Looks great, breezy. I'm gonna have to scoop up some of those wraps myself.

Thanks boss. I think they're under $3 for a bag of 6 at Trader Joes.

Glad you are feeling better man. I love the food you eat...I may have to steal some of the combos and stuff you buy (but eat smaller portions for myself ).

[LiveToLift]

Thanks man. Although I'm feeling a little nauseous at the moment after drinking lemon juice in a glass of hot water. I decided to try JM's liver detox as well. I'm not sure if you have trader Joes in your area, but that's where I always get the majority of my food.

I actually had a Trader Joes run today. I buy quite a bit from there when I get a chance even though it isn't real close.

I'd take a little road trip if I had to as well. Luckily the last couple places I've lived had one close by. I actually have to drive by it on the way to my new gym, which is very convenient.

After mentioning that you like my food choices/meals I was thinking that I might put together a thread with a bunch of different meal options and recipes. I'll try to piece something together over the next few weeks/month.



I made it to the gym today, but my workout numbers are in my car (didn't record them on my phone today), it's late, and it's freezing. That being said, I'll have a full update posted tomorrow. My gym performance was decent, considering I've been sick.

Yeah, you should haha. There's quite a few around here, but I'm not sure if they're in every state.

No problem man. I figured it would be decent idea. I'll start jotting some stuff down and taking pictures of all the crap I eat lol.

Hopefully the stomach issues are clearing up; always a pain when something beyond immediate control interferes with the gym/ life. But whats a few days in the large scale of things; in any case you'll be back to killin' it as always.

Thanks Jiigzz. It definitely sucks having any unexpected setbacks, but you're right, and it could've been a lot worse. My progress might've been slowed for a couple weeks, but I still have plenty of time to make up some ground. I'm thinking about extending my V-1 run for a third month and might add something else at that point as well.

Day 26 (yesterday)

Here's a breakdown of yesterday's supplementation and workout.

Supplementation

VERSA-1: 1 cap 45mins pre workout


Compound 20: 2 caps 1 hour pre workout, 2 caps 8 hours later


Forskolin-95: 1 cap morning, 1 cap pre workout, 1 cap afternoon, 1 cap pre bed (100mg total)

Modern BCAA: 2 scoops intra workout


Agmatine 500: 1 cap morning (about 45mins before breakfast), 2 caps 30mins pre workout


As shown above, I started using the Agmatine 500 from the IC deal. My arms had a serious pump not long into my workout, which was greater than what I've been experiencing without it. I'm unsure exactly how I'll be using it going forward, but will take it daily. I was happy with my gym performance, especially for not feeling 100%. Focus was strong and strength was decent, but energy was down slightly.


EZ Bar Reverse Curls (10sec rest)
2 warm-up x10
60x10
60x10
60x10
60x10

L-Extensions (incline bench)
20x15

30x8




Day 27

Today was a planned day off from the gym. I got a good amount of sleep last night and am feeling pretty good. I'll probably stop taking the antibiotics after tomorrow, as all stomach pain has been gone for a few days. I'm pretty excited to get back at full health and kill the rest of my run.

I still haven't checked my weight, but I feel like it could be down slightly. However, my appearance has definitely tightened up a little over the last few days and my stomach issue could've had me holding some extra weight (it certainly looked like it).

After being gluten free for the last few days, I'm feeling pretty light on my feet and free of any bloating. Obviously with my stomach issue clearing up simultaneously, I can't really contribute it to my diet at this point. Hopefully, the trend continues going forward.



Snack from this afternoon

6oz sliced roast turkey breast, uncured peppered turkey bacon pieces, sliced onion, and red leaf lettuce on a brown rice wrap

Very tasty.



I'll be in the gym tomorrow for a leg workout.

[chedapalooza]

Nice update, back at it strong man! Nver seen incline conc curls.. Will give them a shot next week I think in place of standard ones..

