Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: July 05, 2010, 03:35:05 pm »
A couple nights ago I had a dream where I was talking with Mark Sisson* on the beach. He was wearing board shorts. He kept saying the dumbest shit, just repeating his spiel over and over, and I was just cracking up, asking him if he knew how dumb he sounded and how little sense he was making. He had this kind of perplexed look on his face the whole time but he never stopped talking, even as I was doubled over laughing right in front of him. It got to the point where I couldn't even breathe in and then I woke up.

Let's go Germany. Don't tell my roommate, though, he's a depressed mess. Some Germans gave him a bit of light heckling as he was walking home after the game and his response was to give them the finger and yell, "FUCK YOU!" really loud. He wasn't joking.

cont'd from vag's log
...Anyway, thinking about fencing practice, it's basically 90% technique work/drills and 10% bouts. There is no other conditioning, except some running. You get all the conditioning from some of the technique stuff (imagine iso-holding in a half squat while moving forwards and backwards while not moving your torso at all -- for 20 minutes), and they could care less if you do a pushup or lift a weight.*
Thinking about that now, I don't really know how it transfers to the way I train today. I definitely have no problem taking rest days; I get that they're important. And I love the weight room, probably a little too much. Honestly I should probably get back closer to the way I trained in middle school and high school: more technique, more frequently.
*At my MT session this morning, the lady started on my left leg and basically went top to bottom. And as soon as she moved from my left leg to my right she commented that there's a lot more definition there and it's a log bigger than my left. After all these years, I'm still noticeably asymmetrical because of my fencing posture. The MT was awesome though, I made an appointment for next week. But shiiiiiiiiiiit it hurt. I think I'm gonna have a bruise on my left calf.

No insult intended, I just find it funny that anyone has bought Surge. If you want to keep funneling cash to those shysters, knock yourself out. I'll stick with my chocolate milk mixed with whey concentrate.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Pre/Post workout Supplements
« on: July 01, 2010, 04:14:08 pm »What is everyone taking for pre/post workout supplements, if at all? Right now i am doing this:
1st half of training: 1/2 serving of biotest surge workout fuel with 24g whey
2nd half of training:1/2 serving of biotest surge workout fuel.
Immediately after training: 50g whey
1-1.30h after - Post workout meal with 50g protein and 50-80g carbs
Will throw in a serving of surge recovery and 12g whey before heavy squats. Like dong this as i have tons of energy and i am able to maintain/increase strength while dropping fat slowly.
During my bodybuilding days i have done this with great results in strength and size:
30 mins before: 2 scoops of biotest surge workout fuel
15 mins before: 2 scoops biotest surge recovery
During: 1 scoop of biotest surge recover + 12g of whey
Immediately after: 50g whey
1-1.30h after - Post workout meal with 50g protein and 50g carbs.
I thought the above protocol was great for adding size and strength with minimal fat gain, but was expensive though!

It's 9:15 and I've been at work for 12 hours now. Looking like no workout today. Hamstring is feeling better, though, and I contacted the PT (although no appointment set yet).
