Yea in logic it makes sense to me that double dosing AP would provide added benefits, but maybe that logic is flawed. It seems to me if you can dose AP and P-Slin together then you would be fine double dosing AP. I will probably give it a try next time I go to get sushi. Just have to make sure I get enough carbs (to cover the double dosed AP needs) in because I start to feel hypo if I don't get in enough carbs after dosing my AP.

Haha. Yea my diet habits haven't necessarily had a positive effect on my dating life thus far. I just need to find a girl that completely understands what drives me and so far that hasn't happened. The first date I try to hide my OCD dieting the best I can and then slowly reveal the full extent of my obsession.

Haha, it's apparent you've been in this situation before. I will remember that little 'formula' you've got there, surely, that can't scare any girl away within those three dates !
- but then KEEPING a diet while having a girl/girlfriend around -> TOUGH $HIT ! Who doesn't have a girl who goes, 'I want some ice cream' or 'I want some waffles or pancakes' ? They're crazy for that $hit, believe it or not ! LOL.. I've once had to cook up a steak burrito with rice, beans, and the whole shabangabang for the girl ONLY because it wasn't in my diet. Needless to say, I was criticized for not enjoying some with her ! haha ..

Tell me, how the girls feeling your veins/vascularity ? And obviously, you'll be dealing with the 'juice-label' for a long time to come, my friend, so just get used to the sore wannabes who don't have the dedication required to go big such as yourself !
SICK decline by the way !!

yeah..but get this i hopped on incline hammer strength and only went up to 265x6. a difference of weight or what? LMAO
my baby digs the veins, but she herself is into being fit :chick:. However my friends that are girls have mixed opinions. They says i have alot and too many and that they are scary. others say they like it and thats its cool. I guess it depends on the girl.

I agree with Texas. It depends on the girl. Girls that are more fitness minded are a lot more opened to liking and appreciating vascularity.

Never enough
actually tho AP + Pslin are different enough that taking them together <> taking 2 ap. I think in a general sort of way that there is a limit to how much in carbs you can take in with a given span of time regardless of taking nutrient partitioners. And besides, live a little
a single meal even if you consume 200g of "extra" carbs is only 800 cal. so long as you aren't doing that daily its not that big a deal.

Day #25:
No AM cardio, period today. I woke up at 11.45AM, dammit, so my whole day is out of whack ! I had a ON Whey shake at noon, and I was hoping to start sipping on my Steel Edge and hit an early afternoon weight session, but I'm waiting to hear back from this lady with the company where I will be working this summer. I already managed to pick up (while I was sleeping) when she called me at 10.15AM this morning, but I can't even remember doing it. Not only that, my damn phone log said I was on the phone for 15 seconds, so I sure as hell hope I didn't literally pick up and sound all out of whack and actually talked to her ! Embarrassing as hell if so ..

As am I. I was going to, but I had already taken 2 hours to return the phone call back to the company, and I realized if I did do cardio and missed ANOTHER phone call from their representative, I'd be $hit out of luck.
GOOD NEWS: I got my intership, and I'll be starting june 2nd. I'm stoked as hell, as I'll finally be getting a pay check in the mail again! It's been too damn long..
It looks like I may be getting on another road trip after all, then. My ex and I may hit up Grand Junction, Colorado again to visit my family for a little while. I think we're leaving on Monday or Tuesday of next week, and I'd be coming back end of the month. Still not entirely decided upon yet, and it'd obviously reduce my gym sessions for that time being. Hmm, all the things needing to be considered here ..
Alright, dammit, it's about damn time I get another thread up here ! I'm sipping on my Steel Edge and I am loving the flavor! I threw 4 grams of Beta Alanine in there to make it a little more similar to IntraBolic (
) as well. Today's workout will definitely put the Steel Edge to the test. My last meal last night was at 11.30PM, and I finished off with a shake at 2.30AM. This morning I woke up at 11.45AM, and at noon I had a 50 grams ON Whey protein shake with 16 grams of MCT oil only. I'll be hitting the gym at 2PM, hoping to be energized, focused, and prepared for a gut wrenching ordeal ! I've got to go back in my log and find out what bodypart it's time to train, and start giving myself a couple ideas.

Weight - 227.6 lbs.
- Steel Edge really did something with the mind/muscle connection ! I attempted a couple new exercises - a la Volcom - and they torched my deltoids ! The Steel Edge provided a smooth, constant rush of energy, and my rest was decreased to 60 seconds between sets. Intensity was up, drive and motivation was up, and like I said, I really felt the individual muscles of the deltoid do the work depending on whether it was an anterior-, posterior, or medial deltoid exercise. Very impressed ! I could've kept going - which I originally planned on - but I got a text after an hour saying my girl/ex was on her way.. I had to rush back home and clean my place, so there's my cardio right there ! lol
Hoping for cardio this evening, and this afternoon () but it depends on her plans ..

