Thoughts of an Iron Disciple

Ate Subway yesterday before going to gym.  my wife and I both were up all night long and then all day long today throwing up and with diarea.   i actually shit myself 4 times and threw up everything I’d ingested for the past 24 hrs.  I would drink water and it would come right back up as soon as I got still again.  on top of both of us being sick my baby is cutting her first tooth and sick as well.  she has diarea so bad that I change her diaper every hour or it leaks out all over her bedding and clothes.  Needless to say that all of this is extremely hard for me to cope with.  I was angry alot today because I could not get any rest and was sick on my knees every time I was awake.  Didn’t eat anything or take my PH today either. TOO SICK

Literally.  I have felt like shit for about a week now but it peaked today for sure.  The weather here in Newport News can’t make up its mind.  I have a pretty strong immune system but I have fell victim to a serious illness.  The flu and then some.  Maybe my working out whule feeling the onset of this was a bad idea.  Anyway, no gym for me tonight after last nights shoulder and trap workout done here at home.  I feel like i am slipping. Protein uptake has been next to nothing last couple of days as well.  Today I ate 2 1/2 slices of pizza period. Didn’t dose Cellucor last night properly either and missed another dose this morning.  What the hell is wrong with me?

I was experienceing DOMS in legs so bad yesterday.  I was scared when I remembered my new split had me working quads again.  Felt like I had just worked them, but that was Saturday.  Anyways I elected to go kinda light because of the soreness and today I woke up with no pain below the waist.  Amazing how our bodies adapt to a stimulus.  I did back and bis too.  Lower back and glutes are hurting though.  I cut my bicep workout short so I may hit them hard again today after shoulders.  Later….

I am sure some of you have questions about this company.  I sure did before jumping on board with this pricey line-up.  However whn you break their product line down you will see that each product the have is actually a combo of 3 or more products that are synergetic together.  When the initial price tag looks so out of reason you just have to research,  The combo of high powered ingredients is actually saving you money.  To purchase each alone would send you a truly skyrocketing supllementation bill at months end.  I SWEAR by these products now that they are the best I have ever experiences.  My wife is down almost 13 lbs in 2 weeks on the Weight Management System.  Now she is doing the cabbage soup diet while taking cellucor and weight is falling off for real.  I have gained 10 solid lbs of mass in my 2 week run.  This is more gain than I had in 8 months on Sixstar, Muscletech, BSN, Cytosport, and Gaspari Nutrition Products.  I am running alog in the forums called The Cellucor Experiment that will go into more depth as to dosage and daily log.  Check it out and if you’ve got the time give me some greens on my rep because someone slandered me pretty good in another forum. 

As pumped as I was last night and all day today about hitting the gym hard this week.I missed my workout this evening.  My wife got off early and instead of this being a good thing, it was anything but.  I took the car to go do laundry today which I did not get done.  I never started!  This invited a full out war between the two of us.  Hateful words were thrown and threats made.  My wife says she is sick of me and was actually talking the D word.  This all out of left field pretty much so I was taken aghast and by complete suprise.   Angry was not the word.  Between my temper and the PH’s it was all I could do to not freak the F out.  She infuriated me.  Because I had not done laundry we had argued, that escalated to WW III, and I was ready to take on collateral damage!  Thankfully we managed to difuse without killing one another but I feel we were both really close to our last breaths.  Clearly unhealthy for our love.  Anyway  I just needed to vent still.

I have not been using a split.  Just training by feel and due to this many times I am negleting bodyparts.  I believe this new split will help me to better plan my workouts instead of training by feel or "off-the-Hip".  I have been logging every set for some time now but no organization as to what to work on what day as you can tell by looking at my workout tracker.  My muscles have still responded well with no plateaus except for in strength.  I have continually gotten more mass and thickness, also more defined.  I think this is entirely due to muscle confusion…ME confusion too

Anyway using a split I will not neglect to train my less favorable bodyparts and promote growth and better gains, also I believe this will help aide my recovery too.  Plus now I can actually go into the gym knowing what I will do today and with better focus.  Afterall failing to plan is……. in the end……… planning to fail!

I have always been a loyal M&F reader because I have had a subsciption for 4 years.  I discontinued the mag because for the most part in 4 years they were so similar.  Every issue was just a varied article on the same old stuff…over and over for 4 years.  Now don’t get me wrong I learned alot but it became boring.  So I was reluctant to try Planet Muscle but so far I have found some good articles and superior workouts.  Plus I feel it catters to the masses instead of just the elit WEIDER team and superstars.

I finally hit my legs yesterday for the first time since late Jan. early Feb.  It felt good to go at them again even if it was not in conjunction with my doctors advice.  I have a bad knee and until I have surgery it just won’t be much better.  Hopefully training will strengthen the joint again.  Anyway I am experiencing DOMS for the first time in awhile too.  Must have done something right this week at the gym   Aches are all over my body but especially in pectoral region and my brachaillis on my forearms.  R3 not taking care of the dry joints either,(not to knock a fabulous product) may soon incorporate fish oil into supplementation regime to combat this problem.  It is recommended to use them and saw palmetto anyway while using a PH and they are of little expense.

Thanks for the feedback.  I have to give myself kudos even for going public like that.  But at some point we all have to become accountable.  Anyhow,  I had a great workout yesterday and another good one tonight though it was short lived.  My wife was not feeling up to par.  I love the P6 Black Extereme 2nd Gen PH from Cellucor.  Insane strength coming on.  Crazy aggression sometimes but I think it a carry over from the negatives I was allowing in.  Check out my log in the forums.  The Cellucor Experiment for more details along with the workout tracker to see the strength gains I am taliking about.  I always go hard but this stuff here makes me go beyond threshholds of pain, beyond limitation.  No matter what number I came up with for rep counts I alwasys hit my mark.  Even multiple sets of 50!  Out of this world endurance!!!

  That is all I chalk up the last two weeks to.  I have repeatedly indulged in narcotics and they are eating me up.  It started with a trip to the denist who pulled my teeth and prescibed me opiates.  Then my PH came in and I began it after finishing the Percocets he prescribed.  That would be fine if it had stopped there but it has not.  I have been on a binge of drinking, doing cocaine, smoking alot of pot, adderal XR……….all while still using PH.  I am making this public to shame myself in an attempt to turn from these wicked and counterproductive ways before I fall back into prior addictions or even worse…screw my body up, get really sick,  and my marraige suffer as well.   I know I can do better.  I have been walking the path of the straight and narrow since my daughters birth 8 months ago. For the most part I was clean for almost 2 whole years.  I don’t really know what I have been doing allowing myself to continue to do my whole world harm like this.  To those of you who believe in JC please pray for me to be as mentally strong as I have become physically strong so I don’t give into these vices anymore.
