Lifting in the desert
Well, I’ve been in Kuwait now for a couple of days and have spent a lot of time in the gym. The gyms here at Camp Arifjan are squared away. There is definitely plenty to do and lots of classes of all t ypes to take from Cardo Kickboxing to Boxing to Spinning, etc etc. so no excuse not for anyone to get off their asses and do something. Anyway, I feel great. I’m going to estimate that I’m right around 20% so I really need to lean out some. I’m so curious what kind of mass I’ve put on. Hmmm…. Today at the PX I got some NOXPLOD and yesterday got some Cell Mass to start another cycle of. I’m continuously using Aminos, Glutamine, Pyruvate, Chromium and of course a Multi. I feel good though it’s hot as hell I can handle this heat a lot better than a lot of people. It feels so good to be in the kind of shape I’m in. Last PT test was 70 pushups in 2 minutes, about the same in situps but I need some improvement on my run. I did it in about 18:20 (2mi). I’d like to knock that down to 17. That’d be awesome. This Sunday there is a "Best of Biceps" competition and though I’m not going to enter I’m definitely going to check it out. Maybe next time I’ll check it out. I saw the weight categories for females are under 140 and over 140. I am probably at about 150 right now. My diet is real good. Mornings I’ll have 4 hard boiled eggs (whites only) and some oatmeal with a lil fruit and coffess. I haven’t quite figured out meals 2 and 4, but 3 and 5 are a salad with tuna or turkey/chicken (about 4-5oz). I need to get in contact with my Nutritionist to see what I can do about those in between meals. ardio several times a week for 12-15 minutes as well as split routine and then additionally we are starting back to group PT tomorrow. Hopefully I’m not overdoing it. I’m getting plenty of rest. I haven’t had trouble adjusting to the new time zone or even had jet lag. Lucky me! I think that’ll do it for now. Oh I’m also doing Hydroxycut again and thinking of switching to something else.
