The Body I Deserve (July 07 2008)
Same as yesterday, I consumed more foods then before, more carbs, more proteins and vegetable. I ate at 3:00am, followed by 6:00am, then 9:00am, and around 11:30am, I had an apple and one scoop of protein shake mixed with 4g of BCAA. Two scoops of No.Explode, can’t help it, I am still in the mentality of if not taking it, I’m afraid I don’t have the energy. Chest, did went up to 35lbs incline dumbbell pressed, and barbell press with the same amount. I did the pyramid scheme, 15, 12, 10, 8. Dumbbell fly weight did went up a bit. Did Cable Cross Over, with 25lbs to warm it up, then 35lbs, but I was exhausted. I also used the chest press machine and did 30lbs from both side, then 40lbs. I think last time I was able to push it to 50lbs, but for some reason, I can’t push it all out. Wonder if it’s because I exhausted my triceps muscles on cable press-down.
A guy at the gym asked me to spot him, and I told him that I can’t lift that weight he had on the bench. He was doing Bench Press with two 45lbs, and two 25lbs, and a 15lbs. I told him he should ask other guys to spot him. I was watching him workout, he was able to push all the weight, then he added that 15lbs on. Well, he did 2x reps. He thanks me and told me it’s really is the motivation that he needs, the support that he needs. I would be nervous if the person spot me couldn’t lift the weight, but that just me.
Then I felt a bit sleepy, and so I decided to do a little jog, but I ended up doing a long jog…dang it. It’s about 1.5 miles, but my incline went up a bit.
Overall, I did noticed my energy went up a bit, not as sluggish as I used to be, and I was able to push a bit heavier weight then before. Going to continue paying close attention to my intake and my progress. I can’t wait to see the transformation at the end of July 2008 
awesome!

After reading your blog post, I thought of a few things. Take them as you wish.
1. NO Xplode, or any other alteration causing drugs, will not give you the true energy you need, despite what some bodybuilders tell you. It’s mostly psychological. My first thought is that maybe you’re not getting enough deep sleep. What’s your sleep schedule like? Also, how much recovery do you schedule for your muscles?
2. Another psychological issue that might be hindering your progress is intrinsic motivation. I have this issue. Sure, there’s plenty of external motivation, just look at a lot of profiles on BS. But internally, what motivates you to want the body you deserve?
3. What’s your diet like? You may not be giving yourself the correct nutrients.
4. What’s your training program like? Sometimes a simple tweak can make a huge difference.
These are just some things to think about. It looks like overall you’re headed upward, which is always a good thing. I wish you the best as you continue your progress.
