Detours BODY

Gonna try something new, I have done pyramid sets and reverse pyramid sets, but today I’ll try doing ascending and descending in one set! Tough work but I guess the more reps, the more muscle growth. I don’t know if anyone has tried that mammoth set but I know it’s something worth trying. Definitely will test my will. I like to stick doing the same exercise but changing how I execute them, that makes it interesting without being too complicated. Better head off. I’ve noticed my abs are starting to come through more, its about time!

Did a vid last night of me dancing around and generally looking a bit goofy!

Was trying to edit it slightly just so it’s a shorter clip and couldn’t work out how to do it in this damn programme!!! Gonna try again tonight and see if I can post it - man I looked stupid!

Well it’s monday again and chest day - yay! I really wanna do some damage, in a good sense. Really push through that pain barrier. I plan to do 2 - 3 sets of the heaviest I can on the chest press and then go for broke on the bench. I must do flyes today, I forgot to do them last week. I’ll try those new shoulder exercises that people have recommended to me in the forums and see how that goes aaand, with my new brand of BCAA’s I should feel like wonder woman pushing all that iron today!

Leg day it was today, squats leg presses deadlifts leg ext and curls and lunges.. Was beaten up! But before and after my workout I took some BCAA’s I’d stopped taking them before,, switched brands and wow I was energized today.  OLIMP sports nutrition, I’d never heard of them before today. But after the surge of energy to lift my spirits and wake me up I’ll never forget them;) I’m gaining my strength back and soon I’ll be squatting over my body weight again. At the moment I’m doing just under my body weight, but that won’t last long. I find supplements can be hit and miss. Sometimes I’ll take things in blind faith hoping they’ll work but after a while when you see next to no results you just realise how much money you wasted, especially if like me you wanna give something a fair go so you keep doing it. I was glad to notice immediately that something as simple as BCAA’s gave me a lift as soon as I stacked the weights on and started pushing. Was contemplating stimulants, all I had at home was coffee - some people say yay, and some say nay, I just wanna rock my body and will try something to see how it makes me feel and I’ve found for me caffeine doesn’t give me a surge, it actually seems to deplete. Wonder if other people get this too.. Anyhow I’m happy when I find something that seems to work on me:) 

I recieved a bad rep for I’m guessing forum posts. To my knowledge I haven’t been rude to anyone and obviously not everyone is going to agree on other peoples posts due to personal experience on what seems to work for people when it comes to exercise. Everyone is different, thats certainly why I’m here. I can help people and LOTS of people can help me (and have). I feel a bit taken aback by it but you can’t please everyone. If I have ever written anything that seemed rude, I can assure it was not meant to be because I don’t operate like that, and if it was exercise or diet related I can only say something that I see has or hasn’t worked for me, express my opinion and let the recipient do what they want with the information. If its just a misunderstanding then again I apologise, I’m not the kind of person to put anyone down in anyway and only want to be positive within this network of people

Took the picture down, though thats the whole point for me about this site, to see what you want changing and looking at those pics and saying right I’m gonna burn my ass up in the gym TODAY and eat super duper clean etc… I couldn’t take seeing it again, I see it everyday but from that perspective it was enough too ignite a fire in me and say you know what, I’m gonna turn this mutha out!

Just put up a pic of my tum - hate my lower abs, I know that is probably a diety thing. Need to tighten that right up. This time in 4 weeks time I do hope to be posting a very new picture - hope you guys can tell me what you think Need some encouragement  and support!!!

Quick question, does anyone find that consuming excess protein or just increasing the intake makes them go to the toilet more (for a pee )?

It’s happening to me and interrupting my sleep so wanted to know if it’s happening to others?

Been quite tired these passed few days and still made myself do my leg workout today, my ass starts crying each time I have to walk up the stairs.. good though! Not eaten enough today but I’ll sort that out through the course of the rest of the day.
