Great, looks like good meals Iain. I ate horribly all weekend, and southern food!!!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Ok here is yesterday's workout. And yes I am a fat fuck and weak as shit.
60 secs RI were alot harder then I expected. Doh! Why do I become so inconsisten with my training. I am like a fucking Yo-Yo

workout A
front squat 12,10,10,8
DB bench press 14,10,10,10
step up 12,10,10
bent over BB row 12,10,10,10
skull crushers 10,10,10

Notice no weights posted. When I am satisfied with what I am moving around, I will begin posting these again.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

A new baby Why didn't you tell me soon?

Congrats!!

Yeah, I would think about adding those things I mentioned to you to help combat the sides. Especially if you are playing hockey still. I have a high tolerance for pain and let me tell ya, when the sides hit, I would crawl in a corner like a little baby. It hurts like a motha fucker. Start the stuff now instead of waiting til the sides come. Trust me, you will be thankful. Oh and expect some water retention

Man I didn't tell you either.

Even some of my friends from when I was a kid said I forgot to tell them

So it is pretty bad the cramping eh? How long did it take to kick in?

I will look into some Potassium Magnesium and Taurine

Should I be low Carbing with this product? I thought that cause more cramping?

BTW I plan on keeping this stack for close to 2 months, am I nuts? LOL

Listen to Jodi, the pain and cramps WILL be bad. For me the lethargy and mood swings were bad as well.

C'mon, post the weights. If I post'em you can post'em!!! And what's this 4 set crap? Trying to one up me? LOL!!!

Don't low carb it for more than 1 day at a time or you will feel it

Cramps took a few weeks to kick in. So doesn't MP though too

No. Just not used to running.

Plus my legs were a little tender from my workout the day before.

I expected this.

Oh and don't worry when they kick in you will be the first I notify LOL

Alright one week in with this stack. Notice some increase in Temp feeling, also bloating (water retention) kicks in pretty good.

Other then that everything is honky dory.

Will try to be more regular with my journal.

I know Fish oil isn't really anything out of the ordinary, but dosing with MP seems to be beneficial

Things are going well. Ball Hockey last night, legs aren't as messed up as last week. Thank god that was a good 4 days recovery.

On a side note I have been having some back pains, in my lower back. Figured it was just my bad back, but I did nothing to aggrevate it. So we will see how this goes.

On the side. Literally just got back from my wifes ultrasound appointment. Was really cool, and we had an awesome technician. He was so thorough about what he is doing and fun. Anyway everything is going well. Baby looks healthy. The Sex of the baby will be a suprise.

Glad to hear things are going well and that the baby looks healthy!! Have you still been making your workouts?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

As opposed to tonsil hockey?

I am looking forward to reading this puppy, I loved sesathin and want to see some feedback on Melting Point. I don't think I would take it after the whole M1T cramping fiasco, but who knows.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Right now I play Ball Hockey once a week, indoors at an arena. So it is a shit load of running.

Yeah I am worried about the cramping as well. There has been a little bit of lethargy.

Alright so I picked up Ice Hockey on Sunday nights. Hat Trick should have been 4 goals in a 6-2 win. Don't know if this has anything to do with the supps. But my endurance was in the shitter, and quads were fatigued very easily.

Then Tonite, the back pumps began oh the joy beginning of week 4. I can deal with them right now. Ball Hockey tomorrow night should be interesting.

Well it seems that instance of a back pump was just that one instance.

Still no cramping, the only note is a decreased libido. This occured when I used Sesamin previously, wonder if MP has any impact?

Weight hasn't changed much. still hovering around 216lbs. However wife said she notices me getting leaner out of no where yesterday. This is because I walk around the house in boxers most of the time.

So starting week 5 Still at 8 caps MP, 2 sesamin, 6 fishoil, and now 6 Basic Cuts a day.

Oh and I just ate a shit load of pasta, tummy all bloated.

We got smoked in hockey last night short bench only three guys on the bench. Ball hockey tomorrow night.
