Im not going to friggin argue and try to explain myself over and over here. This is Monstars journal simply that. I gave my opinion-its more that just the journals-the journal is simply the icing on the cake. I think Monstar knows where I am coming from, and that all that matters.

du: I personally agree with you bud, but again everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I know where she is coming from with the # of journals I have had here at IM, and the # of times I said it was going to be my last journal, etc. But at the same time I know how I am and what I am in and out of control of. Everytime I decide to binge and start a new journal I am in complete control. It's usually just a lack of willpower, more than anything else.
BTW, I completely agree that everyone has a mild form of OCD. Or at least OCD tendencies. Cold Iron: LOL, I can't believe you counted the # of journals I have, you crack me up bro. I definitely recommend seated GM's bro, they're absolutely phenomenal at hitting your lower back especially. They do hit your hamstrings as well, but honestly I feel it distinctly in my lower back. Whereas with regular GM's I feel it in both my hamstrings and lower back. Jill: I do know where you're coming from Jill, I know exactly where you're coming from. And there is no need to argue. ![]() |

BigDyl: Haha, yeah 630 on hack squats. I used my hands to kind of spot myself on my knees in case I didn't get it I coud just push the weight up with my hands. I am trying to get my leg strength back up to what it used to be. Lately its been really going downhill because I haven't done my quads in so long.

fUnc: Thanks for the support, bud. I really like cable crunches too, I think they're great at hitting my abs. I try and constantly change my ab exercises up but it gets hard to do because there are only so many exercises that I do for them. For some reason right now too, I have been getting EXTREMELY sore from my workouts. I don't know if I am just getting used to the intensity again, or what. But I haven't been this sore in a long time. I am doing shoulders tomorrow or arms, I can't decide yet.

I hate to say it.... but Jill's right. This was a post you made to me last September when I suspected you of obsessive complusive behavior Mike. I agree though, we ALL exhibit some traits of ocd. But 100 new journals (a guess) in a couple of years ain't normal man. Don't get me wrong. I love ya man, but I suspect this translates into bigger problems in your life. I hope I'm wrong.
"JerseyDevil: Hey man, trust me, I know that I have OCD for some time now. That's nothing new at all. I am completely obsessive compulsive with a lot of things in my life. It's ridiculous. I have seen a therapist before which helped somewhat. But it all boiled down to me being in control of my own actions. Nothing anyone else said made that much of a difference. Dropped SF's program, dropped P/RR/S. Didn't give either a shot at all. It's f*cking ridiculous. I know." |

Hey Mike,
Just ran across this new journal and have been catching up. On the OCD topic... just wanted to share that I can relate, I am probably one of the glitchiest fuckers on the face of the earth, just ask my husband... um, on second thoughts don't! lol I believe I probably have some OCD tendencies, I do many things which could be considered fucked up by others and quite often are, bottom line, I don't give a toss any more what people think and what the hell is 'normal' anyway?! I used to feel like I had to explain the rational behind some of the things I do, like emptying the garbage can in the bathroom as soon as it has one piece of garbage in it... do people not realize it's not 'meant' to actually have garbage put in it?! Anyway I've moved past worrying about it now and I'm okay with the all my little quirks, I'm aware of them and they are a source of amusement to me to tell ya the truth, so whether or not this is the last journal or your last journal of the day it doesn't matter... good luck with all your training pursuits as always. |

JerseyDevil: Hey man, thanks for stopping by. I agree that everyone has a little bit of OCD in themselves, however, I question whether or not it affects everything else in their life. The repeated cycle that I always put myself through is simply starting a training program or diet, and then thinking to myself "hey I don't think this program is all that great, let me start something new." So that night I would pig out and binge on junkfood since I was starting something new the next day. Now this cycle though it maybe unhealthy, doesn't seem negatively affect anything else in my life except maybe bodyfat %.
du: Even though I agree with you, I also think that everyone is here to help. I think people here at IM sense that there is a problem and then in try and offer support/advice. Jake: Agreed. Kerry: Thanks so much for the supportive post, I really appreciate it. I agree that people too often get caught up in such stupid things. When I used to post back at other sites creating new journals may have been purely amusing or just giving me an excuse to binge, etc. What difference does it make? I mean its only affecting me. To everyone else you they would see another line of text on a computer screen, who cares? I can't figure out how some people get so annoyed/agitated over something like this. I don't pay much attention to things like that I guess. ![]() Luke: Think so? How many calories a day do you think I should be aiming for? Last edited by M.J.H. : 03-09-2005 at 10:44 AM. |

Luke: Wow, that's one hell of a difference! I am going to really consider upping my calories a bit in the future. I am going to shoot for around 4K a day on training days. Maybe a bit less on non-training days.

Now shut up or I'll count up the ones from WBB and elite too I was thinking about the seated Gm's and they sound kinda dangerous. I'll give them a whirl though this week, just for kicks and see how they go. |

Cold Iron: LOL, I know I have about a billion journals over at WBB. Not many at Elite, though, I don't think. Seated GM's are great man, and they're not anymore dangerous than standing GM's---as long as you have a spotter.

APG: Hey bud, don't worry about being off-topic. I did a cycle of M1T in the past, and for my PCT I used 6-OXO. I do not recommend 6-OXO at all for coming off of M1T, M1T is far too strong. I would go with nolva, instead, for your PCT.

APG: I wouldn't bother with the 6-OXO personally, but that's just me. I don't think the 6-OXO is nearly strong enough to serve as PCT for M1T. I think you should start off with a high-dosage of nolva, maybe 60mg a day maybe for 10 days, and then the next 10 days do 40mg a day, and finally the final 10 days finish with 20mg a day. That's how I have used it and its worked great at killing my gyno.
