Thread: To be the Best...My off season Log

Today's workout was rough. Haven't done deadlifts in a while, but after today i'll be sure to do them regularly. Didn't throw in any extra lower back exercises, because it felt pretty strained after deadlift and good mornings.

Not really as much as I was doing, but I for sure wanted to take it a little easy on my first day back to this lift. I'm glad I did now. My lower back is sore as hell today. Today's chest and biceps. Looking forward to it.

Weighing in at 124 now..finally starting to put back on that weight I lost due to that stomach ulcer. Didn't bench today, because they were both taken up and I didn't really feel like waiting for these guys to finish up.

Yesterday was an off day. My lower back has finally completely recovered from deadlift day Looking forward to some serious squats today! Decided against ordering any Tribulus and am instead dropping the money on a much needed tub of protein.

I've got a serious breakfast problem here lately. All my meals in the day are great. I'm eating clean and a lot of clean. My protein intake is at an all time high, but my breakfast is really laking. That first meal of the day just makes me wanna be sick. I tried eggs again this morning and noticed I was concentrating more on holding back vomit than eating. I stomached the majority of them and managed to down a bagel. Any theory as to why my first meal of the day is so hard to get down?

I had a hard time with this for a while too. Best thing I found was eat an english muffin or 2 SMEARED in peanut butter, along with a protein shake to wash it down.

It's Saturday so I woke up late (no worries about breakfast). I'll be sure to try that muffin trick though. Weighed in yesterday at 127 - not bad. I'm finally starting to get the protein intake I need and i'm finding it to be the best supplement out there. Anyways didn't get a chance to post yesterday's workout so here it is:
