Strength - No observations today

Normal Energy - Relaxed and focused.
Appetite - Good again.
Recovery - No issues
Libido - Excellent.
Skin condition - Normal.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
Summary:
Only one thing in my mind on game day. Softball, softball, softball.
Slept really well and I was wound tight with energy. All my muscles were relaxed and I had no pain or soreness. Even after yesterday's day full of activities.
Appetite is returning to normal. Trend has been to hit calories around 2,000 to 2,200 calories. I ate a good amount of protein and carbs with very little amount of fat. Lots of chicken, grilled veggies, turkey wrap, lots of fruit and even a small frozen yogurt. And of course, a lot of RecoverPro.
The softball game started well and we were in control the entire game. We played as a team and made all the defensive plays. A lot of timely hitting and won a close game at 10 to 6. I went 3 for 3 with 2 shots to the gaps for a double and a triple. They tell me perhaps I should have had 2 triples. They don't know sh*t.
After the game, I went to the gym. I promised to do as much finishing work as I can. This means biceps, pull ups and abs. I am really starting to enjoy these, but they do take up time. May need to assess volume when done during lifting days.
Onto tomorrow.

I had every intention of going to the gym. When I got home I laid down for few moments with the expectation that I would be back up in 30 minuted. Well....I woke up in 3 hours. It eneded up being too late and instead of rushing out to the gym groggy, I called it a day.
I had about 2 1/2 hours of sleep and struggled all day. Work day went slow and drive home was a nightmare with traffic at every turn.
I had a big chicken salad for lunch, also had some hamburger patties, chicken, quinoa and lots of vegetables. the nutrition profile ended up looking very good.
Hopefully the rest will do me good.

Diet:

Workout:
Shoulders (19 sets), abs (6 sets), biceps (1 giant set), pull ups (5 sets)
Strength - Good, but could not go over max.
Workout Energy - Excellent energy.
Normal Energy - Felt much better, but some lingering effects stayed.
Appetite - Good.
Recovery - Major issues with elbow and wrist.
Libido - Excellent.
Skin condition - Normal.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
Summary:
Back to working out after a 1 day hiatus. Woke up with better energy and well rested. Too well rested. I felt sluggish from too much sleep. Couple hours of sluggishness and it started to wear off and the afternoon was much better. My appetite was good. I ate a Thanksgiving sandwich for lunch, lots of raw veggies again, couple hand sized steaks, some hamburger meat and quinoa.
No soreness during the day and libido was excellent.
It was a long day at work and I got out a bit late and got stuck in traffic. This tired me out a bit. When I got home I had to recharge to get my energy back up. My solution ? Dinner + BCAA. NO CAFFEINE. I have not had caffeine for about 2 weeks now and I feel great. Energy is clean and I had no crashed at any time.
Got to the gym with OK energy and I was hoping for my energy to build. Started off with shoulders and smith overhead press. First 3 sets went OK, but I did not feel as strong. Next set was with 225 lbs. I had lifted this weight many times for 8, but today it was a challenge. After the third rep, I felt my right elbow give a little and felt some pain, I pushed through for 2 more reps and felt pain in my left wrist. I trained with an injured list during the beginning part of this run, so I massaged it a bit hoping it would go away. I loaded 245 lbs on the bar. I had 3 more progressions to go, so I did not think 245 would give me problems. I felt good, but just could not push up on the bar. I got 3 reps and I had to stop. My wrist and elbow hurt but not more than anytime before training injured.
I went to bodymasters shoulders press to get more overload in. Got in 4 sets at a good weight. Finished with laterals, abs, biceps and pull ups and I was done.
My wrist and elbow were sore, but it wasn't too bad. Fast forwarding to Friday, the pain returned when I woke up next day.
Onto tomorrow.

Thanks runner !!!
I think I lost some size but better definition and separation definitely makes them look bigger.
Measurements all done. Pictures taken. Going to gym now and down to the beach again this afternoon. Interim Update #4 will be up tonight or sooner.

Hi Zach
I think your phone auto corrected. Did you mean I lost more lean mass than I should have ? If so, you are correct. But I did not exercise like I wanted to retain size either bordering over training. I exercise to lose size and was willing to sacrifice mass to lose weight and body fat with it.
I am OK going below to 195 then work on recomping at that point. If my weight loss significantly points towards muscle loss vs fat loss, of course I would need to reassess.
I will take your recommendation to heart though.
Right now energy is great, I feel leaner, I have retained strength mostly and I am not hungry or have annoying bloating. I also stopping sweating do much and confidence is through the roof.
You can't gauge how great I feel currently.
Thank you for continued support !!!

