I did it... i finally squatted 3 plates. It was only for singles, but it felt pretty damn good. I had someone watch my form on a couple sets to make sure it looked alright and i was going at least parallel.

I think people at my gym are starting to think im juicing or something... cuz within a month ive gone from sets with 185 to singles with 315.

So, whatcha taking and where are you working? That is, if you don't mind me asking. I'm nosy.

6'5" 230 isnt big at all... it prolly looks big on paper, but i dont even look like i lift.

Actually i weighed myself yesterday and im up to 234. I really, really need to clean up my diet. I ate like half a birthday cake a couple days ago.

For my classes, im taking a bunch of science/math shit. Inorganic chem, A&P, Psych, Statistics, and Pharmacology. It's only 5 classes with 2 labs, but before all this i was a pure liberal arts major. Writing lots of papers was my thing. Then i got interested in supplements/biochemistry/pharmacology. Then i got really interested in supplements/biochemistry/pharmacology. So i decided to load up on those types of courses to see if i could handle a change of majors (ive always been fucking awful at math). It's going ok so far... im probably around a B average going into the midterms for most classes, might be pulling an A in a couple. It's kind of annoying me, though, because i want to learn this stuff - i want to get an A in all of it - but i dont have the time to spend studying and memorizing everything.

As for my job, dont get me wrong... its really nothing sternuous. Its maybe 15-20 hours a week as a courier for a few lawyers. Basically lots of driving around and standing in line.

On top of that, though, im trying to spend some time reading up on crazy meds and their pharmacological actions so as to better convince my shrink to prescribe me the good stuff. He's been suprisingly open to my ideas, and has actually gone along with some of them. In fact i was supposed to fax him a few journal articles on some novel drugs i wanted to try but havent gotten around to it.

Then of course there's my social life. Which is, of course, nonexistent at this point.

Ugh. Today sucked. Every joint in my left arm has tendonitis. Elbow, wrist, and rotator cuff. I'm gonna take the next 5 days off completely. I was gonna still do lower body, but my knees were bothering me the night after those singles with 315 (though they feel fine now). I think the high weight low rep training has taken its toll.

Well good luck with classes. I had the biggest probs with calculus and inorganic chem in college. Oddly enough though, my best science grade came in organic chem with lab.
As for me, I guess I'm on a quarter system. I have 7 hour test on Tuesday, Vegas, and then finals. After that, I have to work on law school applications for fall, including a new personal statement and getting all my letters of reccomendation and transcripts in order. I also have to look for new car insurance and find a job/internship. Blah.

Monolith

Yeah, im actually sort of looking forward to organic chem. Inorganic is just boring crap (although making drugs is pretty cool).

Good luck with your finals. Where are you applying to law school? I'm still being pushed in that direction. :/

As for an internship... i cant believe you havent bugged TP for one. Those inappropriate requests are the kind of ethics you need if you expect to make it as a lawyer.

Update time.

I'm gonna try to hit the gym for some leg work tomorrow evening. I was gonna take a couple more days off, but im going stir-crazy.

I got myself a script for pramipexole, a DA agonist. Probably not gonna start it untill this weekend, cuz the last thing i need is iatrogenic narcolepsy during a midterm.

Also got some extended release adderall. The instant release stuff is nice, but the ups and down are a PITA. It worked pretty well today. Good mood, motivation, etc.

Diet has been crap. I need to find me some DNP.

So, i started the pram early. It activates the DA receptors similar to bromo, but its a non-ergot alkaloid. Side effects are much less than with bromo.

Started with 250mcg this morning. Felt good all day... and suprisingly, its already having some potent hunger blunting effects. I'm normally hungery every 2.5 hours... if i had a big meal, its a little longer, but usually my satiety doesnt last past 3.5 hours. Today, on just 250mcg of pram, i went 5.5 hours without feeling hungry at all. I was stuck in class, or otherwise i would have thrown a shake down. By the time i finally got home and got a meal in me, it was 6 hours... and i didnt feel hungry at all. Some very slight nausea... but nothing truly bothersome. I'm really impressed so far.

Hunger is still blunted quite well. I only had a small sandwich about 3 hours ago, and im just barely starting to feel hungry. Normally id eat something that small and be gnawing my fingers off after 2 hours. It'll be interesting to see how 500mcg works.

I'm finally headin back into the gym tomorrow.

update?

Thanks for the good luck. I'm applying to my undergrad's law school (UC Davis) and another local school (McGeorge School of Law, which is a part of the University of the Pacific). I don't really want to go out of state and I'm through with that SoCal shit. My previous law school was a bunch of crap. I'm also trying to stay local because my grandfather has Alzheimer's and my grandma has rapidly deteriorated. She has full blown dementia now. My uncle....ah he's a whole separate issue...lots of shit with him. Soooo, I want to do the best I can to help my dad deal with all this.

As for asking TP, he's in NY. I doubt that he could help this NorCal chick.

How's school going?

Damn Mono, way to go man. You've moved up big time in weight. Watch that arm though. I know all about elbow pain .
