I went to Gold’s gym tonight and forgot they closed at 7pm. So I went to the 400sq foot gym at work (opened 24/7). Only problem is there is no leg machines. Have no fear…. I went back to the basics. The following were used: smith machine, flat bench, dumbbells, single stack pully system.

I started with smith machine squats, went to single leg curl (with pully system), Calf raises on smith machine, then single leg lunge (1 foot on flat bench), finished with sumo squats. 15min cardio

I have to say I’m feeling it! Normally I like to do heavy squats or leg press. Nothing was done real heavy tonight. However my legs are toast.

Just remember to take it back to the basics every now and then. Some people get spoiled with their 65,000+ sq foot gyms

I started training with a partner again. We are doing a  "get big" power training schedule. Its two different training styles that alternate each weak. One week is a heavy power lifting style workout. Ever since we have started this, my body has been tired and sore. On one hand I’m very excited I get sore for 2-3days after the training session. On the other hand, I dont like how tired I am. Feels like I have AIDS or something (maybe i should get checked j/k). I think I’m eating enough food as well as getting close to 8 hours of sleep on a regular basis. Anyone else experience this? Anything that can help the tired feeling?

Ok so I’ve seen the ad for egg whites international for yearssss. I finally decided to try some. So i ordered 2, 1/2 gallon tubs of egg whites. Price wasnt to bad. I think it was $49.99? $10 of that was for shipping and another $9 for the pump (you only have to buy it once). Anyways, these egg whites are about as thick as fat free milk. Plus they almost have zero taste (there is a tiny after taste if drank by itself).

What I do it mix 8oz of egg whites with 1 scoop of protein powder. 8oz equals about 26g of egg protein! In closing, I will be ordering more. Its super convenient!

I just want to know what people think about:

SciFit Ecdysterone 300 = 20-beta-hydroxyecdysterone

SciFit Methoxy 500ex = 5-methly-7-methoxy-isoflavone

If you tried it, let me know dose/time taken/results.

If it really helps with protein synthesis, then i’ll be happy

So I’ve been sick since Thursday with a fever and chills. Today is the first day I didn’t feel like death. Tomorrow i will attempt to train chest. This has been a hard few days. I’ve wanted to train bad, but been confined to my bed this whole time. To get myself ready for tomorrow, I’ve been watching BB videos. I have not weighted myself yet, but am convinced i lost a good 5lbs. On a plus note I will be feeling 100% on new years eve (not that i will be drinking, but want to go out with friends). January 1st starts my hardcore training for my mid year show

Stay tuned

I often buy my supplements from bb.com

I just ordered last week $235 worth of goods. This entitled me to a freebie gift. I picked the blue bb.com shirt. When i got my box they also include a shaker. Now with all the money i spend @ bb.com a $3 shaker doesn’t seem like a lot. However, to me this just shows bb.com’s class. Keep it up bb.com

And no i dont work for them lol

As I type, the wind from this beautiful day flows threw the open window. I pause and reflect on what a lucky person I am to enjoy the freedoms of America. Anyone who can’t appreciate that should spend some time in a third world country. Tomorrow is a paid holiday… on the backs of the Veterans. I would be doing a disservice to this country if I did not enjoy my day off. Just one more reminder of how lucky I am.

Yet in a land far away, young men and women are on high alert. Good people may die today and you have the audacity to complain about petty things. I support the war and the veterans! Remember if the war is not fought on foreign lands… then it will make it to the shores of the U.S. If my country needs me, I’d take up arms and be sent over seas.

Veterans this is to YOU. I can not tell you how much I owe you. Keeping the American dream alive. I am in debt to you… forever.

Tuesday will be the 6 year annerversity of the terrorist attacks on America. Today I watched some of the shows that documented these events.

Do you remember where you were when you heard the twin towers were hit? I do… I was a senior in high school. My P.E. class just ended and I was walking to my economics class. My friend James ran up to me and asked if i heard that two air planes hit the twin towers. He said we are going to world war III and then ran down the hall. I walked into my economics class and the teacher had the T.V. on. I saw the two towers flaming. Later they both fell. I didnt have much feeling about it at the time.

I hope if terrorist ever try to take over a plane again, that people will respond with force right away. If it happens on my watch "We will not go quietly into the night…we will not vanish without a fight!"

Whats with the high ratio of Canadian fitness hotties? I’ve noticed a lot of women who live in Canadian who are into fitness. 9 out of 10 times they are in extremely good shape…. and are really really nice too. Whats up with that?

As expected with the weight gain, I’m starting to lose my cuts. Its getting closer to the end of the year when traditionally people gain their weight in the winter. Only problem, there is no winter in Florida lol. Your expected to be cut year round here (at least when you live 10min from the beach). I know this needs to be done in order to take me to the next level. I guess mentally i just need to except my body fat will be higher for the next 4 months
