I haven't looked in a while, so it may have changed. Canada and Mexico sites were popular...I would prefer the former.
 
yeah, the FDA clamped down on that. its a pity. I wish I would have bookmarked that one :frustrate: as it was legitimate. I spent the time to research it too that day, found references going back a few years of people ordering from them (from forum posts)
 
I hate my job...I don't think I've ever said that before, but I honestly do maybe 5-10 hours of work a week. I've asked for more work and they just look at me like Im crazy...bu its driving me nuts.
 
So, that brings me to the next question.

Who is worse. The losers that go on those shows, or the losers who watch them?

I dunno, it's some kind of reality show with Tila Tequila.

the top one is "a shot at love" with tila tequila. Its sort of a twist on the bachelor reality shows in that she is bisexual, so she had a group of girls as well as a group of guys, and is elimnating one by one.....
 
Take a look at this plan if you guys don't mind and tell me what you think. I really want to get back into some solid strength/cardiovascular shape by early February of next year and here is the first 8 week plan I've devised.

Take into account nearly a week off between week 1 and 2 (thanksgiving) and another week off between week 5 and 6 (Christmas vacation). Although I'll be working out it'll be light recovery weeks due to no access to a gym.

All Abdominal work included is sets of 12-15. All Calf workouts are also sets of 12-15.

The idea of this next 10 weeks (8 weeks on schedule, 2 weeks vacation) is to increase my intake and build back up to 182-185 range that I was at before this long drawn out move. I'm currently at 175ish, but I'll weigh myself at the beginning of next week. Any tweeks or adjustments, suggestions are welcome.

I took off from workout out today again. this respiratory infection sucks. If I wasnt chest congested too, i would have worked out
 
Let's break this down per workout:

Tuesday
Squats
Incline BB bench
Bent Over Rows
Behind head shoulder press
Incline DB Curls
Pushdowns
Calf raises
Crunches
​

Thursday
Leg Press
Flat DB bench
Seated Rows
DB Shoulder Press
Cable curls
Skull Crushers
Seated Calf Raises
Leg Raises
​

How many reps and how do you rest between sets?

Since its the first week back I'm thinking 50-60% max weight, 12-15 reps, 2 sets each. With a minute or two between set 1 and 2. 2-3 Minutes rest between each new exercise.
 
Now squats will hit the hammies, especially if you go a2g; however, people typically have an imbalance when it comes to quads and hammies.
 
Now that rep/set/rest range is only for week 1. I wanted one week to ease myself back in, the other 7 weeks are pyramid fashion 3 sets each 12/8/4, with 1.5-2 minutes rest between each set, maybe a little more rest before the final 4 rep set.

Two suggestions:
1) You might be switching exercises too frequently. I think it might help you to judge your strength progress if you stick with the same exercises for up to 3 weeks so you can.
2) You have the same pyramid scheme for the 6 middle weeks. You might want to do something to increase the intensity every couple of weeks. Maybe after 2 weeks, you decrease your rest time. Then after another 2 you add volume by doing another set of the main compound exercises.

That will put you roughly at 16-20 minutes of TUT (Time Under Tension) and about 32 minutes rest that sets your workout at about 60 minutes. Which is good. Workouts should be between 40-70 minutes in duration.
 
My idea behind switching the focus exercises each week is that I'm hitting the muscle group from a different direction on a weekly basis to keep the shock value working.

Weeks 2-4 and Weeks 5-7 are identical, so 2 is the same as 5, 3 as 6, 4 as 7. So I would use those to judge how my strength is increasing. At least that was the thought...but maybe you have a point in that I may be changing the exercises too often. Perhaps two weeks of the same exercises, switch it up for 2 weeks, then back to the original exercises for the remaining 2 weeks.

Pretty cute.

The only other thing would be the idea of pyramiding well doing a full body workouts????

I'm only pyramiding during the 3 day split. Not during the full body workouts, which are only for the first week to get back into the routine.
 
Wow...this is re-god-****-diculous. My company's website filter is "learning". It has now blocked a few normal websites that I frequent and just blocked my Gmail as of this afternoon. :wtf:

Well, the card could have crapped out, its definitely possible. another funny tidbit is that being too close to the wireless router can cause that as well. its best to be at least 3-5 feet from it. Outside of that, with the belkin card in uninstall its drivers then reinstall them.

Well see, this is the thing. The computer acts like it doesn't even see the wireless card. And there are no other signals being picked up. The night before we had 6 from various neighbors.

THats whats lending me to believe its something in my computer because the ethernet stopped working as well until I repaired the driver to it.

I did have once, a long time ago, a windows update screw up a bunch of **** similar to this. Sound card driver and some other stuff, but there was no rollback driver when I tried it with the belikin card

I"ll try to reinstall the Belkin.
