Fucked shit up today.

Coincedentally,
I got a sample of White Flood (2 servings), Purple Wraath, and Green MAGnitude from Controlled lab for free. I took them all today. Felt great. I really like White Flood and Purple Wraath. Green Mag is useless as its just creatine, and i take mono already.

Time to look up the ingredients and make my own!

Got some Anadraulic State GT. Its not expensive (25 bucks with free shipping), and Im curious as to whether the so called pSARMs and herbal SERMs work. We'll see.

Beta Alanine's coming in tomorrow.


So, Current staple sups:
Multi Vit, Creatine, Beta Alanine, Whey, Super Enzymes, Fish Oil.

Anadraulic State GT on workout days.

Nice work in here. When I was an undergrad on a meal plan, I would bring water bottles and fill them with milk and also snag a bunch of fruit. Maybe you can do this so you can get some food between your 2 big meals. Keep up the good work.

Oops, i forgot to add, that the meal problems are all fixed.

I started bringing freezer bags to lunch with me and taking a couple pound of chicken every other day.
My school gives us "cafe credits" so I use those to buy about 3 gallons of milk a week, but now I realize that i can get milk for free lol. Ill do that freeski and use the credits for other things.

My buddy also has a George Forman grill. Fortunately, my RA is cool about the Forman, so I can cook whenever I want to as well. So now I usually have 5 meals a day with both greens and meat every meal. Sometimes postworkout I have a protein shake and sometimes a shake before bed.

 

[zhangmaster12]

Worked up to an easy 300 single on deadlifts.
Focused on form.

 

[freeski]

Good to hear re: meal situation. Lift, eat, rest, repeat!

 

[Corrosion]

Nice work man. Keep eating. Keep growing.

 

[zhangmaster12]

Weighed in this morning at 162, as compared to yesterday morning's 157, hooray!
(dunno weight post-dump though =/)

Yesterday
decided to have a 2 family push-pull weightlifting meet! It was really fun. I didnt compete since it wouldnt have been fair. I would have out-totalled everyone my like 200 lbs, and I already deadlifted Wed.

The meet was comprised of 3 people:
-my little brother, 15 years old, about 100 lbs, just hitting his growth spurt.
-my friend 17 years old, 145lbs, used to lift with me but hasnt for about a year. He was recently trying to lose weight and dropped 30 lbs. Kinda crazy
-his little brother, 16, 140lbs. Skinny as fuck. Nuff Said

My little brother
Bench: 55
Deadlift: 105!!!!!

My friend:
Bench: 140
Deadlift: 200 (Hes got a really shitty deadlift for some reason. OK squat and bench, dl just sucks)

His brother:
Bench: 105
Deadlift:185

Me:
I worked up to a 145 easy close grip single. Still on deload.
Also, decided to do some full cleans.

Full Clean Singles, all relatively easy:
135
145
155
165 - this was the best form actually lol. The other weights were kinda light, so i didnt really have to squat down to catch the bar, it was more like power clean, then front squat.

Continuing deload.

Did some supine bicep contraction with opposite tricep movement with a barbell:
75lb x8
85x5
85x17 (did rest pauses, so after 8, put down, two more, ect)
21's with 55 lbs. I felt really gay afterward and immediately ate more shepards pie, turkey, and stuffing to offset the effects of the 21's.

Challenge for all you sherdoggers!
Find the craziest and longest name you can think for for barbell bicep curls, while still making it sound legit.
Mine: supine bicep contraction with opposite tricep movement
