    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day for me, but I found out at the last minute that I was to be participating in the belt testing at a sister school to the dojo I attend. Obviously, I was a little nervous because of how little notice I had and the concern that they had been working on...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    Well crap. I was told last night that I'm supposed to be attending testing at our sister school tonight. I really hope they've been working the same things we have. Physically, I'm not nervous at all, but if they start doing katas or something like that, I might be in trouble. We've only...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    I'm changing up the schedule this week because I'll be doing some strength stuff with the little group that works out with me after karate on Tuesday. So, I lifted today, taking a light or totally off day tomorrow, then I should be rested up for Tuesday night. I did complexes again today...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    My workout was pretty light today...30 minutes of cardio, broke the heavy bag again, then went for 3.5 mile jog.

    Slin-Sane, creatine, something for the joints?

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    This morning's cardio was a beast, but I felt pretty good all the way through, considering. Nine move cardio circuit, 1 min. each, with a 1 min rest at the end. Side shuffle Side to side jumps Seated switch kicks Low-high punches with res. bands Bear crawl Push-up/Pull-up Weighted jump rope...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    Sounds pretty tough. Our belt review process takes up a week or two before the actual testing and that's where people tend to get eliminated, from what I hear. Most everyone who gets to the actual test passes, but they do everything they can to make you miserable. I've gotten to this point...

    HATED training fads (venting)

    Standing, crunching, whatever on bosu balls has to be my least favorite training fad. Ugh. Aside from that, I hate seeing people walk on treadmills for extended periods of time. This isn't a fad, but it's also something that pissed me off in the gym...I heard a group of women talking in the...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    Last night was karate and the instructor decided to be a hard-ass and make us do push-ups every time she saw someone who wasn't saying "Yes ma'am" when she spoke. So that pretty much sucked. Basically 10-25 slow push-ups every time, then a 1-2 minute hold in the low position and it happened a...

    Slowly, but surely.

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    I'm so sore today. Yesterday's workout was a tough one and I'm feeling it today, especially in my chest & shoulders. I did some moderate cardio this morning. Weighted jump rope, heavy bag and sit-ups for about 50 minutes.

    Prison Bodies from 100 Grams of Protein?

    That's plenty of protein to grow on. 1 gram/lb is WAY off, but everyone keeps quoting it. The original study that was based on referenced 1 gram/kilogram of body weight.

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    I was a little too busy to post, but I did get in some PM cardio on Thursday, then had a very nice work out Friday afternoon. Heavier weight or more reps across the board. I guess I'm doing *something* right.

    Sleep Aid

    Evening cardio works better than anything else I've tried.

    I don't know anything about 6-bromo, but I'll look it up.

    Stano-Drol and H-Drol

    I'm kind of leaning towards 2. I just wasn't sure which way to order it. I've been recomping for a bit now anyway, and I'm down to around 8-9% BF. If I could get to 6-7% at this weight in one cycle, I'd be superman.

    Would you stack or bridge them? If so, how?

    260 down to 180 up to 200

    Me at 190 lbs. Not sure if I should go up or down from here, or just stay the same. I'll never be a true body builder, but I do like looking (and being) strong, as long as I'm not giving up speed and endurance to do it. Invalid Link Removed

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    I'm feeling a bit toasty today, so I kept this morning's cardio kind of light. 30 minutes, average heart rate of about 155, 500 calories burnt. It's going to be a long work day, possibly all night, so if I need a break, there's a small chance I'll do some cardio again later. We'll see.
