Enjoying the log brother

-jwgibbons

I'm trying my best to give you guys all the details so who ever looks at the log can correct me or give me advice if I'm doing something wrong. Believe me, I am not above taking anyones advice as long as it is sound or makes sense. Im not going to take someone advice if they tell to shove two dildos up my ass while squating because you will get a better burn out on your legs. Well...maybe...if you get a better burn? Anyway, maybe in the end when this is all said and done it can help someone else by seeing this info.

UPDATE: taped and weighed myself this morning...no changes what so ever. I'm not mad though. I realize miracles don't happen overnight. My first week is under my belt. It's Monday and it's time to press on. Got legs today! I will write out my log tonight.

^Thats funny you say that. My wife is so use to the routine she sums it up like this "you are an asshole for two weeks and then you are fine". So yeah, when I get adjusted I'm g2g.

Eh my girl calls me an ass all the time haha. I'm used to it by now.

5:30am 30 mins cardio on elliptical
7:00am 8 hard boiled eggs(no yolks) with one cup of coffee
9:00am 46 gram protein shake with one banana and two teaspoons peanut butter
10:00am WORKOUT (LEGS)
-3 sets of barbell squats with one warmup set wu/135 1/225 2/275 3/315
-3 sets of stiff legged deadlifts 1/135 2/185 3/225
-3 sets of leg curls 1/70 2/80 3/90

(Good news is, on all exercises the reps went up 2-4 reps)
11:30am 12 ounce chicken breast with one cup of salad with oil and vinegar
2:00pm 42 gram eas to go shake(20 grams of carbs)
4:00pm 42 gram protein shake(no carbs)
6:00pm 16 ounce catfish fillet(flavored with lemon pepper) and a bowl of saut?ed spinach with mushrooms
At 9:00pm I will have a 42 gram protein shake(no carbs)

Well, I finally did it! I got to two gallons of water down! I really didn't think it would be that big of a challenge, but you almost have to have your water source glued to your hand. I'm not sure if I will always get 2 gallons of water down, but I will definetly try. I'm glad I'm starting to get a little stronger. Even though the body has not changed at all it's nice to see progress somewhere. So my last two pins have have left black and blue spots(quad and tricep). Glad I'm lifting at home now. It might be hard to explain at the gym with a tiny black and blue spot on my tricep wearing a sleeveless shirt. I'm going to try for a bicep injection tomorrow. I have not done one of those in many many years. Last but certainly not least...I realize this is not a super high traffic area and my transformation was not publicized like the one going on over in the WP forum and I'm not a woman(this thread would probably be 10 pages long asking to see my boobs), but I want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to the SF reps for always replying and "cheering"me on. Thank you guys.

Forgot to mention that I did cardio at 5:00pm yesterday also. Damn two gallons of water. I pissed at midnight 2:00am and 5:00am. I might have to change up my lifting schedule also. May go to the 5/3/1 Wendler program. Have done it in the past with good success. We will see after this week.

I'm a little over two gallons a day, I feel your pain. I was up at least 4 times last night to piss. Been up since 7ish and have pissed at least 6 times lol. I dropped damn near 7 pounds in water over night.

7 pounds is crazy! I remember when I wrestled in high school, I dropped 7 pounds in a two hour practice. I felt like shit afterward but made weight the next day.

The bicep injection did not go that bad. I realize the oil has the dissipate in that small area so it's a little tight. Sorry if this log is getting repeative but I'm just trying to keep it simple and keep on schedule. It's only Tuesday and I can't wait for my high carb cheat meal!

Still killing it I see. Dieting gets easier IMO. You get used to the process and it becomes habbit. Then you won't be as tired all the time!

The EAS lab protein shake from the bag, I use the same stuff.. great bang for the buck.. I pay 16 Euros... please keep this log going my brother!

 

[the_predator]

Well, today was the day for the left side of my body. One injection in the quad, one injection in the bicep. I forgot to heat the oil again because I was in such a rush but things still turned out just fine. I think the reason for the black and blues before were because I was just pushing so hard on the plunger. I have eased up a bit. I had a crazy looking farmers tan thanks to the oil dissipating down my right bicep from Tuesday's inject yesterday. It seems cleared up today. I'm sure today's inject will do the same to the left arm, but it's all good. I will post my log later tonight.

 

[exerciseordie]

Sounds good man. Keep it coming!

Had about a galllon and a half of water today. Wasn't a regimented as usual with diet and protein intake because I spent the day with my wife while my little girl was in school. Didn't do cardio in the afternoon, but because of not doing it I found out I'm developing "deca dick" (wife and I had some alone time). I'm not having problems getting it up, it's just not as hard as usual. My wife noticed right away. Anyway, my inject sites are ok today. My left bicep shot went better then my right bicep, but my right quad inject went better then my left quad inject...I know, go figure?

 

[the_predator]

Well, going to try a calf injection this morning, haven't done one in many years. I will let you know how it goes/feels in my log later this evening.

 

[the_predator]

Holy shit...ok two strikes and out for me. NO MORE CALF SHOTS, EVER ! My daughter asked me why am I limping? I had to tell her I pulled a muscle. Damn I hope I'm g2g for Monday...

Had a birthday party this afternoon, so that is why there is such a massive gap in between eating at 2:30 then 6:00. I forgot to take a shake with me and they had nothing but junk food there. I had a gallon and two cups of water today. My damn calf is killing me right now. I have a heating pad on it but I'm afraid it's way past that. No more calf shots...EVER

 

[Gibbz]

You just saved me from ever trying calf injections lol. Keep up the good work

This is going to sound dumb but I pin glutes and shoulders. Hit a nerve in my leg one time and it swelled and bruised bad so I can't work up the courage to try again lol.

^So far, I got bruises on my right quad and left tricep. I'm hoping this calf don't bruise. My smart ass wife asked me if I needed a pair of crutches. Definetly no plans for tomorrow!
