Thomas' Formutech Endurance BCAA's PLUS log

Friday was Back and Legs. The WO was so-so. I got a horrible headache on my first set of pull-ups, so I ended up taking a break and finishing later with no pull-ups. 50# lawnmowers to max instead. Caffeine overload maybe?

Saturday was Kenpo X. 5# weights on almost every upper body block/punch; 10#'s on elbow series, horse stance blocks, star blocks, vertical punches (100, then 5's for another 30), and a couple of others. I had amazing energy and no headache, thank God!

Today is Stretch/Rest day, but I did Ab Ripper X and the first half of Yoga. I took in no stims today. By the time I got home from church and started it was 11, so I skipped Endurance and OxyECA, and just ate immediately after exercising. Did a lot the last two weeks so I didn't want to make myself want to do any lifting.
Today's calories: LOL....

Good bro. I just finished my workout for the day. I have quite a bit of homewrok due by midnight, so I really shouldn't be on these forums.
 
I like that, "Today's calories: LOL...."

I felt like that the entire time the wife and baby were in the hospital these last few days. Me and my 2 oldest were living off of take out.
 
Oh, that Endurance is outstanding by the way. I am dying to try that orange flavor. Have they picked winners on the Fbook promo?

I have made Formutech BCAA's a staple in my arsenal. I can't just drink the regular BCAA's anymore, even with great value drink mix. I can use a 1/4 scoop of Formutech, then however much bulk BCAA's, repeat several times a day for my intermittent fasting protocol. Perfect.

My rep order is coming tomorrow. I'm hoping I have an orange flavored surprise in there!
 
I knocked out P90X Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps; then did a second chest exercise before starting P90X. I'm stuck at home today so I did the best I could with the stuff I have here.

That second wind/pump is amazing. For anyone who is using only one scoop a day like I did initially, you're missing out. I look HUGE mid-workout. I'll do update pics on my last day; one set pre-WO and one set mid/post-WO. I have 7 (I think) weeks of P90X left and then I'm starting a bulk cycle. I think I'll get the orange flavor for that.
 
I took one scoop at 3 pm, prior to doing Plyometrics. I completed more today of that exercise than I have since starting p90x. The only time I paused it was to help kiddo with a math Q on his homework. All this was after gutting two apartment bathrooms to the plumbing. That can wear you out if you've ever done it.

On a different note, I got offered a job today! I won't start for a little while but it beats what I've been doing.

Weight holding at 188.0

1/2 scoop Endurance @ 6:00, then another 1/2 during a short lift before work:
Invalid Link Removed
OxyECA Black taken @ 6:45
I was called and told not to head to the job until 9 so I knocked out p90x back & biceps. I also took a 2nd Endurance scoop during B&B.
Every back exercise was up from last weeks. My biceps went down, but fatigue started kicking in from the Bi's pre-WO.
Invalid Link Removed

The work I did today was weed eating/hedging for a friends landscaping business. My energy level and my biceps held strong all day. I forgot to take my vitamin bag to work so I did not take a second OxyECA Black. It's now after 3 and I'm not brave enough to take one now.

The wife wants to take the boat out Friday if its not raining, so I may be doubling up the p90x WO's tomorrow.

I'd still take it out. Heck, I tried for a few years to get my wife to warm up to the idea of moving to Alaska. It's a no-go though. :/

I'm with her. This spring has sucked, we had more 60 degree days in December, than we have had this year. I'm ready for Summer

That's fair. I'd probably sing a different tune if I were there.
Alaska just looks pretty on TV.

1. Did you double up on bicep workouts?
2. You don't have to double up. just wake up earlier.

I was up at 5. Good enough for my schedule, and I enjoy my morning with my wife. The extra bicep WO was done while talking with Mischelle and watching the news. :)

Lol my wife would probably just tease me til I just sat down
 
I got off early because some a**hole complained that I was making too much noise and he works nights. Fortunately, that gave me time for a short WO before picking up the kiddo and doing Yoga X.
One scoop Endurance chugged on the way.... Wasn't feeling it on the DB presses; I stopped myself 2 reps short of what I could've but I let a small arm shake scare me.
After that though I had a crazy pump!!

Chest:
Push-ups x30
DB press: 80x11, 90x6, 80x9, 70x9
-----------
SuperSet-
Overhead (rope) cable Tricep press:
120x13, 140x6, 120x9
Close grip BB press:
145x7, 135x9, 115x9
-----------
SuperSet-
DB Incline Fly:
45x10, x7, 40x10

Cable lower chest raise:
50x12, x8, 45x10
----------
SuperSet 3:
Cable kickbacks: sets a=1, b=2, c=3
***palm back: a) 27.5x8 b) 25x8 c) 17.5x10
***palm forward: a)22.5x5 b) 20x5-r/4-l c) 17.5x2

Alternating one arm push-up with medi ball support:
a) x6 total alternating
b) x5left/x5right
c) same as C
 
Just finished the first half of Yoga X. It's tough enough already, but after doing Chest/Tri's it's a killer. I know you don't know what I mean if you haven't done Yoga before... but pretty much live with all your weight on your arms or in a lunge.
 
