GNC has really good sales if you're a Gold Card member the first week of the month, so I usually get a couple 6lbs tubs of protein then. It's something like 30% off and then 50% off the 2nd one I think.

Judging from the "beginning of the month" part, I'm guessing GNC?

Congrats on making it to summer, Sean. Please don't tell us about your 11 hour sleep sessions for the next 3 months, k?

Hahaha I'll make sure to rub in the long sleeping sessions just for you Pylon.

I'm starting to think more about working out fairly late at night... Is it going to matter if I only get like 1 meal in after I workout before I go to bed at that point, or should the days meals be fine for recovery during rest? I'm also wondering if working out a couple hours before I go to bed would speed up my metabolism any while I'm sleeping, or if that's more of a myth/misconception?

Yeah, in general I don't sleep quite that much. However, when I'm feeling really lazy and I have nothing to do I've slept for a good 12 hours a few times before. Generally, I feel much better when I get up as well as throughout the day when I get around 7-8 hours of sleep. If I get more than that, I usually feel groggy when I get up, and tired the rest of the day.

I wouldn't think the meal thing would be an issue, as long as you make sure you have some quick protien (like whey) and some slow stuff (cottage cheese?) in there, just so it doesn't all get burned up and you have something to hold you thru the night.

hey pylon, guess what.............................

MY SUMMER STARTS NEXT WEEK WHICH MEANS I WILL BE GETTING 11-12 HOURS OF SLEEP!

and sean is right, you dont want to sleep for a long time. You feel more tired and cramped after a long sleep and just feel like going back to bed even though it's 12 in the afternoon. When i get 7 hours of sleep, i feel much better after "waking" up for the 1st hour or so. It's the quality of sleep that counts, not quantity.

Shock: Legs

Ok, well today's workout more or less sucked for the most part. I was a few hours later getting to the gym than normal, and the place was packed. I had to wait for a lot of the equipment I wanted to use, and people for the most part were constantly ready to use things when I was done, or using it.

As a result, some of my supersets weren't quite super sets b/c I had to wait a minute or two for some of the equipment...

Also, the joint that connects the femur bone to your hip bone/pelvis feels a little weird on my right side now.... It was worse earlier, after squats and lunges, and it feels better now, but it's still somewhat painful/discomfortable.
I'm not really sure what it's from. I have changed from narrow stance squating to wider, but I did the a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if I just didn't warm up enough or if my body mechanics just don't like wider stance squating.

Even though it was kind crappy, my legs did have that elastic/rubber band feeling when I was walking out of the gym, so I guess that's somewhat of a good thing.

Also, the workout was not done in the order listed. I did the super set of calfs before the SLDL/Curls, then I did single leg leg curls, then the dropset of calfs....

Also, I have a question/comment on the SLDL: If I keep my back straight/ arched, I cannot touch the weight to the ground, but I still feel a nice burn in my hammies/glutes. I have pretty long legs, so I'm thinking my body mechanics may keep me from touching the weight to the ground on SLDL. the only way I can touch it is to feel like I'm rounding my back/shoulders (whether I am or not I can't really tell b/c there's no mirrors). So, is it really a problem if I can't quite touch the weight to the ground on SLDL ?

sean, i feel ya on the shitty leg w/o tonight! it's over, we'll kick ass tomorrow.

u don't need to touch the ground on the SLDLs. everyone has diff. flexibility and you have to do these with that in mind. i have very tight hamstrings and i don't have to go as far as many to work them. don't sacrifice your form. instead focus on your hips and how far they shift back from the bar, then really think about pulling your hips back in as you raise up, keeping your back straight with good form. don't feel that you have to hit the ground on these, you can feel when your hitting the glutes/hams... theres no need to pull something. thats my .02 as they say around here.

ps, hope everything else is ok... saw you mentioned not so hot circumstances...

Maybe you'll kick ass tomorrow, but it's an off day for me . We're having some stuff for graduation going on (there is a pool party/cook out but I haven't decided if I'm going yet), and then my family and I are going out to dinner at Mitchell's Steakhouse in the evening .

Luckily i work out at night at the new gym im at (Bailey's Powerhouse) so there's practically no1 in there... no fine girls that ive seen yet though

Normally it's not much of I problem at all because I usually go around 2:30 or 3:00 and there aren't many people, but today I went around 5:00 which sucked. I have a feeling that since summer's here now I might be seeing a lot more people around 2:00-3:00 so I may need to scout out a better time.

I also need to find out if the nearby World Gym requires an activation fee b/c if it does, it's not worth it for 2 months... I'd really like to try it out though, I suppose I'll give them a call.

Arch - Lol, thanks for the support, but the w/o still sucked IMO . I'm mostly angry that my leg joint doesn't feel quite right... I'm sure it'll feel normal again soon, but it's still aggrevating. I'll try to keep the not touching the ground thing in mind on the deadlifts. for normal deads, it's not a problem, but for SLDL I just can't. I can't wait to do angle style deads again saturday .

yeah the activation fee is what kept me from the majority of the gyms i trialed.. Superfitness had the best deal .. 1 dollar activation 29.99 a month but u HAVE to be 18 to workout there, no waiver, no nothing,... but Baileys has a 3 month student summer thing for 120 so that was the best deal for me, used a lil grad money for that, and got a keycard(because they only stay from 7am to 8pm) but the gym stays from 430 to 11pm so i got my boiz to pay me to work out w/ me and we just all walk in at the same time

i have the same problem when it comes to supersets. I lift around 2-3:30 and no one is there, just a few people. When 4-4:30 comes, bam! it's packed like crazy. I usually avoid doing supersets if it's too crowdy. I have a question to ask though. How come almost all of your exercises are supersets/dropsets? Do you have a certain routine that does this only?

I'm doing P/RR/S (power, rep range, shock). I'm on my shock week right now, so I'm doing lots of supersets and dropsets and trying to do mostly different exercises from the power + rep range weeks.
