got pics? :eyebrow:

Oh, forgot to mention... i had a cup of that carb countdown chocolate milk with my first meal this AM. Holy christ, that stuff is GOOD! I think its the closest thing to a mouth orgasm ive ever felt. Half the fat, a tenth of the carbs, twice the protein, and its still thick, creamy, and delicious. Im thinking i shouldnt have bought it now, though... because i cant have any more, and its just sitting there in my fridge now.

I just tried it as well for the first time this weekend... MMMM MMMMM yumm!!!!!! :lick: Now I just wish they sold it here in Canada. :grumble:
 
Dammit, even Whole Foods didnt have any of that zero calorie syrup. WTF! :mad:

And trust me, Jen, if you want to keep that milk down... you don't want to see my pics. :rofl:
 
Post the pics!
 
The day you get back in the gym i'll post pics. i.e., never :lol:
 
Dammit. It cant be that bad. I mean, its CALORIE FREE! And it attempts to taste like chocolate! If its watery that means i can just drink it instead of water. I mean, this could be a diet revolution for me. :D

I just need to find some...
 
I just tried the Walden Farms supposedly calorie free chocolate dip today. It initially tastes good, but then leaves a funny aftertaste. Lol, if you want watery flavoring, try DaVinci's s/f syrups. All sorts of flavors. Not too bad. I used to add a bit to my protein shakes for some flavor, before I found BSL flavor packets.

LOL, that reminds me of some post of a colon cleanse/fast diet or whatever the hell someone posted. It consisted of an occassionally apple and water mixed with maple syrup... :laugh:
 
Ewww. My colon gets cleansed pretty well after every high carb day. :/

Blarg. RI's were really long for quads, around 240s. My legs are so damn pitiful. I just wanted to see what my squat max was, and obviously its not much. After i failed at 260, even 225 felt heavy as shit... i had planned to get a few reps with it at least. Leg press felt good, wasnt expecting the reps to be so high... but it was probably because i was just doing singles on the squats.

Grip is about the only thing im happy about... its going up consistently every time i work it.

Hey Mono.. What do you think of Par's decision to stop M&M?

Also have you read his "good life" thread?
 
Nice squats btw. You will get there, keep at it.

I think its bullshit. He's either kidding, or just being really fucking emo.

If M&M was gone, Avant would turn into just another fitness board with a "science" forum. I'd argue that M&M is what has made Avant so successful, not their products. The products success is a result of M&M's success.

I mean, to a newbie or a lurker, when you first come upon that magazine, you get this feeling of accomplishment -- its like 'fuck man, finally. a community instead of a commodity.'

I know Avant has been taking some heat for the latest issue, and i say its all fucking warranted. The articles were all dumbed down. Even Loki's article seemed stupified to some extent. What made the old Mind and Muscle so fucking fantastic was that even if you had no goddamn idea what was being said, it drove you to try to understand it. The passion the authors had reverberated through the article, and lit a fire under the readers ass to try and become a more intelligent consumer. It makes the reader want to elevate themselves to that higher level when they see how exciting it is for those who do understand the material.

With the latest issue, youve got a couple articles that are really just garbage, another that would have been better off as a thread, and maybe one good candidate for the magazine. I think the problem the Avant guys are wrestling with is overexposure. They began as the underdogs, and theyve become the topdogs. A decision needs to be made on their future - are they going to "sell out" and turn into a t-mag? Or are they going to tell all these newbies to fuck off, kick out board members who dont contribute shit, and keep their company and their community as a small but extremely knowledgable and trusted source of information? Right now, there is no direction... the community is wafting around being pulled in whichever way the majority takes it. That approach is the worst of all, since you alienate both the nerds and the newbs.

Par says he's having trouble dealing with lifes purpose... and i have to say, thats probably the stupidest thing ive ever heard him say. I'll probably end up regretting this, but i say to that -- Fuck off, you incoherent shit-for-brains. 99.9% of the people on this planet will realize at one point in their lives that theyre going to die... and theyll wrestle with thoughts of "whats the point? if im a king or a peasent ill still be dead in 80 years." In one post i think he said something to the effect of "why chase intellectual highs when i can achieve chemical highs so much easier?" The mere fact that someone has to ask that question and doesnt just act on it should be obvious enough. The difference is giving in to your bodys primordial bullshit or having the mental perseverence to ignore it, and live your life as you see fit. Perhaps ignorance is bliss, but before that first rock of crack enters your brain, your last thought is going to be how life managed to beat you, but not the other 6 billion people on the planet.

Well shit, that turned into quite a fucking psychopathic rant. Good thing i dont post on avant. :D
 
that, dear mono, was freaking awesome (your post) :thumb:
 
Nice little Rant Mono :)

It was a joke BTW, at least the mag being scrapped was

RI's were ~120s. Strength is down a bit. Was gonna keep the reps higher, but after that first set, i knew i wasnt gonna be doing much good in that rep range. I suppose ill try to keep reps lower throughout PCT.

Uni calf raises are hard as shit, i cant believe how much harder they are than bilateral raises. I can do like 250lbs with 2 legs... and can barely rep with 45lbs with 1 leg. :shrug:

Wrist curls are done with a BB. Pick up the BB with two hands behind your body. Hold the BB with the tips of your fingers. Then pull the bar up with your fingers, continuing to pull by contracting your forearm and bending your wrist, bringing the bar as high as possible. Then let the bar back down to your fingers and repeat.

There's a couple different variations on them, too. i.e. you can kneel in front of a bench, placing the top of your wrists against the top of the pad with your hands hanging over the opposite side of the bench. Hold a BB in that position, and curl the bar towards you. Then you can do curls in the opposite direction, working the "top" of your forearm (sorry, i dont know the name of the muscle :D ).

I suppose you could do them with a DB too... although ive never tried. But really, as long as you can feel a good contraction in your forearm, its all good.

Hey screw you! If anything its PMS... im post cycle, remember? :rofl:
 
enjoyable avant rant. Post there, it'll be fun :grin: I haven't enjoyed the board so much since Dante stopped posting. also I enjoyed the sniping that went on ... it's got a bit tame of late. Serious. however, as one of those members who contributes v little to the board, I should shut the fuck up.
oh, and a propos of nothing, I WANT A CIGARETTE AND I WANT TO WORK OUT!

But tell us how you really feel Mono. It's not good to keep it bottled up inside. :evil:
 
lmao, nah, no more ranting. ;)

Anyway, i forgot to mention that i bumped up my atomoxetine to 120mg/ed a few days ago. I swear i remember reading in the clinical studies that it didnt do shit for ADD above 100mg, but i figured what the hell. But... i think im just gonna come off it completely now. It hasnt helped the ADD at all, and the side effects are incredibly pronounced at this dose. Im getting prostate problems, achy joints (although that could just be the tamoxifen), etc.

I got a script for adderall. Shrink tried to get me on the extended release stuff, but i said fuck that. I dont even want to take this shit more than once or twice a week. He thinks i should be dosing it 2x daily for months, though. Yeah, great thinking doc, get me hooked on speed. :rolleyes:
 
For extra fun, snort it!
 
I plan on grinding half a bottle so i can take bumps during class. :rofl:

I was just poking fun at you Mono (an old people's term). In all honesty, in that 'rant', it became obvious to me what an intelligent, well spoken person you are. :thumb:
 
LOL, are you kidding? Normally people tell me to stfu and control my verbal diarrhea. :rofl:

I agree, I was thinking the same thing as I read it. Mono can write a damn good speech. Also, in the political/election thread he had some really nicely written posts. I think you have a talent for writing things like this. How is your public speaking?