Thanks man. I hadn't either until last week, but they're awesome. I actually have legit bicep DOMS for the second week in a row after years without it (not that DOMS necessarily equals a solid workout). I don't know to what extent the concentration curls added to it, but I'm sure they helped.

Here's a video for reference:

That wrap looks good. Get yourself a temperature controlled container and ship a few down here to NJ.

Also waiting for Breezy's diet e-book. Make sure you include few things under 700 calories for us metabolism challenged.

Full mountain dog back workout today. Can't wait !

[bolt10]

Would definitely appreciate a Breezy food log/suggestion thread.

Just thought I'd say I popped my first Versa-1 today...it has begun.

Haha. I'll have it flown in this afternoon.

Will do...leftovers are always nice too.

Should be fun, good luck. I'm about to murder my legs.

At this point I'm just trying to remember to take pictures of my food. I'll post something up when I get a decent variety of food options to start with. I'm heading back to trader Joes today. I greatly underestimated what I thought would last a week...and apparently how long I was sick for. I feel better than I have all month.

Awesome man. I'm very interested in what you think.

[breezy11]

Holy thermogenesis. It's 30 degrees out and I had to crack the window on the ride to the gym. I'm gonna need to carry a mop around during my workout.

Edit: No running water or bathroom use at the gym today. This is going to be rough. Luckily my shaker was half full and I had $1 to buy a small water ($10 minimum for credit purchases).

Day 28

I woke up feeling a lot better than I have in a while. My energy was up and I was just feeling great overall. Based on today, I think I might've been a little under the weather for the majority of the last month. Either way, it's good to be back.

I weighed 215.5lbs (+1.5lbs from day 1) this morning. I'll take it considering what I've been dealing with. I don't see any added fat compared to day 1 and I'm looking leaner if anything.



Supplementation

VERSA-1: 1 cap 45mins pre workout


Compound 20: 2 caps 1 hour pre workout, 2 caps 8 hours later


Forskolin-95: 1 cap morning, 1 cap pre workout, 1 cap afternoon, 1 cap pre bed (100mg total)


Pre workout mix: 2 scoops Craze/100mg caffeine/2 scoops Protocol V2


ALCAR-500: 2g 45mins pre workout


Modern BCAA: 2 scoops intra workout


Agmatine 500: 1 cap morning (before breakfast), 1 cap post workout (before shake)


Today's workout was awesome. The thermo effect and focus both hit strong on the way to the gym and I was ready to go. Strength was up quite a bit (last leg day was when my fever first hit) and on some exercises by a surprising amount. I was in a fantastic mood, which has only gotten better since my workout.

Seated Leg Curl
2 warm-up x20
120x14
140x12
150x10
90x35

-added 10lbs on 2 sets/hit all target reps


Leg Press (constant tension/no lockout)
2 warm-up x8-10
630x16
680x16
720x16 (2 reps hand assisted)

-This was a pleasant surprise. Last week I finished with 630x15 with 2 assisted reps...apparently I'm feeling better lol.


Hack Squat (pause in hole/no lockout)
1 warm-up x8
270x8
320x10
320x10

-last week all sets 270x8


Stretching
1min per quad


Smith Squat (sets 1+2: ATG/set 3+4: 1.5 technique)
200x8 (20lbs bar resistance+4 plates)
250x8
200x8
180x8

-I failed at 200x7 on the 1.5 set last week. This week I hit my target, waited a minute, dropped weight, and did it again. I only planned on 3 sets, but apparently didn't press record on my first 1.5 set...I was pissed, so I did it again lol. Video coming shortly.


Stretching
1min per quad


DB Stiff Deads
60x12
65x12
70x6

-I had to stop at 6 reps on the final set because I was literally going to throw up on the next rep.



Post workout meal

I added jasmine rice to the combo I had a couple days ago and it was a good move. I think I'll drop an egg on that b*tch next time. I eat more than wraps too.



Tomorrow I'll be back in the gym for a shoulder workout and I can't wait

[fumoney]

Hahaha.......yes, drop an egg in that b!tch.

Ridiculous leg work !
