    I definitely need to do more cardio. I was doing pretty good with running on the treadmill, until my lower back started hurting. I switched back over to the recumbent bike, and have been doing that for cardio, pretty much exclusively for the past couple months. The problem with repetitive motion...

    Well, yahoo! I racked that baby this morning! 290!!! I got in two reps, then couldn't get the third. Now I move on to the machine sitting behind it that has "295" written on it. -TT

    Now that my shipment has arrived... I started this evening with 2.5g argenine and 2g taurine. I'll do the same tomorrow morning, and see how that goes. The taurine is in pill form, but the arginine is powder. I mixed in the argenine with my CEE along with some crystal light lemonade to mask...

    Thanks Dutchman! I just ordered Argenine and Taurine about 2 days before my heart went nuts again. I still haven't received my order. Hopefully soon! I just doubled my fish oil intake to 2 grams per day. I picked up some Salmon oil at Costco the other night. Consumer Reports just did a...

    My heart seemed to stabilize once I started lifting. By the time I got to the doctor's office, it was beating with a normal rhythm, although a little fast (75 bpm). My blood pressure was great, like 112 / 72. In three weeks, I'll go in for all the blood work. I'm having him check my free...

    Started my cardio today only to find that my heart was unstable. I just did a quick 5 minute warmup, then went upstairs for my push day. My first set of chest press went just amazingly well. I decided to try and break my record. I'm still not using free weights for my chest press yet, but...

    Keeping the weight off has always been a struggle for me. It's really going to be a challenge for the next couple of weeks, as everybody at work brings in gobs of goodies. I always seem to stall out about a month into any weight loss attempt. I don't know if I just get sloppy, or if my...

    I pretty much did cardio the whole week. My back isn't bothering me anymore. The foot is not quite back to normal, but is doing pretty good. It only bothers me once in a while now. Today, for some odd reason, my hamstrings are aching. I'm not sure what's going on with them. They were fine...

    Starting Over

    I took a week off, to see if my back improves, and it has. I'm not sure if it was the foam roller I purchased, or my lack of cardio and core that made the improvement. Anyhow, the week has ended, and it's back to the gym tomorrow. I see my doctor in a couple of weeks. I'm disappointed he...

    They shut down all the Sams Clubs in our area. The closest one is like 30 miles away. I used to get a lot of my garden variety supplements there as well. With my birthday one week, and Thanksgiving the next, I didn't lose any more weight. For some odd reason, my lower back has been bothering...

    Currently, I'm taking 1 g per day of fish oil. I can double that, see how it goes, then triple it. I'll order up some Taurine and Arginine next time and see if that helps my heart beat like it's supposed to. There are some days it just "stumbles." Many thanks! Today I really pushed myself...

    Steakumm, I'm very interested to hear how this works out for you. Are you getting any big pumps during your workout? Also, if you start having any kind of lower back pain, post that too. There was an Epistane knock-off I tried a few years ago that caused my back or kidneys to ache. I never...

    Tuberman, that's really great information you posted. Thanks!! I used to down large quantities of arginine a few years back, in hopes it would stimulate GH production. Yeah, that is a lot of Taurine! The weigh-in on Sunday didn't go so well. I was up 1/4 pound. This has happened before...

    Alcohol, even in small quantities, really does a number on my heart. I have this crazy inherited atrial fibrillation thing, and alcohol triggers it like mad! My mom developed symptoms about 10 years ago and had a stroke because of it. Then 4 years ago, I was hospitalized for A-Fib myself, and...

    Back to pinning.... The main thing I learned about pinning (for me) was to make sure I applied pressure to the injection site for a minute or two, so I didn't wind up with bruising. Vitamin C with bioflavinoids was a big help too. Make sure you rotate your injection sites. Sometimes I wonder...

    No, I've never tried phenibut. It sounds familiar. I'll look it up. Thanks! No beef or chicken? What do you eat then? Turkey is my primary source of protein. What's great, is that I've literally eaten it every day for the past few years, and I still like it! In fact, I'm having it...

    Weigh-in today. I'm down another pound. That's 8 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm still on track. I've been soaking my injured foot all week, and it seems to be getting better. I put it in an ice chest filled with 110 degree salt water for 20 minutes in the morning, then 20 minutes in the evening...
