    And here's the summary of my macros for the past 2.5 weeks (oops, meant to post this more often :( ). It feels like I've been eating a ton more than usual, yet magically I'm still 149 pounds. In part it was because I felt hungry, but I think part of it also was a futile attempt to make up for...

    Ah, ok, looks like I'm doing mostly main lifts then. The Stronglifts 5x5 program only did main lifts and did not have any accessory exercises, so I never did any accessory work. Good suggestion, though, that's probably why the lunges work so well to get my squat up! I'll definitely keep...

    I've never done 5/3/1, but I think it is similar in the sense that it's main purpose is to build strength. I'm not sure what you mean by main lifts, but the exercises I'm logging here is pretty much the only lifting that I do. I exercise mainly to gain muscle and look buff :) I started out with...

    I skipped my Monday workout and decided to sleep in a bit :) Wednesday - Workout A Squats - 157.5# - 5,5,5,5 (woot!) Press - 75# - 5,5,5,4,4 Pull ups (no jumping, yay!) - 2,2,2,2 I switched the barbell rows with the pull ups to cut some time off the A workouts.

    I figured out how to export my food log from Cronometer as a spreadsheet (yay!), so that should make it a lot easier to post my food summary here (so I'll be more rigorous about it, ;) ). So the format is going to change a bit, but it's still going to have the daily macros in it. I hope this is...

    Carnivore cult: ketogenic diet, and 5,3,1 log

    That omelette looks delicious! Too many carbs in one meal always make me really sluggish, too. High-carb meals for lunch at work basically kill my productivity for the rest of the day :(

    Thanks, wasme! Appreciate your support! Another day, another workout! I had to shift my workouts around a bit this week due to sleeping issues - ended up working out thursday and today. I actually felt really energized and motivated today, not entirely sure why, since I didn't sleep well/enough...

    Thanks, wasme! Wednesday - Workout B: Squats -135# - 5,5,5,5 Pull ups - 4,4,4,3 (no jumping up on the first rep of each set, woohoo!) Lunges - 86.5# - 8,8,8 These lunges made my legs sore again. I'm not sure if it's the number of reps or the weight. If you naively assume that one leg (lunges)...

    Yup, just muscle soreness. It was pretty much gone by Friday. I tried Hemavol once before, and experienced the same then, i.e. increased soreness. But my body seems to have gotten used to it, or the Synthagen is kicking in, or both. Also, the dosing for both: Hemavol - 1 tsp right before work...

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I was out of town over 4th of July weekend, and this week was pretty busy (Seether concert, yay!). I started taking a tsp of Hemavol before workouts on Monday (I have some single serve packs lying around), and I've noticed in the past that that stuff really...

    Thanks, TheMovement! I figured someday these details might be useful to someone (probably to myself, to remind myself what I did, lol).

    Thanks, Kat! I've been eyeing the Evomuse Ammo for a while now and have been wanting to try it. How can you tell that it's helping, do you feel better on it? Wednesday - Workout B: Squats: 135# - 5,5,5,5 Pull ups: 3,3,3,3 Lunges: 90# - 8,8,8 I'll probably slow down the weight increase on the...

    Thanks for your input, smike! I had been wondering if others were having the same problem with stronglifts, or if my body was just exceptionally slow to recover. Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one. One issue I'm dealing with that certainly doesn't help in this aspect is that I have...

    Thanks choccyswag! My legs are what inspired my screen name. The shoes are weight lifting shoes from Risto Sports. All leather, and most comfortable shoes I own. Wish they came in a normal work shoes edition, too!
