Well, after a great long weekend with family and LOTS of food, we're back to our regularly scheduled program. I enjoyed it all - ribs, grilled chicken thighs, cheeseburgers, cupcakes, beer. Don't feel bad about it in the least!
Now I will need to tighten things up on this short week, as I also didn't workout over the past 3 days. So to make up for it I ran 2 miles (moving up to 2 miles the remainder of this week) and got in a good chest workout. Have 2 weeks left until the date I've set my goal of running this 5k. BTW, don't think I ever shared a pic of the dope medal!
Weight is back up 2.2# on the scale.
Also thinking about doing the MURPH challenge. Redcon1 is hosting an event and you can also do it virtually, but I would need to rig up a weighted vest to train in by end of June. View attachment 205366View attachment 205367
Surprisingly didn't take many food pics. I think I might have one of me grilling up two packs of chicken thighs though, lol.I want to see those foodz noodz, brah.
Thanks! I'm probably cutting my self short setting this 5k date, but honestly I'm mostly doing it to help cap off this cutting phase which will be 12 weeks when all said and done. So it'll be time for a change.big congrats for completing 2 miles...going farther and faster is like increasing weight on bench press, it will take some work and dedication after initial noobie gains....pulling for you-you can do it!!!

Another 2 miler in the books, followed by a quick back circuit workout. I woke up feeling sore and not quite awake this AM, so I knew today would be tough. Slowed pace intentionally again and hoping my body will adapt this week to the endurance running. Wish I had some Peak02. Felt it a lot in my glutes today. 400 total cals burned.
Reupped on some CLA and picked up some ALA to see if that helps my hand/forearm.

I'm not sure what's going on in here, but let's keep it going!take the world in a love embrace

try taking a day and just run sprints, then walk run sprints then repeat...this helps my overall time for running distance running-but beware, very taxing workout.I'm not sure what's going on in here, but let's keep it going!
Hit an 8:23 minute mile this morning, focusing on speed. 3rd fastest time I've recorded. Now, I stopped at 1 mile since I had a leg workout on deck afterwards, but was a way to change things up.
Burned 393 cals this morning!
By taking a day, you meant day off, right??try taking a day and just run sprints, then walk run sprints then repeat...this helps my overall time for running distance running-but beware, very taxing workout.
Love it, keep us posted on how you're liking! Yeah, I didn't want any unnecessary dyes, etc. also, a couple things in there - the grains of paradise is another one that's actually really hard to mask - just opening a container of GOP in a room can get people coughing...may be the bitter part you're experiencing. The PeakO2 is really earthy.Couldn't wait to open my All Out Sweat Edition, Blue Hawaiian, so cracked the tub this morning for a taste test! Here's a quick review:
As you can see from the pictures, the only thing blue about it is the label (and my shaker cup lid)! This was a bit surprising. Flavor was strongly pineapple and coconut, with the two lingering and switching depending on the sip of what flavor was more present. You do occasionally get a bitter bit, either from the bioperine or I'm assuming the Peak02 as I've heard that can be hard to mask. But overall, the flavor is refreshing and tropical, like a fruity beach drink. I'd probably give it a 4 out of 5 on flavor. I tried this pre-run today, so can't really comment on effects. Since I sweat a ton when I run, I didn't notice more than usual here with the proGBB inclusion. Also, while Peak02 should help endurance, I believe this needs to be consumed daily to get those effects. Looking forward to including this in my rotation though, and will likely use this daily for workouts beginning next week.
Today's workout update:
It was a hard fought battle this morning to get through my morning run. I went the other direction on the nature trail this morning and I encountered more of a steep uphill climb in this direction IMO. I'll probably switch back for Friday, but long story short my cardio breathing and legs just weren't holding up as well today. Particularly a struggle once I hit the 2 mile mark. Slower pace overall, but got through it and continued to go farther than I will need to on my "official" race day.

Thanks Chef!Nice little review you have there.
Haha right?!? It really does taste like that shizzzz. Took me back to my childhood when my grandma would take me to Toys R Us and buy me legos and a pack of Fruit Stripe. Too bad the gum only lasted like 10 seconds lmaoAnother solid session in the books this morning! Chest workout fun. Cracked my tub of Cali Splash Total War (yes, I probably have enough flavors to do a different one each day of the week for a month, lol). This was the Gold's Gym exclusive when it first launched. @ZOO agree that it tastes like Fruit Stripe gum! Haven't had that stuff in years though!

That shrimp and cheddar looks soooo good!Just a little food porn for your viewing pleasure! Here's the Father's Day dim sum meal we had along with a caramel & chocolate coated apple from a local candy shoppe.

Post-race, I decided to carb up with some chocolate chip pancakes, bananas, and dark chocolate chips, topped with ADNB Going Bananas Cashew Butter. This was definitely a treat! Also broke into the My Cookie Dealer Smore-Os cookie.

Haha, thanks! I held off on a lot of that type of stuff for the past 12-14 weeks or so... not all of it was my cooking I'll admit.I don’t know how the heck you made that cut given your culinary skills, lol. Looking swole at 150ish lbs.
Moar food porn!!!
Looking pretty lean with some big arms, man! Keep up the good work.Haha, thanks! I held off on a lot of that type of stuff for the past 12-14 weeks or so... not all of it was my cooking I'll admit.

Thanks brother.Looking pretty lean with some big arms, man! Keep up the good work.
And my gosh does that s’mores look delish!
Looks like youve been really getting some great results, keep it up brother!
Thanks fellas!Nice progress homie! Looking lean!
If you think its prolactin related, I think you're be very happy with Inhibit-P.Thanks fellas!
Had a great 4th of July. Caught up with one of my oldest friends and had the kids meet and play together. 5 kids all under the age of 6, could've been a lot more hectic than it was!
So, 2 weeks on my current stack and I'm starting to get some aggravated sides from preexisting issues. Itchy left nip, some mild aggression. Thinking about starting @sns8778 Inhibit-P and/or an AI for the remaining 4 weeks (already on Inhibit-E) and running AI low dose post. Thoughts?
Thanks Kat!Incredible work!! You’re looking great! Good pics look good too!
Marshmallow- that made me laugh!Thanks Kat!
Went for my first run since my 5k about 2.5 weeks ago. Surprisingly kept my pace up! Went only about ~1.75 miles, but that's about where I'm going to keep things from here on (2 mi max). So 1-2x per week running/cardio and ab sessions. Not looking to become a total marshmallow on this bulk!

DB hammer curls x Close grip BP
