35 minutes 15% 4.5mph

 

[AE14]

I just got back from a little morning cardio

40 minutes 4.4-4.8mph 15% feel good

Finished my NoX last night, so tonight I begin the GH solo.

My thoughts regarding the NoX is that it has helped my vascularity and it seems that as Dsade said, my joints feel much better as a result

It'll be of interest to watch to what baseline you return...sore joints, reduced recovery, and loss of vascularity or somewhere improved long term.

I am hopeful that I dont suffer too much as a result. I have enjoyed the feeling of being able to get out of bed without the help of a crane :lol:

 

[AE14]

Had to go back earlier than I wished, doing the family BBQ thing this afternoon.

Cardio (leg warmup)
20 minutes on the bike at level 6

Legs:
Leg Extensions (5 sets) 180-225lbs
Squats (8 sets) 225lbs 14 reps
Front Squats (5 sets)115lbs
Standing/Seated calf raises (10 sets) superset between the 2
Seated leg curls (5 sets) 110lbs
Lying Leg Curls (5 sets) 110lbs

Legs are a tad wobbly, but feeling good regardless. Hopefully the loss of NoX does not make me scream tomorrow. My gym is open tomorrow from 7-3, so I will do some fasted cardio at 7, then back around 1 for chest and cardio. Will also update the progress photo tomorrow as well

[Iron Lungz]

Great log!
Do you plan on getting some more NoX?

 

[AE14]

I am thinking about it. I figure, if I notice that the soreness is very pronounced and that the joints are achier than usual, than yes.

 

[AE14]

Fixed the problem

Here is 2 months apart same pose.

 

[Iron Lungz]

n/m
Edit: You got it.

 

[AE14]

did a little morning cardio:
41 minutes 15% 4.4-4.8mph

feel good, good vascularity. legs were and are a bit tight, but overall feel great. Will be back this afternoon for chest and more cardio. Then tomorrow starts teh 4:45 running

 

[AE14]

Just got back from the gym from chest and cardio

[Trauma1]

Here is 2 months apart same pose.

Nice work buddy!

 

[Royd The Noyd]

Definitely leaner. Whats the weight difference in those two pics?

 

[AE14]

I was 223 or 224 in the first one (July 1). The one taken this am (Sept 1.) I am 206

 

[crader]

Great fat loss and much better definition! Awesome job!

 

[AE14]

thanks C, it is still a huge work in progress. With that in mind, I just got back from early am fasted cardio. Man that alarm went off at 4:30 and I thought I would lose my mind. However, we persevere and thats that

40 minutes 15% 4.4-4.8 mph.

Depending on what time I get home from work this afternoon will decided if I double up the cardio

 

[crader]

Yeah we do perservere. I was away from civilization this weekend so I missed my diet and boy can you tell. It looks like I will be giving up life until the O just to look decent. What sucks is my b-day is the 12th so I can't really celebrate it.

 

[AE14]

well happy b-day. I have been trying to stay strict today and will continue to do so damn it

 

[AE14]

well just had a lightening fast ride from the gym home. I did my cardio, but never went to the bathroom before, and as soon as I hit the seat in the car I thought I might explode. Love that feeling of running stop signs and red lights.

Either way, here is the cardio
41 minutes 15% 4.4-4.6mph

 

[dsade]

Adrenergic stimulation of smooth muscle, perhaps?

 

[AE14]

it was certainly an experience. I am foregoing the lifting tonight, and will be back on a regular schedule tomorrow. We have been stuck with in-service the last two days and have been getting out late. Tomorrow the kids return so all things will be on the normal schedule

 

[AE14]

just got in from a little am cardio

35 minutes 15% 4.4-4.6mph

will be back at the gym this afternoon for a little back

 

[AE14]

Down to 205!!!!!!

Finally got back for a lift this afternoon, even though today was the first day with kids back. Seriously busy, but good to be back in the swing of teaching again

Back:
Wide grip chins (4 sets) bw
NG chins (4 sets) bw
BB rows (5 sets) 185lbs
Hyperextensions (5 sets) 45lbs plate
Barn doors (5 sets) 60lbs
Wide grip cable rows (5 sets) 170lbs

I fatigued earlier than expected, which I am attributing to just being back on a normal routine again and waking up at 4:30. Did a little extra cardio

20 minutes 15% 4.4-4.7mph

 

[crader]

What kind of teaching do you do?

