onehawaiian’s BodyBlog

Aloha!  I rarely update my BodySpace, but here I am.  There’s been a few developments in my life and I figured it would be cool to log them…or at least post them somewhere…like here. 

So, recently I had a goal to reach a bodyweight of 200lb.  I gave myself 60 days and my starting weight was 172lb.  I have no doubt in my mind that I could have reached that.  However, I began to realize that my waist size was also increasing and that was not something I was willing to accept.  Sure I could have focused on my abs more but nah, that’s not me.  It was just a "hey it’d be cool to reach 200lb" goal, nothing important.  I stopped when I reached 189.3lb and decided to come down a few pounds.  My new target is somewhere between 175-180lb.  Currently I believe I am at 182.4lb and still dropping.  Awesome!

Also, my martial arts training is going well.  That was another reason for my early stoppage of weight gain.  The more muscle I packed on the faster I was winded during training and cardio sessions.  I could have trained and adjusted, but again nah, that’s not me.

Anyhoo, I’m sure it’ll be a few months before I update this blog again.  ALOHA!

i LOVED the original (nor-ephedrine).  forge claims the re-issue is as potent as the original, so i decided to give it a shot.  i have decent expectations for adipokinetix simply bc of it’s predecessor’s track record.  as it stands i am following the label doing 1cap 3x daily.  i have a high tolerance for stims, but as this is a new product i decided to err on the side of caution.  i will increase to 2caps next week. 

i did shoulders yesterday, and while on side-lats i tweaked my neck.  i frickin HATE getting hurt like this.  the weight wasn’t too heavy, but i’m pretty sure i wasn’t paying attention to my form.  and now my neck hurts.  i won’t be able to do my cardio/abs today either bc of it.

on a lighter note i went to see Simpsons: the Movie last nite.  pretty funny if that’s ur humor.  it’s mine, so i liked it. 

this last week my schedule has been erratic!  i had more things planned in my day than i actually had time for.  and for everything i omit something else takes a beating.  when i move one thing around i don’t really eliminate another it just gets pushed back further.  and what’s low man on the totem pole?  my workouts!

ah, but thank the good lord for 24hr fitness.  recently i had been able to go in at 10:30p and last night i went in at 12:30a for some cardio and abs.  i woulda got in sooner but i was sitting in my car in the parking lot talking on the phone for a good 1/2 hour…

GIRLS! u almost killed my workout!  LOL  :p

so…wanna know the price of a body transformation of a lazy man?  onehawaiiian is a walking chemical plant.  a supplement junkie, if u will.

time machine back into the late 90’s……… my friend discovers the wonders of ephedra in capsule form via prolab.  we have since dubbed all such forms the power pill.  over the years i have shoved into my body all types of thermogenics from various companies in search of that "holy grail", that ultimate power pill.  in my youthful (and i use this word ever so lightly) ignorance, i stacked supplement after supplement, not worrying about the side effects or dangers of doing so.  although i have been fortunate enuff to still be alive to make this blog entry, i look back and realize how stupid i was.  BUT… i was able to weed out the good from bad and have had very good results.  here’s a list of some of the good:

ephedra: thermodrene, kranker, spirosome

nor-ephedrine: adipokinetix, md-6

for various reasons i consedered these the best of the best.  effectiveness and absorbtion factor.  adipokinetix by syntrax was by far the best in capsule form.  spirosome by ids was a liquid theremo that was in ur system in less than 5min.

nor-ephedrine got banned first, and ephedra a few years later.  and the search for the ultimate non-ephedra based thermogenic ensued.  it wasn’t until recently did i discover such a supplement.  during this time thru the bb.com forum i was able to find pure ephedrine and create my own E/C stack.  it is still a staple of my supplementation today.

here is a rough list of what onehawaiian has tried:

therma pro, thermodrene, metabolift, md-6, adipokinetix, kranker, spirosome, hydroxycut, xenadrine, thermocuts

altho these wonderful supplements are no longer available, i have adjusted accordingly.  25mg bolt ephedrine and 200mg caffeine has helped me out tremendously.  i am nowhere near my goal, but i think that is due to not being completely and 100% serious about where i want to be health-wise.

but i am now.  and God willing, i will be able to continue using the right supplements to enhance my workouts without creating some kind of toxic waste in my body…

a few yrs back i was creeping up on 30.  i looked at my friends and saw them settling down…mostly on the couch in front of the t.v. and hoops with the boys was coming to an end.  weight was increasing and i began to let myself go.  but that was short-lived.  i made the decision to not be the casual 30yr old guy, content with life and not caring about my body, mind and overall well-being.  i wanted more.  i wanted to be sexy.  no, i wanted to be sexy naked.  this is my journey of my GENESIS…
