I take every vitamin seperately. Vit a,b,c,d,e,lecithin,etc.... But I get all mine free

Sorry about your elbows Premi. Maybe you shouldn't do Skullcrushers for awhile. I've found there are exercises I need to sacrifice, or at least go lighter on to "help" it not hurt so much.

Jodi- What about Glutamine at night? Good to know I don't need it any other time, even though I just bought a new supply of it I have ALA now, so I'll stick with that then.



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thanks Atherjen, and thanks for coming to my journal! I'm pretty stoked about the lifts,especially with my elbow problems. No I need to work on getting chest and shoulders up more. they dropped quite a bit and I feel like I'm stuck now.

Rock Congrats, keep working hard!



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Thanks guys! The ECY works well I guess. I don't feel really different except I'm not as tired at the middle to end of my w/o. I take it about 7:30am and by 2:00pm I'm crashing though and just want to sleep.

Not rude at all buddy! The seminar was kinda sloppy and didn't really go over any info I didn't already know. I need to go see a show to really know what's going on. But I did get to meet some really cool people at the seminar! I also got to meet the promoter of the competition and meet some other promoters around as well.

So worth the $$$

Did you find out about any shows before yours?

Any one there in your competition?

a) those lifts are nothing to shake a stick at my man (good job)
b) you are dieting for ashow and it can be dificult to add strength when in a hypocaloric state.
c)are you lifting for power??? form the looks of it I wouldn't guess so.

Thanks alot Atherjen. Makes me feel better My problem is even with one exercise if I don't see the weight or the reps go up even 1, then I feel it was a waste. Bad thinking I know, just rough on myself sometimes like every other person in the world! Thanks for the encouragement!!

Thanks P-funk! I can always count on you man! I'm not in a hypocaloric state yet however, that starts Feb 1 with Carb cycling. And I'm pretty nervous about it . I'm not lifting for power, but I gauge the effectiveness of what I'm doing by reps or weight increasing at least a little. When I don't see that I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.
