Due to the IF protocols, just 6-12 g BCAA for AM cardio.

Smooth here too, just a moderate increase in alertness, no jitters or anxiety.

Yeah PX is pretty awesome. Got a sample the other day. I think I'll break it open tomorrow.

Yesterday I was lazy as heck, 1988 cals 190 protein. Today has too has been quiet, but did get to mow and get in a relatively short ride with my 9 year old before the storms rolled in, about 16 minutes but much of that was against a strong wind with the storm coming in. I tell him to get dad a good cardio workout so he goes all that much harder, little does he know my main goal is to get him out and active!

Just into day 7 of this stuff and I noted Friday (day 5) that I am beginning to see veins pop out on my shin's which is hard to grasp because I have relatively hairy legs. Also noted yesterday that the brachial (?) artery on my left arm is starting to pop in the crook of my elbow. The right one is generally observable but the left on tends to hide.

On a side note, take 1 scoop Fruit Punch Modern BCAA and mix with one scoop of a certain 4/1/1 Lemon Flavored BCAA and about 18oz water allow to dissolve for a bit and then place in freezer to you get a partial freeze, at that point, shake till you have a slushy. Taste is awesome!

4/17/12 Day 2, wk 2 (75%)
4:45-5:45

Flat BB Bench 5x5 @205 ( Have been really focusing on keeping my scapula tucked and my elbows in tight. Learning to "Spread the Bar" has been a big help in this)

Dip 12/11/6

BO BB Row 195x10/10/10

Assisted Pull Up 205 estimated resistance 8/8/8

Close Grip Bench - 155x12, 165x10/8

Side bends 3x12per side

Finished with 30 minutes cardio, 208 cals.

Fed from 12:30 to a bit after 8 tonight. 2505 cals (176 carbs, 218 protein [plus 40 BCAA], 106 fats) with an estimated burn of 4200.

I have been wrapping my right wrist the last two work outs and it is starting to heal.

Continue to pour sweat once I get working and am loving that. Also, noted that I have a significant increase in body hair for what that is worth. Libido is also on the rise. The PX could be more affective as an appetite suppressant but that is a secondary consideration for me.

[TurningGreen]

Lol at the hair. When Im cycling PHs or using DAA my hair grows so much quicker as well as finger and toe nails. It's crazy as hell. I guess it's a good sign that the compounds are working.

I find that it's role as an appetite suppressant increased over time but it is limited to about 8 hours whcih is great for lean gains but on burn days I could take another at around 2pm to finish off the day... no reason whatsoever for a second pill on workout days..

[taman6886]

Real Mexican and you are craving "The generic smell of Taco Bell"? That is TWISTED! LOL. You can always order steak or chicken fajita, skip the chips and salsa and just eat the meat, peppers and onion mix!

HA! I know right?! It's like I'm pregnant or something hahaha!! Yeah man we have some good Mexican joints, and I usually do just as you said. The poor non-English speaking waitresses always get confused lol. Oh and the chips...like receiving water torture...having to watch everybody stuff their pie holes while I'm gripping the seat trying to keep my meat paws out of the basket haha!