Case and point .. (proof from this afternoon)
[I'm gonna tell this story in the form of a theatre script.]
The Troubles of Dieting and Females not Respecting a Man's Mission
[Girl/Ex walks in after a week and a half apart. Big Pimpin' Norwegian is shocked by what he sees and grabs around as Ex walks in the door. Ex has lost weight, and way too much of it! Big Pimpin' Norwegian doesn't hesitate to state his case.]
- God dammit, woman, you've lost like 10-12 lbs !! said big pimpin' Norwegian. You're SKINNY, what's your deal?
- I just haven't eaten, I don't have time with adderall and finals and all! said girl. But now that I'm here, let's go get some IHOP pancakes!
[Big pimpin' Norwegian is flustered by the OBVIOUS 10-12 lbs weightloss his Ex had had in a meager week and a half]
- OK, we'll go to put some meat on your bones, but I'm getting a salad. I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm gonna keep at that, said big pimpin' Norwegian.
[We both put our shoes on]
- Are you a fag? said girl sarcastically, A salad?!
- Are you ****ing serious you dumb cvnt ?! You keep telling me I'm too big, so I try to cut down, then I cut down, and I'm too veiny, WHAT THE FVCK YOU WANT FROM ME!? said big pimpin' Norwegian.
[The 'date' is already off to a terrible start, and Big pimpin' Norwegian don't even have mrs. MJ around for comfort]
[Girl straddles Big Pimpin' Norwegian, grabs his shoulders, and goes, with her Bambi eyes..]
- Pleeeeeease, Baby, Honey, for me ?! Have some pancakes with me ! Preetty please ?! I'll **** you !
[Girl rubs on Big Pimpin' Norwegian's chest, arms and shoulders]
- Please ?! the Ex kept begging.
- No, I'm gonna have a salad, sorry, boo, Big Pimpin' Norwegian said.
- OH MY GOD, we're not going then, if you're gonna have a salad! Hell, I'm just gonna leave! said obnoxious girl.
[little girl unstraddles me, grabs her purse and computer bag without hesitation, and opens the door. Big Pimpin' Norwegian's jumps up, veins are out and about, a surge of testosterone is coarsing through his veins, he's getting worked up, but it's definitely NOT the right situation to be getting pissed off in. But he can't hold back ... DUH!]
- You fvckin' serious ? Come on, get real! said pimpin' Norwegian. Stay here, dammit, I haven't seen ya in a week and a half !
- No, it's whatever, I'm leaving, said crazy girl.
- FINE, ****ing FINE, WHATEVER, I'll have some god damned, cursed, fvcking pancakes with you, Big Pimpin' Norwegian said, with MUCH hesitation.
[after some forth and back arguing and convincing, they decide to go to IHOP. Big Pimpin' Norwegian got a serving of four Whole Grain Oats Pancakes with nothing on top and had two of them. At least the never-satisfied girl shut her mouth up. Then the fairy tale wrapped up with a little badonka-donk, before she parted ways..]
THE END!

I forgot a whole scene, dammit.
[The meal is over. Big Pimpin' Norwegian is looking at his two remaining pancakes, wondering, do I bring them for a semi-carb load? HELL NO!]
- OK, so who's paying ? said little girl.
- Oh, you are, toots, I told you I ate right before you came here, and I didn't want pancakes to begin with, so you're paying! Said Big Pimpin' Norwegian, as he realized this $20 could've put him half-way on the road to any of the new supplements out there.
[Girl looks startled..]
- Umm, ahhh, OK, fine, said girl, facing the inevitable truth of paying up being the only option.
[Big Pimpin' Norwegian confidently leaves his wallet in his pocket while little girl digs for her Debit Card.]

when I hear stories like this, i'm not surprised how many people end up divorced 
you know, part of the problem is yours too tho, for continuing to see her and not just outright telling her you don't want to waste your time with someone who isn't supportive of your goals. This is the sort of person who would say "come on, its my birthday, what harm could one drink do" if you were an alchoholic. At least you can tell her she's not worth spending time with since if she can't respect your goals in SUCH A SMALL area as what you eat she obviously won't share or respect your other goals in life either.
Hopefully that will at least help her sometime down the road

Yeah, man, and we're not even engaged yet going at it with petty, pointless arguements such as that one. I understand what you're saying, and to be fair, you're not the first one to mention it. People have been trying to drill it in my head for a long, long time, yet I can't seem to let go. But man, the nit-picking of me by her has ****ed with my head for a long time. I'm not simply at the stage with my body where I can say, I'm gonna cut down and get to a stage where I love being, because at that point I've got the fear of dismissal/rejection from her .. Hence, I go about with another product stack where I don't know where I'm headed, no sense of direction, just lots of continuous dedication..
I guess in a sense I'm a masochist, because I don't seem to avoid nor move on past this girl .. knowing the ups and downs are inevitable ..
Maybe I'll learn with age ..

