Ok so i finished my 21 day animal stack2. Out come… it was great for a pump, hardened me up, and made me vascular. Great for workouts. I didnt really notice any size. The scale says im up 1-2lbs, but i flux that much all the time. I bought another 21 day supply and will try it one more time. If i gain another 1-2lbs on top of what i maxed at then the product might be worth the $35 price tag from the local store. I think its $28 from bodybuilding.com

One thing that was really noticeable was the libido increase. I’m not trying to be funny, but after the second week… just driving over a speed bump would cause excitement.

As someone who loves to learn and implement health and fitness… its not my whole life. Sure I spend 6 days a week working out. As well as my profession being in the health and wellness industry. With all that said I still don’t see myself being 2 dimensional or a one trick pony.

Sometimes I will go out with people i know from the gym. Within 10min I know why its not a good idea. All they want to talk about is training. There is so much more to life then working out. Politics, history, current events, the environment… hell even theoretical physics. Am i dedicated to lifting? Hell ya I am. Do I plan on ever stopping? NO, providing my body doesn’t break down on me lol. Nothing says you can’t be dedicated, yet pursue other things. Case and point is Arnold Swarchenegger. What set him apart from every other bodybuilder? He was/is charismatic, personable, and looked beyond what was currently in front of him.

Point of the story? Don’t let your life pass you by. Its to special and relatively short to be 2 dimensional. Be a double threat by being knowledgeable in fitness, as well as other aspects of life.

PS: Obviously i like to talk about fitness with others on bodyspace, but then again thats why I’m specifically on this site. This post has to do with life outside of this realm

The medical examiner and I keep missing each other. Plus I’ve been super busy at work. Hopefully I’ll get to watch one next week. I’ll keep you posted

Ok so for the last 2 weeks I have been doing lighter weight for 20 reps to try to invoke a mitochondrial response. Also, i have changed working bi’s and tri’s on different days. Now I do an arms day with both on the same day. All i can say is today was a great arm workout! I got a major burn pushing to 20reps (normally i only do 6-10). The pump was amazing making my arm swell over an inch larger then when they are cold. In Ronie Coleman style i was screaming "light weight baby… light weight!" (the gym was totally empty). So for you big boys and girls out there, don’t forget the light weight now and then. I will continue for 2 more weeks. To my understanding it takes about a month before additional mitochondrial come into play. Hopefully, the end result will be i can lift more weight in the 6-10rep range. Ill keep you posted

I get to go to an Autopsy on Monday! This will be a great learning experience. I’ll get to see clogged arteries, fat, the heart, etc. I read the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle and now i get to see it for real. I’m sure it will be a surreal thing…

For those of you who dont know… I’ve been battling an injury for over a year and lost a lot of mass. Well I’m starting to feel better! Getting stronger and stronger every day. I think its time to mass up! I’ve started the bulking diet and have just revamped my lifting program. Also, I will be getting serious with my supplementation (meaning I’ll actually take them all the time lol). In addition, im going to try universals animal stak2 (not expecting much). The only bad news is i will be losing my training parner Sara at the end of the month, so i gotta do this solo. Looking to get back to 190lbs lean and gain that inch back on my arms. Wish me luck!

My certification came in from Cooper Institute the other day. What does this mean? Nothing really, but my job wanted me to have this cooper certification. Another Master Fitness Trainer cert under my belt. I look forward to continuing my education
