Lemon Pepper chicken? Man I bought one of those Power Pressure Cookers, I love that thing I can get the same or better results of slow cooking in a slow cooker 4 lbs of chicken breast in a total of 25 minutes in that thing. Pressure cookers are fricken awesome and you can cook directly from frozen without it messing with the meat up or making it chewey. Lost of pressure pushes all the juices and seasons inside the meat it is just awesome. Made a pork loin in it that was to die for.

Oh yah man, pressure cooking is ****ing awesome.

Nah just chicken and some seasonings haha. I just throw some **** on there and call it good. :)
 
PS everyone, I got my thyroid test back and it is completely normal.

Not even possible for a mis diagnosis haha.

After getting that back, I am going to try this trazadone and see if it helps, if not, I will look into Ambien because I believe I just can't shut my brain off.

I'd attribute it to my ADD.

I need to look into the mechanics of trazadone and see if it is similar to Ambien and then go from there.

No it is not similar to Ambien, it is a anti-depressant however it will help with calming your mind to shut it off at night. I have ADHD myself but am lucky and can fall asleep pretty easy. My mind races all day so normally at bedtime it is done. That or I read something that is not interesting to me and BOOM I am out.

My wife had to take it for insomnia or I think it is the same one "Oleptro" or something and it helped but it also lowered blood pressure and she already has low bp so she ended up off of it but it did stop her mind from racing. She would actually get anxious about not being able to sleep which would obviously make her not fall asleep since anxiety is a very stimulating emotion/state of mind.

Yah. I have taken online tests and they all point towards Narcolepsy or Insomnia.

Since my levels are good, I am going to try and take one tonight and see how I sleep.

I am hoping it makes a big enough difference that I can get out of my chronic fatigue slump.

Chronic Fatigue is my next guess if this stuff doesn't help.

Are you taking any magnesium before bed? That can help a lot. Not only good for sleep but for the CNS.

No I am not. I'll have to look into that as well.

Magnesium really helps me sleep, and it seems the magnesium with zinc works better.

Hmmmm I wonder why, I need to read up on some of these basic chemicals Lol.
 
Update!

Sorry there is no video today as promised, I'm slacking a little but mostly tired as **** because of drill!

**** I'm tired... Going to give that trazadone a try tonight.

BUT I CAN SAY THE1 IS HERE!!!
It might amplify more in the future weeks but today (even though I am exhausted...) my Dumbell curls went up 10 lbs (single arm) my triceps extensions went up 20 lbs.

Insane focus in the gym. It's like I was commanding my muscles what to do..

**** yah it was awesome.

I probably had some pent up anger from drill this weekend but I know THE1 is here for a while, I can't wait to see how the whole cycle plays out. Will be adding in DermaFURY later on in the cycle (as a bridge) and I should be closing up my cycle a week or two before my cruise.

Hmm. Now that I think about it, what is the best way to take my Nolvadex with me?

We are flying to Florida and then going on the cruise.

How's the libido on The1?

Actually really good! It's when going up higher than normal.

Could bone, would bone, all the time if i had a equally horny partner!

LOL. I'm looking for something to run with DMZ in a few months to fight lethargy and help libido. Work a lot of hours and got a horny wife!!!
 
Dma378 said:
Indeed. So would you recommend?
Click to expand...
So far, yes.

I literally think it's either keeping me sane through these days of no sleep OR its adding to the problem.

Either way, my lifts went up last session and I'm sleeping like a bag of ****...
Dma378 said:
Yeah just want to keep it dry.
Click to expand...
It's a good dry compound. I've noticed that all bloat and water is due to my diet.

Striations are visible in my chest and, shoulders, and occasionally my biceps.

Last goal is cutting down this belly.

Depending on meal timing and what I eat, I can see 4 abs.

Getting closer. :D

DMZ
Derma Fury
Trest - Test

Sounds like a good cycle! Oh wait, that's my cycle! Lol

I would love to run Tr3st and Test and a little DMZ for bulking this winter.

Would be amazing!
 
Dma378 said:
Thanks. Got in here a little late, trying to catch up and gather some details. I know you're having some sleep issues. Do you feel it's from The1, or have you always had them?
Click to expand...
I've always had them.

I highly doubt it's a problem created by THE1.
 
It's time for a mother ****ing update!!!

Looking way bigger!!

Feeling way bigger!!

It's funny, I went to the career fair today and I had 5 people asked me if I played football for the college team Lol.

I must be looking stacked.

Sorry I've been of the radar a little bit, I have been battling some insomnia.

No I don't think it has anything to do with THE1. It has more to do with the Army and other things. I've had it for a long time.

Today I woke up feeling like ****, cause I slept like ****, and went on my normal day, ****ING tired...

Went to the career fair, locked down like 7 interviews and more job offers.

I am ready for graduation.

Now to the better part of my day. I came home, ate a little food, and passed the **** out. Only like a hour but I woke up feeling so much better.

That little bit of sleep made me feel so much better.

I went to the gym and MURDERED THAT SHIIIIIIT!!!

Dumbell Flat Bench
80 x 12
80 x 15
80 x 20

Dumbell incline Bench
80 x 12
80 x 15
80 x 20

Dumbell Flat Bench Flyes
50 x 12
50 x 12
50 x 12

Then it gets interesting.. My Navy Seal buddy comes in and says, hey let's do the 135 x 200.

So I say, yah let's do it.

We did that in 15 sets.

Then proceeded to do..

Tricep Pull-downs
100 x 12
100 x 12
100 x 12

Dumbell Shrugs

75 till failure
75 till failure
75 till failure

It was such a glorious workout after feeling like **** this whole week.

I apologize for taking a little time off of AM but don't worry, I have still been working out and recording my lifts, diet, pictures, etc.

If all goes well and I sleep ok tonight and get a nap in tomorrow I WILL make a video!

TAGGER ****ING OUT!

PS ima get some tang tonight cause I am in a great mood.
 
Go deep or go home!

Video Log #6 :D

Olympus Labs here's another one for the playlist!
 
It's funny how you can be so drained from lack of sleep until you hit the gym it's like a switch is flipped.
 
I hope you sleep well tonight. A killer workout followed by ZMA and melatonin should knock you out pretty good. You had me laughing with your dream stories though!! Lol
