chin ups
BWx20
Strong day in the main lift for not having slept much though , I went back on the weight on the assistance because I wasn't liking my form and ROM and rather go for higher controlled reps with better ROM and more MM connection.
Form-X notes:
Ok I didn't sleep much but I still recovered fine from yesterday and almost all the burn from that HIIT mayhem is gone. Libido is still high and today I actually talked to the girl that works at my gym I think it's cute so that's saying something. As for increased aggression well, the extra set of chin ups was because this Cross Fit dude was doing chin ups right by me swinging around a lot and actually sent his iPod flying and hit me in the back of the head because of his weird swinging form...I bitched at him todo proper form and he said e can get 12 reps like that, that I couldn't even do 5...well proper form all the way up and all the way down I did 20 and merely said: "now workout without excuses dude" so yeah aggression is there. No difference yet in penile sensitivity as of today.
killer workout bud! the best way to put the silly Cross Fit guys in their place is to lead buy example :thumbsup:
were you saying earlier that your stoned roommates ate your food? I try to be a cool headed individual, but when people f*ck with my food I get angry (like when my stoned-loser-brother-in-law-soon-to-be-moving-tha-f*ck-out housemate eats all my oatmeal).
that last pic is how I look when I find the empty oatmeal tub in the pantry (why not just through it away?!?!)

I don't mind haha was at 7 loved the 6pack hated being 126.7lbs haha xD gimme tips on getting your mass bro! You are big AND lean!! Envy hahaLITERaCOLA
Member
when it comes to gaining mass I'd ease into it as in lets say 1 week 3500 cals next week 4000, next week 4500 ect ect. Otherwise, at least from my experience when I was in my teens, When I added 2 mass gainer shakes a day instead of food intake i spent alot of my day on the toilet.
it may be a myth but you can possibly stretch your stomach out my eating a plethora of grapes, romaine hearts, and celery. I tried it and seemed to allow me eat more after a few weeks. but whether it was just that i believed it would work or it really working i couldnt tell you.

As for the smile...I carry too much pain, baggage, wounds and regrets in my head

Ok so I was kinda busy today and didn't have time to cook much at all...So I attacked my frozen stash (Cooked over the weekend with Senior Troll (my dad) and kept there just in case) Food was as follows:
-8 oz of 90/10 ground beef, this was cooked in its own fat, only with spices added, to mention some: Cayenne Pepper, cinnamon and some black pepper.
-Brown rice: 2 cups with:
-2 TBSP of Sesame Tahini , for added massive amounts of Mono Saturated Fat and also a good deal of Sesame to the diet.
-4 slices of Ezekiel Bread to accompany.
Afternoon snack:
-1 cup of egg whites with:
-1/2 cup oatmeal
Cooked in a express microwave fashion and accompanied by:
-2 cups of fat free milk
Dinner:
-3 cups of oatmeal
-2 cups of fat free milk
Totals:
Totals 3,013 kCals 429g of carbs 70g of fat 175g of protein.
I will make a note to keep protein lower so I can get at least some 500g of carbs in the remainder of the cut, today I was just too spaced out and forgot to keep the beef to just 4 oz and merely add some natty PB or almond butter to supplement the remainder of the fats.
Form-X notes:
-So far not much to notice, but I do feel good endurance in the gym and even though I have been lacking a good quality sleep for the past days, I still don't feel groggy and my mood is pretty good. I guess it will take the remainder of this weeks doses for it to kick in full gear and start drying me out and helping me boost strength, it will be MUCH needed for the weeks to come, my goal is to finally reach at least 245-255 deadlifts and at least 225 proper squating (it was brought to my attention by some powerlifter friends that my squat had been a bit off in form and depth lately, and I wasn't going below parallel and also sometimes my knees would "bend" inwards instead of staying flared out like they should, so I am working on my proper form again and working my way up in weight again with a narrower stance and better ROM )
Off to bed, much needed rest Good night AM!! Tomorrow is a cardio day, and also, like today, quite a hectic day...since shadowing an executive in all the things he decides to do (or errands he sends me off to) usually involve running around and keeping myself active and quite sweaty in this 100+ degree heat!

