804 Time to blow up USP/PES

[804]

So I was an idiot and went out last night for my buddy's birthday.. ended up staying out til 5am at an afterhours club downtown. drank way too much (I rarely drink). Took carboxy, fish oil, fiber, and a baby aspirin before bed (6am) slept til about 2. Woke up feeling like a million bucks.. So I'm gonna try and hit heavy legs today. Just shocked I have motivation for this. Stim time.

Slept all day, though

I feel like I'm seeing alot of improvement on deads because I did them for the first time about 6 months ago. I never used to do legs often, and when I did I had horrible form. Doing legs, and doing them often and correctly has made me an anabolic machine. I was wasting my time before I did legs

 

[804]

So I had to push chest day back until tomorrow. I had that same issue yesterday with my elbow pain.. just relaxing and it happened. been irritated all Fck!ng day too... Really makes me mad because I've been doing so well lately in the gym.. the last thing I want to do is take steps back.. there always seems to be something to trip me up.. Seriously feels like a bone spur stuck underneath my Brachioradialis muscle, so that when I extend my arm the muscle is being compressed against a sharp object from beneath. So painful. I've tried Icing, anti-inflammatories, and an at-home shock therapy machine. God this sh!t sucks... Hoping it feels moderately better tomorrow. There is NOTHING I hate more than missing my workouts.

Only good thing that happened today is my ABE came in for my next phase along with Protean RVC and other goodies...

Sorry to hear about your elbow man; that's a tough spot to be in. I can't stand missing a workout either, but the last thing you want is to make it worse and be sidelined for a while. Be careful bud, and hopefully things will improve quickly.

 

[joh408]

Be careful with that injury man. I strained my brachioradialis a few years back in a game and after the adrenaline wore off that was one of the worst acute pains I've felt. Thought I popped my elbow out of place the pain was so bad when I straightened it. Took awhile to feel back to normal again but that may be because I was still trying to lift (with poor results) and I still played in games since it was playoffs

Thanks Guys. I think I'm just gonna have a Leg "week" this week. Try and keep from worsening it. Although the shock massage thing I have was kinda cool. Really fast twitching contractions. Seems somewhat better now. Sleep is probably best. Popped some 1-carboxy and some Cissus XT - Time for rest. Tomorrow is another day.

 

[bolt10]

Take care man and good luck with a quick recovery and turnaround.

Glad to hear it buddy!

 

[804]

Glad to hear it buddy!

Thanks man! So glad I can workout today! Probably going to take it easy! Also, I switched from USPowders bulk cissus to SNS cissus XT - Wow on day two and I already notice less joint discomfort in my knees and elbows. I opened up a capsule and the SNS is a completely different color too.. lol.

 

[classic34]

Glad to hear you're back in action 804!

 

[804]

Had it tweak out 2 times during chest workout, but I manned up and finished the workout. Headed out for Bday dinner at Texas de Brazil- Premium all you can eat steakhouse- Loading up on some filet mignons

Happy birthday! Sounds like it'll be an epic feeding.

Thanks Bros - its actually on Sunday! It was rather Epic. I Thought about it.. probably 150g worth of protein between all of the bacon wrapped chicken, bacon wrapped filet mignon, flank steak, garlic picanha, and top sirloin... Matter of fact, the only non-meat thing I had was lobster bisque soup. I will sleep like a baby tonight

Like I said: the elbow tweaked a little bit during the exercises, but this was probably due to so much muscle massage in the past couple of days from the injury. My left elbow felt really weak. So I am going to mix it up for the remainder of the week and throw in a legs day today(Wed) and a core/ cardio day tomorrow. Friday I will plan on doing back/ shoulders if I feel comfortable enough.

[classic34]

I am totally getting some cccd Quest bars soon. Everyone has been raving about them...

That's too bad that your elbow is still giving you problems. At least you can sort of work around it.

 

[breezy11]

They are beyond amazing. I'm addicted


804, that's an awesome deal you got man. I can't believe they taste that good either; it's ridiculous. Put one in the microwave for ~12 seconds and your head might explode

Glad you got your workout in. Be careful with that elbow bud.

 

[804]

Thanks y'all! I an going to need like 10 boxes for my upcoming cut! I will definitely try microwaving them today!

Trying to be careful with the elbow. You guys should see the contraption I put on it when I sleep (It rolls the tendon over often when I'm sleeping in an awkward position) - I wrap a pillow around my arm with a belt on it to keep my arm reasonably straight.. hahaha

 

[bean5er]

Solid wo 804! I really hope that elbow gets better bud.

I'm dying to dip into the boxes of quest bars I have coming. Only 6 more weeks of prep then it's on quest bar ice cream (after seeing breezys recipe).

Have a great weekend 804

Solid workout as always brother. Are you keeping the log going through the next stack?

I like the feeding window, but would suggest fasted workouts if possible. Alphamine before fasted training is a recipe for success when cutting . If you can't pull it off, your plan looks good as well :thumbsup:

 

[classic34]

Solid wo 804! I really hope that elbow gets better bud.

Woah...wait a minute...Vanilla whey + almond milk + an ice cream maker followed by chunked up cccd quest bar. Oh my...I must try it.

It's amazing. I add Greek yogurt though (and don't have an ice cream maker).
