If you're eating the unflavored greek yogurt, here's a little tip for you. Get you favorite flavor of either Axcell or RecoverPRO and mix a scoop into it. Awesome stuff man!!

Mix it before you freeze it. Instant popsicle. I perfer superhero popsicles though.

Love me some yogurt, haven't tried the greek yogurt other than when out at a greek spot. Any names or recomendations for best brand to try? Nice to see someone else eating some good stuff. I myself am about to devour 1 cup low carb raspberry yogurt mixed with 12 oz low fat cottage cheese. YUM! Probably doesn't sound all that good but give it a shot. I am tempted to throw in some peanuts for texture but not sure yet. May eat them on the side and enjoy a small grapefruit.

That sounds good!
I don't remember tha name brand of the Greek yogurt, it was from Kroger in the cold/dairy organic section. They had a managers special on the almost expired ones for 50 cents compared to around $2 for a new one. No wonder why I hadn't ever tried them before...
Well I just got back from my bball game and we blew the other team out by almost 20 i think. I think I had around 12-15 points, all off offensive boards and lay ups. The only flaw was that I was 3-7 from the free throw line,that is horrible. In highdchool I could hit them all day long :wink1:
I was super agressive drawing all kinds of contact though. We were just too fast and shot too good from 3 for them to be close. I really wanted to get a dunk in, but I didnt get a clear lane. There is always next week though.
It rained all day, so at work I sat inside and ate solid four times in 4 hours. Mostly chicken breast w/ a pineapple on it, with fish, potatoes (sliced and mashed) and greens. Right now I am eating some fish and broccoli.
I also did some core work this morning before work. Tomorrow I got a back/biceps day that I really can't wait to get too.

Thanks LG!! Luckily in the last day or two I haven't had any more pimples coming in, but my skin is still oily.
Yep tons of Krogers down here, along w/ HEB and a few Randalls. But I stick to Kroger since there are two within 5 minutes of my house
Last night during my bball game, during the first few minutes I was going up for a layup and this guy pulled on my arms and fouled me. But on the way down I landed awkward and I tweaked my ankle. It is really sore this morning though. I'm still going to go lift for sure

they switch it up at work, the mashed sweet potatoes are a lot better though. I wish they would have some sweet baked potatoes sometime!!

Yeah we got more Krogers in Houston than anything. Heck with a Kroger card we are all set, cheap gas, cheap meat, pre wrapped and ready to go sweet potatoes 10 for a $1 "Hint Hint"
Since you mentioned wanting baked Sweet potatos. I just wrap up sweet potatoes in saran wrap stab it once with a fork and nuke for 6 minutes. A little cinnamon to increase insulin sensitivity, some splenda, 1/2 oz crushed nuts and a fork to mix with with. CANDIED YAMS in 7.5 minutes. YUM!!!!! Even better on high carb days with a little honey.
OOPS! I made myself hungry. Thank goodness tonight is a carb refeed, I know what I am making tonight.
Don't forget to ice that ankle, and wrap it if you are doing explosive movements. All the old stuff i just toughed though when I was younger is haunting me now and I am only 36.

Sorry to hear about the ankle. I have torn ligaments in my right ankle twice playing bball. Still to this day I will be walking and boom it will roll on me.

Thanks for the advice guys! I iced up the ankle aftr I lifted today, while I was doing some stuff for the certification program that I am doing. Then I had to work, and walk around. Luckily it was a great day outside today. It felt soooo good walking around outside.
My Workout:
Chin Ups - BW + 20 x 7,7,7,6 superset w/
DB Rows - 85 x 3,3,3,3
Snatch Grip Elevated Deadlifts - 205 x 5, 245 x 5, 255 x 5,5,5
Hammer Curls - 35 x 5,5 45 x 5,5
Today's Foods:
For breakfast today I had a cup of oatmeal, 4 eggs, banana, and some coconut milk. Post workout I had 40 grams of whey and 30 grams of dextrose. Then I ate some more eggs and two slices of bread w/ honey and peanut butter. At work it was "Mexican Day", I went to eat three times, with a total of 4 plates of food. Most plates included rice, charo beans, fajita chicken and beef, pico, and guac. It was pretty good, I love the fajita meet. Once I got home from work I ate a can of tuna, with some spinach. Right now I am eating on some PowerButter that I snack on every once in awhile.
In a few minutes I am going to ice down my ankle again. Tomorrow will be busy for me. Got to work, do some other work, and try to lift. I might play in that other bball league as well, but I doubt it- just not enough hours in the day.

yep, so far so good!
I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I noticed a few more pimples come up. One was on the back of my left shoulder and the other was almost done abit on the back of my arm, near the top of my left tricep.
Libido is still sky high, and I seem to be hardening up too. Agression is higher than normal (I think this helped during my bball game) and my confidence is way up aswell. I'm really enjoying TestoPRO!!:naughty:

