I've lost all the flab I put on in my week of debauchery, looking forward to tomorrows feasting Bring on the empty carbs !!!!! as an aside I am also bring protein powder so all those carbs can drive it into my muscles.....I am practical even in my impracticality

Ur gonna drink some protein with ur meal? Or how r u planning on doing this? I'll probably follow suit.. Lemme know!

50grams of whey first then drop all those lovely simple sugars on top to drive it home lol
 
chedapalooza said:
Should I do just
Whey or my recover pro Aminos?? Or both?

donno what truth has to say, but I think as long as you get in your 3g or so of Luecine and ENOUGH protein before the sugars are digested your body will try to partition more of the nutrients towards growing more muscle. Call it bro science but I think that makes the most sense..

That's pretty much the way it works to my understanding. Just the whey should be sufficient but if you have the aminos too why not???

So many good sales in the coming months (nutra's year end sale is amazing too).. I gotta save save save. I dono why I said that... I guess because I want to buy everything... lol.

On something more related to this thread (haha!), my workouts are slowly going toward high rep now. I have always responded best to higher rep, slower controlled sets. Could be my muscle composition is more for static than it is for generating fast twitch. So I will go back through this thread and see what you do again ;)

I try to stick with a lower volume workout, but the volume just seems to creep it. I try to mix it up a bit. I like to have at least a couple sets in each group where I use a weight that I can only manage 5-6 reps. I do seem to get better results from the slower more controlled workouts and I have read over and over that time under tension was the main factor in muscle growth and explosive movement was more for power. The the other day I read that you should use explosive movement on the positive to hit the fast twitch and slow and controlled movement on the negative for the slow twitch. I give up, I say do what feels right and works for you as all people are different

Yea, some ppl can get huge buy doing 4-6 reps only. And remain lean. I donno, I think it's whatever you can do that will cause your body to change. So if you find you need to focus to get into lifting whatever it is your body requires for growth then use some high rep stuff so you can get into the zone. If you can just hit it hard and fast, then the lower rep ranges is enough. But all in all... its up to the individual... haha, the hardest most complex thing of all.

Not sure if there will be a rapid response with the Urso....that being said I am doing the same thing :) Volume may be a little high but seems pretty close to what I do on back day....I have trouble reigning myself in on back day since its my favorite. Recovery should be awesome with all the cals

Even though it was a light workout legs are sore today. Last night I caved in and ate a quarter of a sweet potato pie. All the junk food is out of my house now and I am going to get myself clean and lean lol Sorry for the delay but has a migraine headache last night and typing and looking at a computer screen was not an option
 
Heheh. Man. Monday starts the real diet. This weekend had one too many slips. Just had some gelato... Yogurt but still. Horrible lol.

Err I hear you.. Being home from school there's too much in the house that I want to eat.. At school I get my food daily n only eat what I buy on s daily basis so there's never extra.. If I find myself hungry after dinner.. Protein shake Is my only option lol. So I'm just embracing it this weekend.. Monday will be back at school n I'll be back to normal by Friday.. Tricky thing I'd the 3 weeks before my cruise on Xmas to new years, I will be home! Gonna have to make it clear to my mom (who thinks I'm just an OCD a hole about all this) not to buy or cook any junk.. Those 3 weeks will be a big test of will power to lean out before the cruise... Specifically Xmas eve dinner! Ugh, any other week they could have planned this!!! N the worst part is, none of understand them understand the mental dilemma I'm having..

Day 58


Ursobolic 3 x 3

Breakfast:

4 Whole eggs scrambled
8 ozV-8


Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
43 grams peanuts


Lunch:

Back and Bi's:

Chin Ups :
6 x 12


Nautilus plate loaded pull down machine loaded 2 45's on both sides and got a set of 20 added a quarter and got 15 added two tens per side and got 3 sets of twelve

T bar rows went to 3 45's again was not uncomfortable so just stuck with that weight for 4 sets of 10-12

Dumbell rows, went to 90 on both sides 4 sets of eight could have done more but again didn't want to push it just getting back into it

Biceps:

Seated plate loaded preacher machine. 2 45's and a 10 3 sets of twelve. 2 45's and 2 10's 3 sets of 8, then back down to 2 45's only for 3 sets of 10Did the Atlantis seated curl machine for 5 sets of 10 with 80 on the stack and the seated Freemotion curl machine for 5 sets of 10 at 90lbs on the stack. biceps were pumped up, Then I tried the Hoist bicep curl machine, when I first injured my shoulder I could not do this exercise, I took it to 70 on the stack and I was able to do it with no discomfort, tried 80 and it hurt the shoulder so I backed it off.

Observations: Good workout, injury was not as bad as I had feared. Still going to take it easy don't want to re injure it. Was really strong on bi's. Still had enough twinges to let me that it is not completely healed. I will stay cautious until I am sure I am ready to go all out
 
Day 59

Day 59

Ursobolic 3 x 3

Breakfast:

4 Whole eggs scrambled
Oat Bran Flax Pita
8 ozV-8


Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
43 grams peanuts


Afternoon:
50 Grams Whey Protein
43 grams peanuts

Intra Work out


Dinner:
200 grams 97% lean ground beef
150 grams Fava Beans and Tomato Sauce

Snack:
1/2 cup Natty Peanut Butter
30 grams Dark Chocolate


Pre Bed:
1 cup fiber one and 1 cup whole milk


Workout: Day Off

Observations:

My injury is flaring again today. I am appealing to any subber or passerby with medical knowledge. This injury is strange in its presentation. It is where my tricep meets my delt on the inside of my arm. There is no pain during any pushing movement. Whenever I try any type of curling motion, it hurts the further to the top of the motion the worse the pain. If my arms are supported say via preacher bench there is no pain. I've googled it every way I know how and no luck. The Truth will not be happy if he cannot go full tilt. HELP ME!!

Anyway other than that I am maintaining my muscle and tone. It has made me a believer in Ursobolic's muscle sparing effects. I wish I'd never had the sudden strength surge that I feel led to my injury, it was my own stupid fault for not reigning myself in. Its happened before. I should have known better, never increase your top lifts more than 5% of the prior best, to do so is to invite trouble. Especially when you are 46

 
Hmm.. I can't really comment on your injury... sounds very confusing. Could it be due to your surgery? Some kinda of random flare up due to a complication with the operation?

I hope someone else can comment..

Other than that you seem to be hitting it HARD at the gym and you might just be over worked ? lol maybe not.
Keep killing it man, but don't get injured... again... injury SUCKS lol

I know my eight weeks are over but I still have a couple of bottles left. So the log will continue. At least until my girl friend's visit on 12/13 or perhaps longer. I wish I could get myself completely healed so I I could put my all into my workouts like I was at the start of my run. I hate to end the log on a down note.