Day 31 (8/3)
Supplements:
1 cap Natty V with 2 caps of Recompadrol 30 minutes prior to meal
1 cap Natty V with 2 caps AAv2 90 minutes post meal
Upped dosing for lunch (cheat meal) to:
3 caps Natty V with 6 caps of Recompadrol with 3 caps AAv2 30 minutes prior to meal
Diet:
Calorie Normal (2,472 calories)
Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
Workout:
Chest (31 sets), abs (6 sets), biceps (1 giant set), pull ups (5 sets)
Strength - Good strength, but limited at max.
Workout Energy - Plenty of energy.
Normal Energy - Felt great all day.
Appetite - High.
Recovery - Issues with elbow and wrist continues.
Libido - Excellent.
Skin condition - Normal.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
Summary:
Strength continues to wane as wrist, elbow and now shoulder issues gets worse. More on this later.
Everyday good energy, high libido and normal skin condition has now become the norm Its what I expect to see and feel everday as things have gone smoothly for several days now. These are all good effects and definitely makes things each day better.
My appetite was high today. and after seeing Zach's post about cheat meal protocol, I wanted to try it. It involves taking all your capsules for the meal prior to the meal. It also involves upping the doses - Recomp to 6, AAV2 to 3 and Natty V to 3. My meal choice was fattening, bloating causing chinese food. Fried rice, fried eggs, short ribs and a funny bone snack cake for dessert. Damn, this was good. I enjoyed every bite of it. The picture I posted was the intended portion. I went for seconds of course. There was definite bloat immediately. However, it went away in about 30 minutes. If you have seen my updates, my weight did not go up either. In fact, it went down from friday to saturday. I don't cheat much on my diet, but this is good information to have. Oneanother thing of note. Zero gas since I started this stack. By the way, Zach recommends you take Vitamin B complex as well. I did not have any and it still worked out OK. If you are trying the cheat meal protocol, you should have some in hand. The diet for rest of the day was carb intensive. Lots of bananas, noodles, soup and vegetables.
When i went to the gym, Everything felt great initially. Today was my chest day + added staple ab, pull up and bicep routine. For 2 exercises, I failed at max effort and felt pain in my joints. Bench Press and Hammer Strength Chest Incline Press. On Hammer strength, I felt real pain during push up on my right elbow. It was painful enough for me to move my arms to a weird angle as I lifted. I think the slight shift in balance put pressure on my left wrist which was already hurting from yesterday. Finally, I felt some pulling on my left shoulder as well. Definite cause is over compensation to balance the weight while trying to deal with pain. It was tough enough for me to feel like i did not have enough strength today. I did OK on HS as i only fell by 1 rep on final exercise....but the pain build up made me fail miserably during bench press as i could not go past 315 lbs.
I am definitely considering deloading next week. Contemplating even skipping lifting totally for a week to give the joints a break. I will make up the time by doing cardio and abs, biceps and pull ups. One key note, the joint pains all stems from a wrist injury suffered while sliding into second base and the overcompensation that followed. This was chronicled earlier in this log.
Not optimal, but this maybe a good way to see how the stack does on cardio only without significant lifting.
Onto tomorrow.

Gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. Any measurement that was done could have some variability I guess, so you may have a point there.

Summary:
Another beach day looming on a beautiful saturday. What's on tap ? Atlantic city. Sorry, nothing exciting happened.
Got up and immediately went to the gym knowing we would be going to Atlantic City today. Atlantic City is interesting in that it used to be the mecca for gambling in the East Coast. Slowly their market share disappeared thru their own arrogance and neighboring states adopting gambling as a source of revenue. Today, competition has significantly hit Atlantic City and it's struggling to survive. What they are now trying to do is buld up real estate and improve beaches along the coast. I imagine it is their attempt to capitalize on one thing other states dont have. Beaches. I personally think it is too late and they waited too long to react. We shall see I guess.
Cardio at the gym was great. A lot of sweating and the pace was high. I burned 800+ calories. I went to do my ab rollers and biceps. finished those off and went to the pull up bar. 3 sets of 5 hammer grip pull ups were easy. For the last 2 sets, i changed the grip to wide grip. Those were hard, but manageable. I am really getting used to the pull ups and now liking it. the pump on your lats is like nothing else. I am glad I dropped the weight and are now able to do things like pull ups.
If you see above, i upped my recompadrol and AAV2 dose to 3. This is just for today. I knew food selection would not be great.
Ended up eating steak, bananas, quinoa, double cheeseburger without the buns, Japanese seafood udon noodle soup, and various desserts. I did not feel bloated all day. i think 2 should have been OK, but wanted to test out 3.
Nothing exciting at AC. Walked the boardwalk. Ate some food and people watched.
Onto tomorrow.

800 cals on the elliptical is no joke bro. Do you find the elliptical to be a pain for the first 5-10 minutes and then it's a breeze from there out? I personally love cardio now that I've been doing it for a while but it seems the first 5-10 mins bores me then I get in a zone. I wonder how many people have that same feelin about it?