Update!
Yesterday...
I was fricken busy all day long yesterday, I tried to squeeze in time to update, but I everytime I tried I had to get up and do something esle. I did have enough time to drain all of my energy during a workout though
Lifting
Squats - 225 x 3, 235 x 3, 245 x 3, 255 x 3, 265 x 3, 275 x 3,3
Power Clean to Push Press - 65 x 5, 85 x 5, 105 x 5, 135 x 3, 145 x 2, 165 x 1, 185 got the clean and failed on the press
Food:
Post workout I had 40 grams of whey and 30 grams of dextrose. After this I had to rush a shower and head to work. At work I then ate two plates of brisked, black eyed peas, collard greens, corn, and a rye roll. It was BBQ day, but the only thing other than brisket was sausage. I had this basic meal three times before I left for the day. Once I got home I made a burrito with chicken, black beans, and some salsa. For dinner I ate some home made chili.
Other Stuff:
I did end up playing in that other bball league. They were already 3 games into the league and I didn't play much. Even though the other team had two guys 6'5"+ in for most of the game and we had none. I was called for some picky fouls once in, and I scored a few buckets but my free throws were still off - I think I was 2 for 5. We still won the game easily by 10, were up by 20 w/ 5 minutes left.
Today I have to work the early shift, so hopefully I will be home early. If I can get in a workout I will. My agression is still high, ex: There was a ton of s*** talking going on last night and I was even part of it, which I can never recall that I have done in the past. There was one more pimple on my right shoulder this morning, I guess I am prone to getting them. :boggled:

TGIF....
Update:
So today did not go as planned at all. I wonder how that happened:think:
First off, got to work early. Sat around for two hours doing nothing, just waiting for the food room to open up for lunch. Then all of the sudden I had to work outside non-stop for 5 and a half hours. By the time I got back in the kitchen was in the break time between lunch and dinner service.
I ended up not eating anything at all for 8 hours. Needless to say I was starving when I got home. Once I did get home I treated it like a post workout situation, 40 grams of whey and 30 grams of dextrose with pineapple slices. After that my friend invited my girl and I to go out with him to eat. We just went to Chipolte and I ate a burrito and about half of my gal's burrito bowl. I was full after this one. An hour ago I ate a chicken breast and a bunch of almonds.
It really sucked not eating for so long, I laughed when I thought to myself that I tested out "intermediate fasting" or what ever it is called :wink1:
Tomorrow I am going to hit chest/tri's/hams. Pretty siked about it for sure!!!

Thanks ded, I was suprised that I got 165 up and even more suprised that I cleaned 185. I was exhausted by the time I got around to it. Once the bar was on my shoulders i knew there was no chance that I could throw it up though

How does your ankle feel?
jdg487
Well-known member
my ankle feels great now. The icing and heating that I did on Wednesday helped out a ton. By Thursday it was fine, and I had no mobility issues on the court.
Right now I am 1/3 of the way done w/ my bottle TestoPRO (10 days). I am feeling extra confident in every thing that I do. Not the "alpha male" feeling just yet, but I assume it will come soon. My concentration also seems to have increased as I am completely focused on whatever I am doing at the time. I have noticed a small strength increase so far, but nothing to dramatic. All in all I believe that the TestoPRO has started kicking in, hopefully the positive effects will become exponentially apparent soon :naughty:

Another day
Today:
I had to make up for yesterdays lack of food with some feasting today. For breakfast I ate 6 eggs, tortilla, 1/2 can of black beans, and salsa with a shake of 1/4 cup of oatmeal, strawberry yogurt, coconut milk, and peanut butter. Then I sat around for an hour and went to lift.
Lifting:
Bench Press - 175 x 3, 185 x 3, 195 x 3, 205 x 3, 210 x 3, 215 x 2,2
Dips - BW x 10, +20 x 8, +35 x 5, +45 x 8,5
Stiff Leg Deads - 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 205 x 5, 215 x 5,5
BB Pull Overs - 65 x 10,10,10 superset w/
Skullcrushers - 65 x 10,8,7
Single Leg Curls - 30 x 8,8,6
Foods:
Post workout was my usual 40/30. Then I ate a chicken breast, the rest of the black beans, 2 slices of ezekiel bread w/ honey, and some peanut butter. After this I headed to work. There I ate some bbq chicken, veggies, potatoes, and fish. An hour and a half later I went back up and had 2 chicken fried steaks, potatoes, and veggies. Another 2 hours later I went up again and had another chicken fried steak, veggies, some cut up chicken breast, and a piece of corn bread.
I had a solid workout today. 215 is the most that I have ever benched. My triceps are pretty sore now, along with my hams. I got the 215 on bench a lot easier than I thought that I would have. Now that 225 goal that I have will hopefully be smashed in the next 20 days.
Tonight is going to be a straight rest night. I do not know what I will be eating yet, but it will be good. Tomorrow will be a back and biceps day, I might have time for some core work too.
