TP's House of Mirrors

Twin Peak · 05-18-2006, 12:01 PM

So I thought I'd start this journal so I could talk about Designer Supplements and all of our products and pimp the shit out them (just kidding Rob!)

Seriously though, I noticed all of my old friends posting, and rather then hijack other journals (sorry Tam), I figured I'd start this and a bantar thread. I will use it as a journal in a certain sense, as I will track training and diet and progress, but I will more us it to vent, bitch, whine and generally complain. Everyone else can feel free to do the same. Unless I don't like you -- then stay the fuck out.

It has been a long time since I have journalled on IM, so a brief recap.

I tore my rotator cuff badly 2 1/2 years ago. I have struggled with consistence in my training and diet since. I got serious again about 2 months ago and am working on getting my size and strength back, and losing the extra fat.

So far I have gained back a nice amount of muscle, and have dropped about 10 pounds and 2 inches on the big ole gut. Still have quite a ways to go.

Diet: Meh. Its a modified recomp diet right now that included low carbs, high protein, and hi-ish fats, designed because I am using X-Factor right now.

Training: Modified HIT, High intensity, low frequency, 1 BP per workout.

Supplementation. Trying X-Factor for this first time. I was pretty excited to try this. Its been 2 1/2 weeks (total 50 day cycle) and I haven't noticed much yet. Other supplements include plenty of protein (various types), low dose Melting Point, VIGOR, GXR, and Basic Cuts as necessary.

Let the games begin!

So only 60 more lbs left to drop. In all seriousness...Weren't you in a weight loss competition last year? How did that pan out? Oh wait, I remember, I won that shit hands down.

**Jodi** · 05-18-2006, 12:11 PM

So are you still a fatty?

**IainDaniel** · 05-18-2006, 12:12 PM

Cool beans. Glad to see you back

Twin Peak · 05-18-2006, 12:22 PM

Ouch. Where's the love?

Thanks Iain.

Dale show up at the Europa or Olympia, and we'll see who looks better.

Jodi, yes.

Why would I want to compete in an overblown beauty pageant?

I have been to the Best Western Europa in Montreal, good times.

I may not. I am thin skinned. Thankfully the blubber protects me.

Fitgirl70 · 05-18-2006, 01:02 PM

Cool...you can hook me up with goodies!!!

**P-funk** · 05-18-2006, 01:18 PM

how is the ROM in your shoulder? How did the re-hab turn out?

Twin Peak · 05-18-2006, 01:39 PM

Very good. I am sure ROM is slightly limited, but its not noticeable by me.

nikegurl · 05-18-2006, 02:17 PM

love your signature.

Twin Peak · 05-18-2006, 02:18 PM

Why thank you!

Congrats!!!

Glad your back! Gives me even more motivation to hang around IM again.

Twin Peak · 05-18-2006, 02:43 PM

Psychic?

This is it though, we are done.

butterfly · 05-18-2006, 03:29 PM

Any preference for another boy or a girl? I tell ya, after 3 boys (including John) I was sooooooooooooooooooo happy to get my little girl!!!

Also, the girl clothes are much cuter then the boy stuff

**IainDaniel** · 05-18-2006, 03:31 PM

Boys are the way to go

much less worries. Wife has one in the oven as well, not only would the hand me downs be great. But those teenage years assuming we had a girl scare the living hell out of me

Fitgirl70 · 05-18-2006, 03:32 PM

I want a baby

Agreed. Its a third boy for us. We were hoping for a girl, but its definitely easier this way. And no, Ann, there will be no fourth!

nikegurl · 05-18-2006, 03:43 PM

oh wow...CONGRATULATIONS on the newbie.

(you too Iain

)

it's like a mini-reunion in here. (hi, Ann

)
