Knees and Gains
Since I’m no longer sitting at a desk all day for a good while, thankfully, I’m now on my feet most all day. This is good in many respects, but it’s really starting to bother my knees. I think I’m due to get some new shoes soon, or at least some good inserts, for a better arch support. Otherwise the days following leg workouts aren’t going to be much fun…
On the up side, chest/back last night was really good and all my weights bumped up a little more. I’m very pleased that the GVT program has yielded noticeable and consistent progress in multiple respects. I’m actually dropping a little more weight, but my body is really feeling "fuller" overall, especially in areas where I need the most work. Sticking with the compound movements is really working well for trying to build, although now I’m curious to try the method with isolation movements for a few particular groups that’re still giving me trouble after another month or so of this program. For recovery, I’m really liking the MHP Up Your Mass. I’m not using the full servings (I don’t need 62g of protein, I usually take 40-50 at a time), but it’s loaded up with a crazy amount of glutamine (a full 4 scoop serving has almost 26g!). I’m sure that’s helping out a lot since MHP really shoots for sustained release, plus the gainer tastes better than the Probolic. That much glutamine gives it a bit of a chalky taste, but mixing it with whole milk makes it quite palatable.
Anyhow, off to take a nap. Might get a little cardio in later if my knees stop complaining.
