"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"

Hey Talo

How you like Redpoint Fitness?

I noticed your journal on IAs site too, Just wondering how the product shapes up in your opinion? I was thinking of joining up for a month or two mainly to get a good idea of some dieting strategies.

HIThopper's Sig:

There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you'd rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a Fucking Pussy. I have no time or patience for Fucking Pussies. Please tell everyone you know that I said this.- Mark Rippetoe

It's well worth it. Only $18 / month. The knowledge base that is over there is incredible.
I basically joined for the same reason you said ( diet strategies ) but I think I will stay committed for awhile. It's like having 5 or 6 personal trainers when you need them. I'm on my 4th week and loving it.

June 12

Incline Bench Press 5x5 ( 185 )
- this was a light weight , but I haven't done these in such a long time I wasn't sure where to start.

Flat Bench 5x10 ( 225 )
-harder than I thought

DB shoulder press 3x10 (60's)

Lat Raises 3x12 ( 30's)

Pushdowns 4x10 ( 160 )
-this was the stack, could have gone heavier.

NOTES: Wanted to workout this morning - woke up at 4am and slammed a shake and took some pills. Was at the gym by 4:30 , took awhile to get into it , as I'm use to waking up this early. Finished by 5:30 and at work for 6:30. I think I will continue to workout in the am when I'm on day shift.
Weight at the gym was 103 kg down from 106kg .