 

[AE14]

I am a high school social studies teacher. however, I have my certification in Administration as well, and am looking A lot of $$$$ out there.

The good thing is, I love my job so if I dont go into admin. I wont be crushed

 

[AE14]

got in a little morning cardio, however it would have been more had the person opening the gym showed up on time.

30 minutes 15% 4.4-4.6mph

 

[AE14]

just returned from the gym. I am exhausted. It is always typical of the first week back.

Tri's
vbar push downs (5 sets) 150lbs
cross body 1arm pulldowns (5 sets) 30-50lbs
2arm db ext. (5 sets) 75-90lbs

Bi's
BB Curls (5 sets) 110lbs
Hammer Curls (5 sets) 40lbs
Machine 2arm preacher (5 sets) 50-90lbs hi rep
Concentration curls (3 sets) 30lbs

Felt good, but exceptionally tired. Will go back to a normal workout weekend tomorrow. Also, with all the stress of first week back and schedule changes, I am amazingly having no real stomach issues. No bloat, no gas etc... Thank goodness for GH

 

[AE14]

woke up early for no reason, just the body getting acclimated. nothing like a 5am on a saturday. So I figured I would take advantage of it and do my situps that I couldnt get done durinbg the week. Gym opens at 7 and will get there for the opening for some fasted cardio

 

[AE14]

had a little fasted cardio this am

40 minutes 15% 4.5-4.7mph

Will get back this afternoon for shoulders and cardio

 

[AE14]

had a change in workout a bit. As I was finishing the lifting I had a visit from the near by hair salon from my daughter who just had a fresh haircut. So there was no extra cardio

Shoulders
Seated db press (6 sets) 75lbs

Rear Peck Deck (4 sets) 70lbs
Arny Presses (4 sets) 60lbs

Side laterals (12 sets) 35lbs, 20lbs, 10lbs supersets

DB Shrugs (5 sets) 90lbs
Cable Upright rows (5 sets) 120-150lbs

Feel very good, had a lot of energy even with rising early. Tomorrow is legs and cardio.

 

[AE14]

well, yet again woke up at 5, so I did 1000 situps middle and sides just for nothing better to do. Also, just got back from cardio:

40 minutes 15% 4.5-4.8mph

feel excellent, stomach is a nonissue at this point

 

[dsade]

Usually saying that "nothing has changed" is bad for a log...with Gut Health, there couldn't be anything better.

couldnt agree more. it is phenomenal. It is totally a nonissue for me, and after years of troubles, this is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one :rofl:

Changed up legs today as my back was a tad tight, nothing bad, just a bit tight. SO I made it a cardio leg pump with lots of calves.

Treadmill:
30 minutes 15% 4.5mph

Bike:
20 minutes 6%-8% incline. This actually gave a good pump

Calves:
Standing calf raises & Seated calf raises (super set 5 each)
210lbs standing
120 seated

Rotary calf extensions (5 sets)
210lbs

Was wobbly walking out, and happy with all the cardio I did, it flew by as the Steeler game was on

 

[AE14]

a bit frustrated at the moment. Here I go and wake up at 430, drag my sleepy butt to the gym, and the girl who opens doesnt show up. Now granted, had I stayed a few minutes later she probably would have made it, but with the location of my job and the time it takes for me to get there, I am under major time constraints for my cardio. Oh well, I will make sure to hit cardio after chest tonight. I will probabbly get to the gym late

 

[Chub]

I take it you noticed less bloat when using GH, but did you notice even less bloat and gas when you used both Gut Health/NoXidant together? I've got 2 bottles of NoXidant in my shopping basket just waiting to be ordered

 

[AE14]

I did not notice any bloat change with NoX, I noticed I was less sore with NoX

 

[AE14]

had a nice later evening chest and cardio workout

Chest:
Incline DB press (5 sets) 80-95lbs
Incline flys (5 sets) 40lbs
Peck Deck (5 sets) 135-180lbs <no rest on last 3 sets>
Flat BP (5 sets) 225lbs

Felt surpisingly strong after a long day with meetings after school. Got a good pump as well.

Cardio:
30 minutes 15% 4.5-4.7mph

Hopefully tomorrow morning everything goes smoothly and I can get some fasted cardio in

 

[AE14]

got in some early morning cardio

35 minutes 15% 4.4-4.7mph

wont be able to get back in this afternoon as I will be in meetings here at work till 5ish. Long day

 

[AE14]
