BSN - Atro-Phex

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Ok, I HAD to come back and post about this because this stuff is the ish!

I upped my dosages to 2 pills, twice a day. Man, it’s awesome but there’s a downside: On Sunday, I took my morning dose, at breakfast in preparation for training. I never made it to the gym due to home distractions (which is why I train at 4:30 am most days). Anyway, I didn’t consume very much food the next 2-3 hours (really small pathetic meals), as I was getting into hour 4.5 I started feeling REALLY horrible. I too my temperature to make sure I wasn’t running a fever and my stomach was seriously upset. After feeling bad into hour 5.5 I figured out I needed to friggin eat. So I had a major carb/protein influx, within 30 minutes I started feeling GREAT but I kept eating after that just to make sure (every 2 hours).

So, if you use this stuff, stay true to your regular meals. I won’t try this out again to see if my theory is correct. The discomfort was SIGNIFICANT enough to make a lasting impression.

Now, on training days, this stuff gets my furnace going during my workouts, the mental focus is off the chain and I’m rarely with that “gotta eat NOW” feeling. So far, I’m loving it (all things considered).

XOXOXO,

Well

Friday, July 27th, 2007

All is still well in the training camp… revamped my training schedule, I’m happy now. Taking my rest days during the week when I need most (work and family obligations). I’ve also scaled back my cardio to 30 minutes 5 days a week instead of 45 minutes, 6 days a week.

We just had ANOTHER person go pro at our gym last week, DEBBIE BRAMWELL, it’s an awesome win for her, she looked fabulous. Rumor has it she had a really awesome posing routine too. Congrats Debbie!!

My dieting has been modified since my weight has been stagnating at about 152 lbs for the past month. I’m hoping upping my calories will motivate the inner furnace, seems like it stalled on me.

I started taking the long awaited BSN Atrophen a few days ago, I think I like it. It gives a nice feeling (kinda like the thermophoric) but is supposed to curb the appetite). I’d never heard of it until Egon mentioned it…

We’ll see what happens on the this new regimen. Wish me luck!!

XOXOXO

Congratulations Pete & Meriza!!

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Just writing to extend a very heartfelt congratulatory wish to my friend Meriza on a very well earned Pro card win!! She placed second at the Team Universe Figure Championships in New York today in Class A.

You don’t really appreciate a win like this until you see what the person puts in on it, day after day, month after month. All the training, cardio and dieting…wow! I’ve been watching this little dynamo for a few months now and am very much in awe of and inspired BY her.

Congrats Meriza on a win well deserved (and to Pete for being such an awesomely supportive boyfriend).

XOXOXO!!

Updating

No much new going on other than a modification to my diet which made it stricter still. So far so good though. That and I’ve increased the intensity of my cardio sessions

Training is going well although I still haven’t settled on a definitive training schedule. My body parts go:

Back/Rear Delts/Abs

Chest/Triceps/Biceps/Abs

Quads/Glutes/Calves

Hamstrings/Glutes/Calves

Front and side Delts/Abs

Who knows, I may switch this around too!

Summer is in full swing here in SD and I wore shorts to the gym last Saturday for the first time in over a year. Feels like we’re in Florida sometimes with the humidity being so high.