Oh bro I know!! I love my whole eggs :S! But when I don't have time to cool its easier to pour the liquid egg whites in a bowl with oatmeal and microwave them!! But I do love the nice healthy fats they bring!! I just haven't had time and I ran out of eggs last week and I still have like 2 little bottles of whites haha, I'll make sure to buy them this week ok
? Thanks for the advice T-Bro! Day 4 6/21 Cardio Day!!
Elliptical Machine did 23~ minutes.
-5 minute jogging warm up.
-8 sets of 30 second all out and 1 minute jog (The jog turned into a real steady WALK after set 4...I had a horrible time keeping up with the recovery!)
-Attempted the 1 minute all out in the end but my smoking lungs said: "Yeah, you and what army?" haha...failed miserably at around second 20, it was hell to actually do the last 2 all out 30 second intervals so this did NOT come as a surprise...I tried...next time I'll make it!.
-5 minute cooldown walk/jog (jog towards the last 2 minutes...)
So the elliptical kicked my well toned 5'5" a*s (yes modesty included in that comment) and had to call it quits without even getting to my usual 40+ minutes of cardio, I tried to do so even when I walked out of the gym, since we have a fairly good "track" for running, 2 soccer fields lined in parallel, so the horizontal distance ammounts exactly and perfectly for 30 second springs and the small vertical distance can be jogged at the 1 minute break or so...I attempted to even do 2 laps (meaning 4 HIIT sets) and well...I only did a lap and a half and a very familiar pain in my abdominal came back (I had not sensed this since I was a little 180lb fat boy) telling me I do not have the cardiovascular efficiency (YET) to keep up with that much REAL HIIT...funny how I can and do run at 6-7 mph for 1+ hours and I can't even get 40 minutes of this set up of HIIT...
Form-X Notes:
Ok I am fairly good at getting this symptoms recognized , its not my first run with T Boosters, and this morning I woke up to a pool of sweat, a drier looking me and a fully rested and happy self! This means the AI and DAA are kicking in IMO, specially when I should have woken up sore as hell from my shoulders and I merely feel like an almost perfect recovery with the usual LIGHT soreness...On a side note, to those of you who don't know (how would you I never talk about this :blink: ) I suffer from something called Night Terrors...well I know I am in deep sleep mode when I get real deep into the...(lets call the "nightmares" for a more familiar word)... nightmares and well I know for a fact, dreaming and reliving something that really left me scarred means I did sleep deep, and proof is I did wake up feeling fresh...I did not wake up at all throughout the night, and well I guess my bodies euphoria of finally being released of facing those demons again by waking up is what caused the happy feeling when I was finally rising from bed...Could also be the DAA, I have real nice mood when I am on test boosters. So far, Form-X has already started drying me out then, and also helping with recovery, my now extended use of ALCAR could have something to do with this, but my attention , focus and mental activity seem to be rising in a good way, could be the ALCAR or the DAA interacting through NMDA agonism , but at least I can say the memories I hold from the past are far more vivid now in my mind and I have begun to piece some details of them...

Form-X Notes:
Ok strength and recovery are clearly up and I sweat a lot overnight waking up dry and rested. Drying effects are quite good and feeling happy about it, first time attempting 135 on front squat and it felt mighty fine, I'll try more as the weeks go by, for now lea are on fire and gotta point out endurance is also up, happy with the results so far
!On a side note, Penile sensitivity is still normal, and I wonder how is it some people claim changes or fluctuations in their tickle pickle department while in Test Boosters.

Nite terrors are awful. My wife's friend has them . She slept by the house a long time ago and she had a terror on the toilet . She was sound asleep screaming like she was being attacked.
I had seven heart attacks that night. I charged out of the room ready for a fight to the death and I was met with a screaming woman asleep on my toilet .
I'm still traumatized by that image .

They are indeed...specially when you posses the kind of memory that does not let you forget many things for quite a while, lets just say your mind takes a sick kind of pleasure in making you relive horrible memories over and over again, while reminding you that you can NOT wake up...
Ok diet today has been on point:
So far I've had:
First Meal:
-2 cups of brown rice
-4 oz of 90/10 lean beef
-2 tablespoons sesame tahini
-4 pieces of whole wheat bread
-1 cup of fat free milk
Second meal (snack):
-1 cup of cottage cheese (2% milk fat)
-1 tbsp almond butter (natural)
-2 pieces whole wheat bread
Dinner, about to have it:
-2 pieces of whole wheat bread
-3 cups of oatmeal
-1.5 cups of heb fat free milk
Totals:
3,060 468g of carbs 68g of fat 143g of protein.
I liked todays set up for macros, hit them quite nice IMO, could have done with a bit less protein and a bit more carbs/fat but it is what it is
! Still pretty good, and tomorrow and sunday I get to cook so it will be much better macro wise .
