15/270x10/270x10/270x10 Wide Hammer 4 sets of 270x10 Incline Universal 260x15/300x12/340x10/340x9 Peck Deck 2 sets of 120x10 Cable Crossover (drop set) 3 sets of 10x50 & 15x30lbs Incline Cable Crossover 2 sets of 15x30lb Traps: Hammer Shrugs on Flat Hammer Machine 5 sets of 360x15 Universal Shrugs 3 sets of 400(stack )x20repsDecided to do some side laterals too...continue feeling full of energy! DB Latrerals 2 sets of 15lbsx25reps BB Laterals 3 sets of 15repsx25lb Barbell Cardio: 30 minutes Stairclimber & 10 minutes Bike Damn...felt gr8 today...dropped about 2 lbs in the last 9 days or so. BW at 191 and looking harder/leaner...pleased so far...no need to go lower on carbs for nw. Bonus...getting more consistent with the flax.... I think I've found my zone for now anyway...approx: 300P 200C 70F 2600 cals with cardio 3 or 4 days per week first thing in the am or post workout! Seems I may be lucky comared to some...I just don't need to drop the carbs too low...when I do I lose strength and mass/fullness and my pumps and intensity suffer. Changes to come when this stops working effectively. |

 on Flax! Nice job! I noticed less cottage cheese the other day. Those egg whites, here in the US its cheaper to buy real eggs than it is for a carton of egg whites. I can get a dozen eggs for 79 cents but those egg cartons are around $3.00.  |

Thanks BD....
OK...here is an entry for ya: RESTING TODAY...also RESTED yesterday....trying to listen to my body...feeling fatigued...my body is telling me to ease up This was evident even Wednesday when I decided to do leg presses instead of squats....a sure sign of mental/physical fatigue...for me anyway.I'm sure I'll be re-energized for tomorrow...looking forward to a killer chest session with some tri work and calves too. Diet to be posted tonight. |

OK...last couple days have been crazy (Thursday and Friday) but I took as a good chance to rest....so after two complete days of rest I feel re-energized and ready to go
Friday's Meals: M1 - 8 Whites / 1C Oats / Salsa M2 - 200g Drained Lean Beef / 2C Green Beans M3 - 8 Whites / 1C Oats / Salsa M4 - 200g Drained Lean Beef / 2C Green Beans M5 - 8 Whites / 1C Oats / Salsa M6 - 200g Drained Lean Beef Overnight - 1T PB Comments - NO VARIETY & NO FLAX 100grams = 3.5oz for you AMericans... Decided to switch my cab/calories counting to active carbs...after re-visiting Jodi's responses in another thread P - 255 C (Active) - 160 F - 62 Cals - 2225 Notes - feeling much better this morning...my body seemed to need a couple days of complete rest. I was satrting to feel rundown.....experienced increased hunger (for me a tell-tale sign of fatigue), and Wednesday's leg workout I opted to substitute leg presses for squats  a sign that I was tired.Feeling much better this morning...looking forward to training...feeling mentally strong too Cheers |

Damn me...I went out (partied) Sat night and can you say...TOO MUCH TO DRINK
 Needless to say Sunday was a write-off...didn't train...diet off BUT I did have an amazing time Sat night.All in all it was well worth it...gotta have a life outside of the gym too Back on track today...judging by the mirror it looks like I did a number on my abs from the partying...  Oh well...back on track today...I promise |

It is nice to let loose every once in a while though.
For me, the next day or so I feel so guilty about it that I train even harder in the gym and make sure my diets strict the following week. |

Yeah...I thought about hitting the gym but I felt I would just wear my body down even more...I opted for rest...which turned out well...cause I trained tonight and the pumps were insane
I'm glad I went out for sure...IMO it's important to find a blance b/w BB and life/having fun...at least when I'm not competing anyway! Diet and training info to come tomorrow morning. |
