Thanks Pem!
First I am going to start with a first impression of Alpha T2 Targeted Fat Destroyer. Holy Crap! Talk about a thermogenic, this stuff had me pouring sweat from about the two and a half minute mark. I am not talking about the sweating like a good sweat. I mean sweating profusely. Typically while walking the treadmill I have to start wiping my brow about 20 minutes in about ever oh say 7 minutes or so do to sweating running down into my face. I was whiping sweat off of me starting at about 5 minutes in and by 25 minutes in I was wiping my entire head off every 2 minutes tops. It was running down my nose and dripping on the book I was reading.
While in review mode, I will tell you I saw two movies with the wife this weekend. One has been out for a while but if you have not seen Hot Tub Time Machine and were alive in the eighties you have not idea what you are missing. Now admittedly this movie is based on shock comedy so if you aren't into that then don't watch it. However if you don't mind a little grossness or Holy Sh*t type comedy and can let yourself go this one will be a gut buster for you. Next The loveley wife wanted to see Iron Man 2 on mothers day. I have to say that it was definitely better than the first. It had a better story which helped the intensity of the action scenes as to where the first one relied more heavily on action for it's big bang. If you liked the first you will not be let down by the second.
And still in review mode, HGHpro is the friggin BEEZ KNEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I will go ahead and tell you all what you already know, it helps the common man sleep well, okay not well, it gives you an amazing nights sleep. As well as great recomp and what not. Well my wife has insomnia pretty bad. She has a recurring refill prescription for her Ambian, and has for a while now. Well she hasn't had to toke her Ambien since getting on the HGHpro. She sleeps all night long, and I mean all night. Even with ambien she would wake up 4-5 times a night and have a hard time falling back asleep. Averaging maybe 3 hours of sleep a night on AMBIEN. So that should give you an idea of how great and deep of a sleep HGHpro is giving her. She is also getting a good bit of fat loss as well, she isn't trying to get big and is taking time off with me from lifting so we can both go back at it hard.
Now for the cardio, I bumped up intensity just a little by increasing the incline on the treadmill the levels go to 10 and I was walking at 3.2 mph and doing 2 minutes at 6 and 4 minutes at 9 alternating back and forth 45 minutes and 500 calories this time around. Yeah I know 3.2 doesn't sound to fast but I don't have the longest gate either… I will probably do 2 a days on cardio just walking, the walks at lunch are just my way of getting out of the office and relieving stress. Plus I get a lil sun which is always nice. I have slimmed up a little already. I lost weight over the weekend and last week but a good amount of this was due to not taking a preworkout so I had not creatine. Although I remedied that this morning.
Injury Report, well at the walkathon I was carrying around a Liter bottle of water just letting it hang from the lip at the top of the bottle between my middle and index finger and about 10 minutes in my tendon started to hurt. That means it is a little worse off than I thought. Due to this I am going to go ahead and say that only my legs will be started back up on the 5-24-10 and my my upper body straight arm movements will start on or around June 7th and doing work with bent arms hopefully by 6-7-10 I will be good to go with some light bent arm exercises. Six weeks seems to be the magic number for tendon injuries. After that a break in period then BOOM it is on suckaz!!!! Smeton made a great point that I will make a lot better progress if I just let this heal instead of working around it. I have made a lot of gains this year only to see them diminish every 6-8 weeks when this flairs up and I have to back off and try to train around it. This whole 2 steps forward 1.5 steps back thing is just not going to cut it anymore. So a full recovery is my biggest concern. My quad is feeling great, my back is feeling somewhat better. I will probably go to the chiro now that it isn't so tender that I feel it can be worked on. That or schedule a deep massage this week. So now that I am in recoverymode I am going to work towards a slow cut. I don't want to lose too much too fast since I won't be building that much. Not too worried about the size thing, I will get it all back very quickly.
okey:
