By the way, the best part about my screaming is that I work at 9and workout at because it is a free membership) at a really upscale gym where there is really no one training hard. LOL, you should see peoples faces when i am getting loud.

LMAO

Yeah, i think i mentioned this last summer, but the gym i was at in NY was weird... it was filled with all these scrawny people, and they all had trainers following them around everywhere.

I got a good price because they had a deal for uni students, but i guess it was a pretty upscale place. Thats the gym where i saw Britney Spears taking belly dancing lessons.

**P-funk** · 04-20-2004, 05:19 PM

what was the name of the gym?? you worked out in the village though right?? I don't work down there.

Monolith · 04-20-2004, 05:32 PM

World Gym Manhattan, i think. It was just below washington square park on Mercer st.

**P-funk** · 04-20-2004, 07:40 PM

oh yeah, I know where it is. I have never been there though. Nice place?

I am really anal about form and making sure everything is in full ROM. Most people don't like to train with me because I have no problem calling someone out. Come to NYC and see for yourself.

Bah.........I'm not afraid of you

**P-funk** · 04-20-2004, 07:56 PM

It is not a matter of being afraid of me. there is nothing to be afraid of. All I am saying is that I am really intense when I workout and you will probably hate me and think I am an asshole when it is all said and done. the workout itself isn't scary.

PreMier · 04-20-2004, 07:59 PM

Patricks lat spread is the only thing that scares me. It would be like a giant demon bat that is spitting and cussing while swooping overhead.

And you forget so soon that I follow the same principles?

Shame on you - we've discussed this before and wondered who would pass out first - you or I

LOL, and the list goes on........my poor clients.

**Jodi** · 04-20-2004, 08:17 PM

I wish I did have you hanging over me like that or someone would. It would be great.

Hell YES!

Ive never had a training partner who was more intense than i am (yeah, thats not saying much

). Having someone like P there would be friggin awesome, in a sadistic sort of way.

It's alright

Dumbell rack, a few machines, couple power racks. But you can tell the clientele they're marketing for - theyve got an entire section of the gym with padded floors for yoga and such, and one corner is just filled with various ab machines. Then theres the $200,000 worth of cardio equipment (the guy i was talking to when i signed up made a point of dropping that number).

It was way better than the Uni's gyms, which were packed and had suprisingly sparse amounts of equipment. They had a juice bar right next door, too... and for a few weeks there was this gorgeous girl who worked there. After a couple days i was gettin free post w/o shakes.

Monolith · 04-21-2004, 12:16 AM

Today's (typical) low carb day:

11:45am - morning supp stack
12:30pm - 1.5 cups brown rice, 6.3oz chicken, 3 T. salsa, 1/2 cap sesathin, apple
3:15pm - 1 scoop leptigen
3:45pm - 1.5 cups brown rice, 6.3oz chicken, 3 T. salsa, 4g fish oil, apple
4:30pm - Gym
5:45pm - 1.5 cups brown rice, 70g whey, 3 T. salsa, 1/2 cap sesathin, apple
6:30pm - 2.4g ALCAR, 300mg Alpha-GPC
8:15pm - 1 scoop leptigen
9:00pm - 2 cans tuna, 4 T. light safflower mayo
11:45pm - 6oz chicken, 2 cups broccoli, 1/2 cap sesathin
12:00pm - 1.2g ALCAR, 5g lecithin
1:30am - 1 scoop leptigen
2:15am - 60g whey, 5g fish oil

I <3 Leptigen. It's like getting a dessert 4 times a day.

But ahh... yeah. Nothing new to report, really. It's doing a decent job at staving off hunger, nothing too phenomenal, though. Most notably, around 1:15am i was getting hungry as hell, so i dropped the LG early. Hunger disappeared, but now, at 2:15, i find myself thinking of food again. Not as bad as i was at 1:30, but its still there.

Monolith · 04-21-2004, 12:16 PM

As others have opined, Sesathin looks like nutsauce. Yet i find myself gluttonously lapping the side of the bottle if even a drop is spilled. It feels uncomfortably homo-erotic...

**Jodi** · 04-21-2004, 12:33 PM

I use a measuring 1/4 teaspoon now. Too much of a hassle with the cap. Just started back today and said screw it. Its' obviously not the cause of my headaches.

Today's (typical) no carb day:

11:15am - morning supp stack
12:00pm - 1.8oz chicken, 50g whey, 1/2 cap sesathin (ran out of chicken)
2:15pm - 1 scoop leptigen
2:45pm - 2 cans tuna, 4 T. light saff mayo
5:45pm - 6.7oz chicken, 1/2 cap sesathin
7:45pm - 1 scoop leptigen
8:15pm - 7oz chicken, 4g fish oil
9:30pm - 2.4g alcar, 300mg alpha-gpc
10:45pm - 7oz chicken, 1/2 cap sesathin, 2 cups broccoli
12:45am - 1 scoop leptigen
1:30am - 60g whey, 5g fish oil

A couple gripes about the leptigen. It's still damn tasty, but these random clumps of shit in the tub are annoying. I recognize a few of the clumps as lecithin (yellow, somewhat sticky balls)... but theres another type consisting of a solid white powder, which breaks up easily in the hand (but almost impossibly if i just try to violently shake the whole tub).

And a question for TP if you see it, although its not that important: Is the lecithin just acting as an emulsifier, or is synergistic with the other "stuff" in rebirth?

Anyway, as for the thoughts for today: Still hungry. Dosing the rebirth seems to sate me for around 45 minutes, at which point im hungry again. Maybe i need to reread the rebirth writeup, but i was expecting to have hunger reduced.

Also, on an unrelated note, i just spent ~5 hours going back and forth between 3 different biochem and neuropharm books. So far i've diagnosed myself with schizophrenia, hyperprolactinaemia, and general hypochondriasis.

atherjen · 04-22-2004, 08:13 AM

gosh I would have been hungry!! did you only have taht 2cups of broccoli once??

Pepper · 04-22-2004, 08:13 AM

About how many calories are you shooting for each day?

High carbs are probably around 4500, Low's are around 2800, and No's are around 2100 i think.

Yeah, that about sums up my workout today. I guess the "uber energy" i had the last 2 days of the gym finally wore off. I dont know wtf happened, but i really wasnt feelin it. First set on the overhead presses felt like they weighed a shitload... i think my grip was a lot wider than normal.

Bleh, now i feel like a true glutton eating all this food on a high carb day after such a worthless hour at the gym.

P, how long till your motivational videos come out?

atherjen · 04-22-2004, 03:51 PM

I swear I have seen that same shoulder workout recently!!

and hey its not that bad!! dont be so hard on yourself like I am!

cant always have our best days in the gym - unless we are like Patrick-we've got alot to learn from him eh!

haha YES I remember the Broccoli Shake!

Monolith · 04-22-2004, 04:06 PM

lmao, yeah, its funny how you and i seem have such similar w/o's, isnt it?

Tomorrow will be better!
