Killed it today, although I did a few sets of toilet squats... Still not 100%, but good enough to go!
 
Glad to see you back in the gym. Stomach bugs are terrible. Hope it's not a Florida bug as I'm here for a couple more days!
 
Good to see your feeling better. I thought maybe I was coming down with something. Woke up yestarday morning pretty nauseous, but it went away pretty quick. I took 2 DCP 2, and 2 Combustion pre- cardio this morning. Burnt some of this stubborn fat off I am sure!! haha

About that...

I don't know what happened, but I've been feeling nauseous to the point where I want to vomit since about 1000. Worse feeling I've even had the last 3 days. I'm not sure what's going on...

I dosed my 3rd Combustion and second dose of DCP 2.0 15 minutes ago anyway. I know those aren't contributing to these, and I like the little spunk I get from Combustion.

If my feeling doesn't improve I may just take the rest of the week off....

I hope it is a small bug though.
 
Killer workout! No one would even guess you weren't feeling well! I hope the yucky feelings go away! That is no fun!
 
Combustion is good sh-t, nice potent stim. Been enjoying it the past few weeks.

I'm liking it too. It's a different kind of stim than I'm used to, and I've noticed it gives me added focus in the gym also.
 
The sickness feeling faded off a little after that last update, however, I said the same thing yesterday. Wife says she's had stomach issues today, so must just be some bug.

Plan is to hit back tomorrow. Going to add a light band to my meadows rows because I saw Breezy11 do it, and I've liked the bands on everything else. Assuming I make it to the gym, of course.

Thanks Simon. I felt accomplished. As always, I wish I had more time.
 
Also, the wife tried Combustion Sunday. Every fat burner she's ever tried has given her an irritability feeling except this one. She said the stim didn't feel over-powering or cause jitters. Just thought I'd share, and now I'm going to hide the bottle.

Ahhh that's very good to know! After all of the good stuff I've been hearing, I started looking at it for when I'm done with the C2K. Thats very cool that she likes it too! Does she train as well?

Not yet. She's dabbled with T25 and some other videos. She told me this morning that she'll give me one gym day next week.

Yay! That's exciting! I hope you can get her into it too! I've tried with my hubby and it was a no go! Even several other guy friends have attempted to train with me but disappeared after a few weeks! Lol I'm hoping hubby will try again soon!

It's because you're a beast.

I have to be careful not to push her too hard at first. If I had been pushed as hard as I work out now I would've been intimidated.

Crushing the wait Thomas... nice job!

How did you like Meadows Rows with a band?
Click to expand...

It was just different. You can definitely feel the added tension as you go up. I think, somehow, just acing the band there makes me try harder. Of course the muscle-mind connection I've been having on Combustion helps too.

By the time I got to cable rows my lats were already destroyed. I actually could feel my biceps having to kick in a little more than usual.

Thanks bro!
 
Nice strong PR! Keep killing these sessions!

Looking good with the pr homie

Thanks Thomas!

I haven't opened y'all's logs yet because I'm going through some paper work for a court hearing tomorrow. I'll be sure to get in there at 0330. Hoping to kill arms tomorrow.
 
Tomorrow is a 'work day' at the hunting camp. I believe they want me to cut down a large oak tree.

Kiddo has recruited a couple friends to go ride ATV's in the woods tomorrow, too. Should be fun.... for them.

He has strapped my DeWalt radio charger to the back for stereo:

Drug Abatement Response Team. Several city departments meet to follow after SWAT raids a property. Today's wasn't too interesting. No craziness, but a few drug dealers were arrested and I condemned the property.

I am sure that can be pretty interesting at times!
 
Awesome day at the camp. Took down a tree, moved the camper to a more shaded area, and the boys ran the ATV's like crazy. Hopefully we can do this again soon.

Not sure how I missed that you were going camping! That's awesome! Sound like you guys had a blast and you got a good workout in cutting down a tree!
