Joe’s BodyBlog

Today I worked my shoulders and got in an excellent workout.  Ate clean all day as usual.  Tonight’s Hit cycling class went well and I worked harder than ever and sweated like a pig.  Tonight’s Hit cardio convinced me that I have to lay off of it because even though I put in a great effort, I didn’t feel as though I got a benefit from it. I could have gone another hour easily.  I guess my body adjusted to it.  I decided today off of the Hit cycling for the rest of the week and switch out my cardio routine.

 
I didn’t get into the pool because in my haste to get to the gym I forgot my towel.  I made up for it by doing an hour of martial arts.  Weight is still stuck at 174 at 17% body fat.  It seems strange to say this but I got spoiled losing 2-3 pounds each week and the first 96 pounds were easy to lose compared to this.

 
In place of the N.O. Explode by BSN, I have been trying out N.O. Shotgun by VPX.  It looks like milk of magnesia and tastes really bad. However while using it I was able to do preacher curls with a 110-pound barbell for 15 reps. That was a personal best for me and my biceps felt like they were gonna explode- awesome pump.  I was able to zip through tricep cable pull downs topping off at 170 lbs for 15 reps. I noticed one side effect of this supplement- anger. I also noticed that it wears off faster then the N.O. Explode and it will not keep me awake at night. Focus with the N.O. Explode during workouts is stronger.

I will continue to evaluate this new supplement once I have completed a full week of workouts while using it.

 
On the home front all is well.  Tied up a lot of loose ends. Got a lot of painting done, installed a new toilet, organized my DVD collection (I have over 500 of them) and separated out the remainder of my FAT clothes.  I tried on my old size 44 fat belt  that I wore when I weighed 270  and it practically wrapped twice around me.  I’m going to hold onto it as a reminder of where I started.

Ok,  I did my venting for the day.  Time to crash.
