top supplements for most people:
Fish oil, ZMA, B-Complex, Multi, creatine, Beta-Alanine, caffeine

joint issues/concerns:

glucosamine/chondroitin-helps recovery from grip workouts

hyaluronic acid

tendon/ligament/bone issues:
cissus
-very good if you do a lot of grip work

I eat relatively clean. Saturday when I went overboard and ate 6-7 slices of various pizzas I got sick to my stomach with flu-like symptoms...

Hell of a post. Simple, but really true.

I don't usually take caffiene because lately I've been working out in the evening, and if I take the caffeine, I won't sleep.

Lusst they ahve a height/weight standard not a BMI per se but it's the same thing essentially. max weight for 5'10 is 193lb and 6'0 for 204lb....i am wavering between 203-205...so i am right on the border. My height is probably is right around 6'0...could be smidge less or smidge more. If i happen to be a bit over I can take a body fat test however that would be on my own and paid by me. I am doing the standard and then if i happen to be over I'll gladly do the secondary.

That's actually pretty fucking stupid IMO. I'm guessing they want a bunch of pencil-necks running around town. Wow, I'd have to cut fucking 30lbs if i wanted to be eligible for hire.
 
No kidding. When i went to do the physical...I was by far the biggest guy there...with a bunch of chubby and/or skinny people there...

whatever....i am pretty close...i go by the saying....if u want to live with wolves then learn to howl...

then again i can alway get bf done....i am not really sweating it...
 
nah....broke down and had my creatine with some apple juice and then down bit of pickle juice afterwards. However I am eating less. Will see.
 
unfortunately no...i may end up taking a steam shower....tho hot water in our building is very subjective...esp from occassion to occassion..
 
steam shower is hard to do. to drop 4lbs may take 2+ hours.

try soaking yourself in a hot hot bath to get your body temp up and then start the shower to get the rest of the bathroom steamed.

or see if you can get 10 bucks and find a gym that has a sauna.
 
that's true...the only thing is that the appt is at 8 am...so i am going to leave house at around 6:45-7....so if i do go to sauna it would have to be a day before. Eh. there's a YMCA near my house. I am thinking of joining it if the costs are the same. It's a piece of crap gym but they do have a squat rack and bench...It's a very cramped little weight room 15x15 or something...and last time i checked it was 35-40 a month with no joining fees. I pay essentially the same thing to go to my uni gym per pass....

dont go longer than 24 hours without fluid but try and plan for around that, no fluids during that span. you can eat until later in the day if you want. then go to sauna for an hour or whenever you reach a lb past your goal. you should take a break from the sauna every 5 mins or 10 mins or whatever you can stand. its a very mental thing imo. go home and take a hot shower. and if you want sleep with a lot of clothes on to keep your body warm overnight. when you wake up, go to the appt. try and get fluids and food asap after your apt.
 
i think that''s a good plan. I will try to sleep with clothes on then wake up take a shower go to appt with a gallon jug of water which I intend to drink right after....

I am thinking of doing 225 bench today along with deadlifts....

current bw=203
 
do deads first. obviously. im excited to see how you do on deads since its been awhile.
 
10/31/07 2:45pm
-400mg caffeine+500mg enteric coated aspirin+500mg magnesium+b-complex+1000mg korean ginseng..

bw=202-203

deadlifts:
-this bar is good on one hand because it's only bar not bent...I suspect it's between 1 and 2" in diameter...close to 2"...bit harder to grip...
225-5 reps
315-3 reps
+Straps:
405-3 reps
495-1 rep
585-1 rep
635-1+0 rep...my right knee popped loudly at the start of the set but it didnt hurt and I locked out the weight. I'd say I had another 10-25 lb in me. My form was ways off but no hitch or ramp. Didnt use a belt.

Bench:
bar(45)-20 reps
135-10 reps
225-5 paused reps...2 sec per
315-1 paused rep...
225-25+0...last 5 were with sec pauses at the top...was as much my shitty cardio as muscular fatigue....no spotter....my friend showed up later and with no1 decent in sight i decided to just unrack it myself.
275-15+0 reps...last few were with couple sec pauses at the top and deep breaths. My friend got to the gym and helped unrack the bar.
275-12+0 reps...last 2 were with sec pause at the top and deep breaths..

135-5x3....ballistic bench...felt like i could throw it a foot in the air...

bw-5x5 Muscle ups
-did these throughout the workout...last set was ugly...after last set's rep I did 10 press outs over the bar

grippers:
HG200-10 each hand click warm up
BBE-got right hand to within 1/4", and parallel left hand...still not recovered fully.
#3-2+1 right hand(almsot had 3rd), left hand was 1/4" maybe. Took a vid and will post it a bit later.

5:15pm END

-groin i think is slowly getting better...*crosses fingers and knocks on wood*...
 
A) nice close. You gotta be close to a CCS.
B) 3.5 hour workout?
C) where can I buy quality collared shirts like yours?
 
oops...that should be 2:45pm...2.5 hours...i was talking with my buddy between sets...I usually take a lot of time between sets...

today was far from my best grippering...deadlifts even with straps also didnt help the cause...I should be very close to BBE right hand when my hands fully recover..

lol...that's my bench shirt...it's a large/small x-large...I have had it for years...shows off my GUNZ :]~
