Swimming is Tiring, Mixed Feelings on Meso-Tech
Well, I did my morning swim today for my PT session. One lap up and back and I was huffing and puffing worse than when I run a mile and a half. Granted, It’s been a while since I did any swimming, and it’s a pretty long pool, but sheesh. I’m going to have to do that more often. Maybe I’ll go out there at least once a week. I think that would be good for my overall body and cardio.
My initial assesment of the Muscle Tech Meso-Tech powder is kind of mixed. Last night I had my first drink of it and I mixed it with water like the directions say. It took a LOT of shaking to get it thoroughly mixed. Even then there was some clumping. The taste was nothing near as good as Optimum’s Whey, but it was manageable. Later, I’m going to try it with milk and see how that is. This stuff is categorized as a Meal Replacement Powder vice just a protein, so it contains all kinds of good stuff in it. Carbs, Fat, Vitamins, Minerals, Creatine Monohydrate, Inulin, Aminos, Fish oil, all kinds of stuff. Because it contains more protein per serving, I shouldn’t have to take it 4 or 5 times a day. The directions say once in the morning and once after the workout. I’m still deciding how I’m going to divvy out the servings. I might try it how it says. I’m going to use up all of it, which should last me about 9-10 days. Using the Optimum, I gained about 4 pounds in about 9 days, so we’ll see what this does. Granted, I don’t know what the content of my weight gain is. It’s doubtful that it’s all Lean Mass, but I’m bulking so I’m willing to gain a little bit of the bad stuff, as long as I’m seeing improvements in my muscles.
I’m planning right now on conituing my bulking up until about mid-September. After that, I’m going to diet and see what it takes to Lose some of the fat. There’s not too much there, but I’m sure it won’t be easy for me to get that stuff off my belly. If anyone has some good tips or suggestions on that phase of the operation, feel free to drop a line or leave a comment. I haven’t even really started looking up "dieting without losing muscle" info yet. I’m concentrating right now solely on gaining as quick as I can (without any harmful/illegal stuff).
That’s about it for now. Tomorrow morning I’m going to hit a shoulder workout. I’m going to push this one real good and hope it will give me some results. I’m also thinking I’m going to work legs again because there was no soreness in my legs at all today after working them yesterday. I don’t think I hit them hard enough. That’s about it for the day. Later.
