Comments:
Didn't have the energy in me. I had a banana + WPI shake beforehand, but not many carbs at breakfast. My grip was going on me, and my back started hurting so I knew my form was going downhill so I didn't push it to 10 sets. No HIIT cardio afterwards b/c my foot is sore, I should stop running around to class.

Ran to volunteering & back (20 mins), so a bit of cardio. Not much else to note.

Comments:
Wasn't too focused in the gym b/c I was worrying about getting my med school app in by 4:30. I edited it abit, but there's probably some spelling mistakes in there. Anyways I got it done, now I've got to see where I get interviews.

Not much aggression today, but that was due to my head being elsewhere. Libido is a bit up I've noticed lately. Scalp hasn't been bothering me much lately, showering daily after my workouts prevents any sweat buildup which really irritates my skin (and showers= good).

Some food for though; I'd post more but it's mostly omelets, porridge, chicken fingers, wraps, the usual. You can smell the chicken ceasar a mile away; 3 cloves of garlic and lots of pepper!

Wed Oct 2nd

HIIT Cardio

Comments:
Was supposed to be an off-day, but 15 minutes in the gym won't kill me. I had some BCAA's/Swell PWO, then had a Protein Blend + 2g CLA + 2 mL Sesamin + 10g Coconut Oil. I read a while back something by Marc McDougal where he suggested no carbs after a HIIT session to burn more fat. Does it work, who knows lol.

Weight was 171.5 today, and that wasn't with a big meal or anything before which was nice to see. The weight is piling on nicely :thumbsup: HIIT was solid today, considering I still had some meat digesting in my stomach and didn't have too many carbs beforehand. Almost out of T-Force, got a fair bit of T-Rez and maybe 10 days worth of Divanil (I had my extra bottle). Anyways I'll weigh in on Saturday/Sunday.

Bloodwork:
Back in the spring I had my #'s done, and had a physical last week.
Total Test: 32 --> 28 (Ref 8-30) -14%
Free Test: 46 --> 62 (Ref 21-103) +35%

I know there's variations and the 1st drawing was from a while back, but it seems to make sense. My free has risen, and caused a bit of a feedback to lower total. I like the big boost in free test :thumbsup:

Naw, I have been taking straight mini-scoops with my Xtend scooper. It melts in your mouth and is f'in amazing! I can't believe I ate 3 lbs in 4 week.
Other bulk items:
6.5 lbs Pistachios in 4 weeks.
10 lbs Oat Bran
7 lbs Steel-Cut Oats
3 lbs of Frozen Rasberries
4L of milk (Alot considering I only use it in omelets and tea lol)
454g of Unrefined Coconut Oil

I can't imagine the sheer amount of vegetables, I know atleast 15 lbs of frozen.

Insane gym day, 2 scoops and JP8 and I was flying. ANyways I`m in between class, gotta run. Update this evening.

Comments:
Haven't taken my JP8 in a while, so 6:30 I rolled out of bed and down 2 scoops JP8, 20g WPI, 15 WMS. Gym 30 minutes later. After 80 minutes I finished my dips and was starting to feel hypoglycemic and nauseous both at once; I was pushing myself waaay to hard this morning. I didn't feel the initial nausea I usually get by just taking the JP8 without water, almost no taste that way too.

Weights were awesome, bumped up most of them. Kept going back for 2 more reps at the end, which JP8 always does for me. I just tell myself 2 more, 2 more. GOing to be sore tomorrow! And I've had an insane appetite all day from such an intense workout. Here's my food from 6:30-3:00. Biggest one was oats + WPI + berries PWO. Then 2 pre-made omeletes, my homemade meatloaf, carrots, and some chicken. Still starving, ate my whole monster omelet that I usually split in half for dinner, and then had a tablespoon of olive oil to try and feel full, didn't work lol. I'm as hungry as I get on my deadlift + HIIT days!
