Ouch.

It's a two leg, but the poundage is far different on my free-weight bench attachment than a machine.

Can I just say that this is the first time that ive read this thread and think its great. Im hoping to start one of my own journals within the next month.

How much does this ALA cost and what are the side affects when you come off it?

galileo · 07-Jan-03, 10:16 AM

1fast400 sells ALA for a pretty decent price. 180 caps @ 300mg for $24.99. It drops to about $23.33 if you buy 3 bottles at a time.

There are no side-effects from 'coming off' of it. It's just an antioxidant that has some nutrient partitioning properties. The main side-effect is a lighter wallet

I hate being ill. I am ill. I hate.

 Mastication and Deglutition

My diet was pretty ace. Like I mentioned I got those new Detour bars and they rocked. It's about time to slow the bulk a bit. I am starting to accumulate a little more fat than I'd like, so I'll be kicking it down a bit. Then, maintenance for a month and March will be cut time!

 Toil and Tribulation

Music : At The Drive In - Relationship of Command
Energy : Medium (not bad, all things considered)
Synopsis : I did this workout because I can't afford to miss it. I planned on taking it very easy, but it turns out I felt a bit stronger than I thought I would. My ears hurt and I was pretty sick, but it was decent.

        &n bsp; 

dips : +3x8, +28x8, +53x8, +78x8
        &n bsp; I'm not sure if this is a personal record or not, but I weigh a bit more now than the last time I did dips and I did +83x8,
        &n bsp; and these were still easy. Looking back, it is a PR. Go me...

        &n bsp; 

incline dumbbell press : 80x8, 80x8
        &n bsp; The second set was way easier. I bet I could do far better if I had someone to help me lower the ****a on my chest.

        &n bsp; 

dumbbell tricep extensions : 30x8, 35x8, 35x8
        &n bsp; Thirty-five was perfect this week.

 Torpidity and Lethargy

Total Sleep: 8ish hours
I tried to fall asleep about eleven, but that didn't work so well. I tossted and turned all night and finally fell asleep for good about 7:30am. I didn't go to work because I was pretty miserable from an earache and other crap. I'd say I got about 5 quality hours of sleep and 3 or more broken bits and pieces.

Update : Suspender Stan now smells like cat piss.

I'm pissed because this damned forum doesn't support the img tag.

My morning weight shifts a little but I think I average out to about 181lbs (180-185). I need a leg press, straps, or one more thin handled dumbbell. Looks like I'm getting the dumbbell. Next leg workout I should be able to do lunges again, which will help make something other than my knees sore.

 Mastication and Deglutition

Slowly lowering the calories to maintenance, then going isocaloric.

        &n bsp; 

Detour protein bar, 14oz milk
        &n bsp; 

3oz oatmeal, 2 cans of tuna in water
        &n bsp; 

2oz oatmeal, 20oz turkey
        &n bsp;

Synopsis : I am going to the chiropractor tonight. Tomorrow will be a back day if I can swing it. Get it? "Swing it" Hahahahaha! I got nothing.

 Torpidity and Lethargy

Total Sleep: 5 hours
I made the mistake of going out last night. I had to go to Wal*Mart to get some stuff and we ended up sitting at the Eat n' Park for 3 hours. It's fun and all, but sleep is more important. Got back home around 12:30 and by the time I got to sleep it was 1:15. Up at 6:30 to go to work

My best friend lost his job today. It right after Christmas and the company hires "personal assistants" for the two head bosses, buys some douche a $5k laptop, hires another douche to write a newsletter, then fires my friend because they can't afford to pay him. The other IT guy who works at the place is a complete retard. I've seen code this guy has written and it is pathethic. So, who takes it in ass? You guessed it - the 22 year old without a degree. He is so ****ed because it is hard enough to find a job in this field with a degree, let alone without one. He is talented and a good worker, but that doesn't mean anything in society anymore. I just wish there was more I could do.

I had a party that was dubbed the "Back to the Future Party" because, as you could probably guess, the theme was to watch all three Back to the Future movies. I invited my close friends and some guy who was sitting by us kinda asked to come, so I said it was cool. Most people were drinking and the night went on and this guy starts slapping peoples' asses. Guys and girls alike, but more guys than girls. Then, him and my guitar player go out to the car to, um, well...to get high. They came back a while later and the mood seemed a little off. The night is close to an end and he asks if he could crash and we said it was alright. I had a recliner, a futon, and an Aerobed (which my guitarist calls the "Eurobread") for them to choose. Well, the guitarist gets the Eurobread, my asian friend and her ex-boyfriend get the recliner, and my best girl-friend (I'll call her "Shmee") gets the futon. Well dude decides he wants to sleep on the futon with her. Not too cool. Then, he invites some of the guys to come up on the futon with the two of them...again not cool. I find out the next day that when he got out of the car he made a comment something like, "There's three of us and one of her [Shmee] and only one of us is going to **** her." WTF?!?!?! Who the **** does this ****ing homo think he is? First-off I think he is confused about his sexuality and second-off I think he is a total doucheSac for even saying something like that. He was not invited to my New Year's party and he got the clue. Rather than asking me if things were cool, he resorted to telling one of my good friends that he thinks I hate him. YES I ****ING HATE YOU YOU COCK SMOKING SON OF A BITCH. He knows I could crush his puny skull so he chooses the wise path of avoiding all contact with me. At least he is that smart. Here is where it gets tricky. My guitar player is in love (read:infatuated) with Shmee. He absolutely adores her, so you gotta imagine how this ****tard saying **** would piss him the hell off. Now things are all weird in the circle of friends and I get to hear about it from him, Shmee, AND my girlfriend (who happens to be Shmee's best friend). One more twist. The ex-bf of my asian friend ALSO likes Shmee. Shmee likes him as well, but because of my asian friend (a good friend of ours), and another ex-gf of his (who is also in the circle of friends), they can't hookup. Now, my guitar player is all upset because he kissed Shmee the other day and she doesn't want a relationship, but she'll still make out with him because she's been single so long she needs the affection.

Why do I tell you all of this? BECAUSE IT PISSES ME THE **** OFF. NO ONE IN THE CIRCLE NEEDS TO **** ANYONE ELSE IN THE CIRCLE EXCEPT MY GIRLFRIEND AND I. PERIOD. Things get way too complex and I don't want to have to complain to you people about it.

Teh End

and how does this stressor effect your training? for better or worst?
:confused:

galileo · 13-Jan-03, 12:54 PM

Can't tell if it effects much since I'm always stressed out! Working out is stress relief, so it's all good.

galileo · 10-Feb-03, 08:23 PM

dips: +100.5lbs x8 today.

The rest is uneventful.