Side Note: On my last exercise log I meant *Same as B*, not C.
 
nice work man and congrats on the job,now u can get more endurance!!! lol and send me some im broke!! lol

Thanks! I'm filling out paperwork Monday!!

Lol. I DO get more endurance. :) After this tub I won't be using it again until the second week of May when I start a bulk. Also, I don't know if I should with an upcoming preWO log. Endurance gives me pump and I don't want it to interfere.
 
My wife was sleeping, but I was ready to knock out my exercise. So, I went to the gym to do Legs and Back instead if p90x. I enjoyed the change up. Ill have to do Ab ripper later.

Treadmill:
One min each: 3.7, 6, 6.5, 7, 3.7

SuperSet 1:
Leg Press: (w/u: 180x??? Slow reps) 360x10, 450x11, 540x1 + 540x5 (WTF!!!!?? Damn you, p90x!! Way light!), 450x10, 360x15
FWIW, my ROM is perfect.

Chin-up/pull-up (alternating): x7, x5+1, 5, x6, x5, x5
-------
SS 2:
Calves on leg press machine:
Straight 630x12, toes in 630x11, toes out 630x15
*These sets with the nest exercise, not mowers* 720: str x9, out x10, in x10

Lawnmowers: 80x10, 90x7, 80x10
-------
ISO close grip pull downs:
270x12, 360x5, 320x7, 270x9, 180 alternating x15 each
-------
Close grip pull-ups with row bar done in between the last 3 sets of ISO pull downs.
x7, x6, x5

Last: Chin-ups x3

I haven't been at the gym much since starting p90x, but people who would say hello to me before were somewhat mean-mugging me. Mostly the out of shape or same-routine guys. WTF is up with that? I lose a little fat and all of a sudden you're a cawk???

Ha. Punk ass biatches in the gym. That is why I don't like going to the big gym on main post. I prefer the Ranger Gym, where we are all close and nobody really gives a fuk.

Yeah it gets annoying. Here I'm trying to do 10x10s with 30 sec or less rest, and I have people telling me that I should only be on a machine for a few minutes.
 
I only have about 3 scoops left but I'm not sure if ill take any this weekend. I'm coming down with something... I feel like I forced calories in yesterday all day long, but I ended up between 1100-1300 for the day. My weight yesterday was 187.4, and today it is 183.6
Some of that is sodium loss after running out of Easter leftovers, but some is my extremely empty stomach.

Anyway, I have to participate in a 5K walk this morning for my wife's job and we'll see how I feel later. If I'm feeling worse it may be a stim/workout free weekend.

Feel better dude! Have a scoop before your walk!
 
Still taking a break. Coughing up phlem today so whatever I had, is leaving. I *may* take a scoop with me during church....

I wasn't totally lazy this weekend. I built a second chicken coop Friday, walked all over Jax Beach yesterday, and today I'm replacing my moms well-pump. Still burning cals.
Invalid Link Removed

Yesterday I ate a salad. And wings... about 25 all day. And fries. And cole slaw. It was heaven.

Today's weight is back to 188.4, pre-BM and post coffee.

Sounds like a mixed adventure weekend. Nice coop!
 
Thanks!
 
It looks like we'll be doing Chest and Bi's, with dead lifts in there somewhere, and then Yoga X this afternoon. DrewSicle is all jacked up, he might ask me to do something else too.

Today I will be consuming my last two scoops of Endurance. :(
I will need it after taking the whole weekend off and feeling crummy. Not to mention my legs are still a little sore from Friday.

I will post my workouts later. Alright Endurance, lets do this!

Took a couple post WO pics, will take normal pics later after my pump subsides to compare it to. Man, I would have stayed in the gym for two more hours if I could! I have to get ready for my drug screen and stuff. Hopefully there is nothing in endurance that will flag me. (Jk)
 
And measurements tomorrow AM.
1) Gotta stay consistent with measurements.
2) I'm still bloated from being sick/diarrhea. #TMI
 
Ha. Yeah, we shouldn't do anymore than what we planned. I don't want to push my body to injury


Progress is my motivation...
I'm not done yet....

I skipped 2 exercises and only did 2 sets of the last two ex's, and was still there forever. I also did cardio warmup and about 5-6 mins of stretching, plus stomach issues X2.
