Just some random notes/thoughts

- Booked my trip to today Mexico today. Leaving as soon as the semester finishes(my 6th and last semster of college) There's about 15-20 of my friends and family going but they all booked a couple weeks ago. Me, being myself, procrastinating and what not...now have to leave two days earlier than everyone and have to pay $100 more. Luckily i'm not going alone, it will be me and one of my buddies for those 2 days. Were sooo lucky, we ended up getting the last 2 seats on this other plane. It wouldnt have been the end of the world though b/c we had England/Las Vegas and various tropical islands to fall back on.

- It's been about a month now that I've gone without drinking. That is HUGE. I dont think I've ever gone this long in my life without some form of liks. I feel great and all, but I never reallly get to chill with my boy's anymore. Tomorrow, a bunch of us are all supposed to go downtown, play some poker, watch the dunk comp and then go to a club but I think I'll have to pass once again

- Debating on doing my first ever PH cycle. I mean, I can gain at a pretty good clip but all the injuries and set backs keep pushing back my progress big time. I swear I look the same now as I did 8 months into training. I really like the idea of being "natural" but I feel like my time is running out..even at the age of 22...wtf... Anyway, just awaiting my blood test before I make a final decision

- Fucking swamped at school lately, mid-term time. I'm vowing not to cheat at all this semester, so I've been studying like mad so far. I want to earn my marks for some odd reason. I've been setting my alarm to get up and study..hah

- Picked up some Vitamin E, C and a new multi today

- I'm getting da boot from where im living pretty soon, as it is on the market and should be sold very soon. I wouldnt give a shit except it's mid-semester and that throws a loop into it. Getting a place by myself is not an option. Dont know what im going to do, we'll see whats up

- I need a job placement for school quick time or I wont graduate..lol

- Speaking of which, this rant is done. I need to go apply for uni

Cold Iron

FUCK, I caved. Went out last night and had 6 beers, smoked and ate french fries + gravy. Atleast the beers were low carb beers. I feel sooo fucking fat today. If it wasn't for the random sex last night, I'd be REALLLY p*ssed. Oh wait there was none, AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

Notes
- I know I said I wasn't going to do traps for awhile, but I went realllly light
- My presses were crap due to a combination of killing my tri's yesterday and the fact I haven't done that exercise in ages
- I've been holding steady at 198 the past couple days. I thought I had stalled, weight loss wise, but I've actually been putting on LBM. Therefore, Im going to cut more calories...
- Ordered some T3 and Nolva last night
- So it's known, I use a complete ROM on every exercise

Diet
- Shake
- Egg sandwich + 2%milk + Fishies
- PWO shake
- Tuna + Apple + Salad + 2%milk
- Oragnic Pizza (wtf haha) + wings
- Half shake wit 1%milk + fishies
- 7 Doritos

PreMier

Nice workout. You eat a shit ton uf tuna man LOL

Why did you buy T3 AND nolva? Going to run a ph/ps?

Cold Iron

haha I fucking HATE tuna, as soon as i'm done cutting that shit aiint getting back into my house. Besides being a great food for shredding up, as you can probably tell by my meals, I'm a big fan of convenience. No time/desire/skill to cook anything.

As for the cycle, I dont know man. I've been debating whether to bust my cherry for awhile now. Like you, I gain quick when i'm actually in the gym but with all the set-backs, I feel as though I will never reach my ideal physique unless I speed up the process (ph). So im not sure .Still waiting for my doc to get back, to see my blood test results ( and make the appt. for the specialist)

As for the T3....I might try a real light dose without running ph's or I might wait till I start the cycle and run both...or I could even flip it to a buddy for a little profit
My workout partner wanted something to help him lose weight, so thats where it started and that coupled with finding a site that will actually ship research chems to canada led me to the impulse buying

Is there any serious health risks to running T3 if you are overweight? I assume there is, do you know of any specifics?

PreMier

There is always the risk, that it could butrn up your thyroid.. but if your severely overweight, you might have a problem with it anyway. Im kinda sketchy on those research chems.. be careful. If I were you, I would have bought Rx Cytomel. Also, be sure to look into PCT for your thyroid, if you use it

Hey man, it looks like you're having some pretty good workouts. I like your workouts too. They're usually nothing fancy, just the good ol' fashioned basic compound exercises that we all know and love. Keep it up.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Don't have to worry about it now; got an email back saying it can't be processed and I got my CC credited. No one delivers to Canada

Cold Iron

Ya, I've been keeping it simple lately. Lifts are getting better, to no coincidence my elbow is too. I'm going close to 90% on everything except Back + Bi....and tri to a smaller extent. So the weights should be increasing nicely now that im in the gym consistently, although I am presently cutting.