Don't take it to hard on yourself bro. I was the same way for a long time. I dated a girl for almost three years off and on, and the entire time I should have just used my head and gotten out of the relationship. She wasn't good for me and we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of essential areas. Plus we were constantly arguing about the stupidest and most random stuff.
Just give it some time man and keep yourself busy so you won't have to think about her. It's hard to move on from someone who you've been involved with for so long and the only thing that can help is time and the only thing that can make time go by faster is to stay busy and focus on other things. Take this time to just really focus in on your diet and training and this new internship.
Best of luck to you bro and don't sweat it. Keep your head up.

I appreciate the kind words, bro! And my situation is quite similar to yours .. dated for almost four years, on and off .. We broke up a while back, had a couple of 6-week breaks from eachother, then get back together and it's all hot and heavy for another month, and the 'down-time' begins again ..
I'm thinking I'll get things in a better perspective when I begin working my internship, because first and foremost, I need to focus on my career goals as well as my last couple of semesters at school. Oh, and I may have struck gold regarding the internship, because we (the company and I) have already confirmed I'll continue as a part time employee (20+ hours/week) for at least the next year of school. I'm definitely stoked about that !

Bottom line. You're young, on a productive and progressive path to success and are probably in societies' top 1-2% of physiques. As you age, you squeeze higher up in the tier of extraordinary physiques.
As hot as she maybe, you'll always have options because of everything I jut listed. She might be a great girl over all, but has times of extreme immaturity and lameness, that's not uncommon with "hot girls." The world pampers them so they are self entitled to hissy fits and getting away with it, because the world allows it.
Second Bottom Line. There are girls just as hot and hotter and half the drama. It's hard to tell someone to drop someone they've dated and loved for any duration. Always easier said then done. I'm not telling you to drop it like its hot, just keep in your mind. There are way more girls that look like her, thin & pretty, then there are guys that look like you, large AND lean. If we're talking business you're the more valuable stock per unit. She's much more generic, just remind yourself you carry more weight on a teeter totter of reality, so if she loses you, you'll more then likely trade up.
Being someone who has had experience with hot, crazy Southern Californian spoiled blonds. They yell and scream and just when you think its over they call back and apologize. They're more afraid of being alone then you are of losing them. Especially when she knows you're far from the beer gutted boyfriend all her friends are dating.

Day #25:
PM Cardio
Stairmaster; Speed Interval Training; Level 12; 45 minutes; 785 calories.
- I took 350 mg Raspberry Ketones and 500 mg EGCG prior to my cardio session, and I swear, it made me sweat like a pig! Also, as opposed to last time around on the Interval Stairmaster training, I was full of energy the first 2/3, but the last 1/3 (15 minutes) were pretty grueling. I'm real happy I was able to put in this session, especially considering the couple carbs I got from those pancakes earlier ..
Weight - 226 lbs !! Finally feeling leaner !

Volcom nails this one on the head! Extremly true and well put. I know how your feeling man you just be yourself man and don't let people cahnge you. you are who you are and if she can't have you that way fukc her. I am goign through some bullshit like this with a girl that i have dated on and off for 6 years. They are crazy man the more i try to get away the harder she tries to stay with me and so on. i figure if she doesn't want me all the time then i am gone. She thinks that will never happen but its about to. :hammer:

Volcom is 100% correct with every one of his assumptions, and he's been down the path himself. It's an aweful situation to be in, because even though me and her (or you and your, Hman) aren't together and there's a lot of arguments, you do know that she cares a lot for you, and it's only gotten deeper over the years. This is why we're in a sense 'trapped' in our semi-miserable world, not always sticking to our guns, because we do get our happy times, just not all the time ..
Volcom, I really appreciated that input, kind of sets things in several different perspectives, and it's good to know I'm not in a unique situation, per se, and other good men (Volcom) have been there and gotten out of it seemingly unharmed ..
hman85, we've got a little roads ahead of us still, don't we?! Me and 'mine' literally do, close to 3200 miles worth to be honest, when we head out on our road trip in less than a week. I'm hoping for a repeat of our August '07 roadtrip to Colorado but without the bad after-effects that came then .. But I can only wait and see what happens ! Either way, man, best of luck to you and your decisions-to-be-made !

I was just saying .. compared to Volcom, you and I still haven't been able to say our good-bye's to that one girl in our lives .. You mentioned you're still dealing with a similar issue as I am ..
My ex and I, a little while after we broke up, actually headed out on a 3,200 mile road trip to visit my family in Colorado last August. We hadn't seen eachother all summer, as I had been in Norway for 10 weeks, and I come back, we had a great tone going, and she wanted to hit the roads with me without hesitation. Because I will be working all summer, starting June 2nd, I won't be able to visit my family later on this year, until maybe Christmas, so my ex jumped in and said she wanted to go to Colorado again. Brought up a week and a half ago, and may come through towards the end of next week.