Off Day - slipped in some cardio though

16m HIIT 1m:1m -- 4mph:9mph

Diet
- Shake(oats)
- Egg sandwich + 1%milk + fishies
- Tuna + apple + salad + 1%milk
- Shake
- 12" MG grilled chicken


Notes
- Like I said above, order got cancelled. So no T3 or nolva
- Going out tonight, will try not to drink or smoke
- Cardio killled me, im still in the process of getting back into shape since I quit smoking...getting better though

Cold Iron

Did pretty good last night. Final result = 1 mixed drink + 1 beer + 1 smoke. I was doing awesome until next thing I knew, out of nowhere, I had two of my ex girlfriends standing beside me, one on each side. Ordinarily this wouldn't bother me, but one was a life long love, who I have been on-off with for about four years in total and it was the first time I saw her since we last broke up. The other girl, I hadn't seen in over 3 years....it was fucking weird. So she starts saying shit like I'm an asshole, I broke her heart So yeah, my two longest relationships staring me in each eye; they're all buzzed and i'm dead sober, awkward to say the least. Anyway, fun stuff ..but tis the reason I drank when I said I wouldn't.

10m Elliptical

Notes
- Obviously still going light on curls
- That elliptical machine is killer
- Miraculously I think I am better shape now than I was in the beginning of the IM comp. This is unbelievable b/c I think I've only had 5 weeks worth of working out since it commenced and have had to deal with about a 2 month layoff and getting rid of 15lbs of fat gain since the pictures I took. I honestly can't believe it myself...and this is without the use of any anabolic or thermogenic. It obvious my LBM is down but I think I've still done a helluva job on my 1st ever cut though the pictures will do the real talking

Diet
- Shake
- PWO shake
- 3 Egg sandwich + 1%milk + fishies

20HIIT 1m 4.0 : 1m 8.0

Various ab b.s

Notes
- I seriously hate working abs, least fav bp. My abs are gentically shit. They are soo tiny and weak my whole body trembles when I do them. I guess thats the good ole CNS, telling me I am a puss
- Reallllly didn't fell like going to gym but was glad I did when it was all said and done
- Today was such a useless, un-productive write off though

Diet
- Shake
- PWO shake 2 hrs after cardio
- Cheese + grapes + crackers (some litle school platter)
- WW pasta with meat sauce + fishies

Lying leg curl

Sled calf raises
360*3*10 (0-3-X)

Notes
- Funny story on incline press. My partner, who is new to lifting, got pinned on the leg press on his 3rd set it was especially funny b/c he gets soo embarrassed. I tried un-successfully to push the sled up for him, so then I proceeded to whip the weight off each side, as fast as I could. This mishap ruined my w/o though b/c I strained my achilles trying to push the sled back up for him It wouldve been funnier if I just left him pinned
- Squats felt nice, form is coming back
- For the Lying leg curl and calf work I used a tempo scheme. The first number is the eccentric part of the lift, 2nd is the pause and third is the concentric part. x means as explosively possible

Diet
- Shake
- 3 eggs + 1%milk + 5 fishies
- PWO shake
- Roast + mashed potatoes + veggies + gravy
- tea

Damn, I got pinned once.. I freaked out though, and pushed it back up because no one was around. Definately not fun lol

Cold Iron

He probably should have gotten it back up but he hurt his ankle yesterday, so im sure that played a factor.

I've never gotten pinned on anything except bench...which has happened several times

Cold Iron

Damn I feel like fucking shit. I havent ate anything since the roast and have actually been sleeping up in my room for the last couple of hrs. I think it was the shrimp ring I ate yesterday. I thought I was going to hurl for sure a couple hrs ago. Going to try and take down a shake right now.

Oh and I cant wait to bulk again. I look so flat and scranwy right now.... plus I'm always starving. cutting is overrated.lol

PreMier

Do you keep track of your macros?

Cold Iron

I have a good idea but I dont "count" them, why?

PreMier

I was just inquiring. Why don't you count them, don't you think it would be more to your benefit if you did? Especially during a cut?
