it was just a joke dude...not about your lifts or anything...just tying together..medicine..and tampons

Ask questions? At this point, I don't think we're even attempting the same sport.

I do have one question for you actually. I've been reading through the nutrition forum and noticed you posted a lot of info on pre/post meals. I'm still reading, but there's a ton of info and I start to get a little confused at times. Is there a simple answer to what one should eat/drink before and after a workout? I didn't know if there's a premixed powder or something I should order that would take all the guesswork out of this. I'm obviously a much smaller and weaker guy at almost 185lbs. But it seems like I'm missing out on a major portion of my progress right now because of my lack of knowledge. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

60% MPI - Milk Protein Isolate (which is 80% casein / 20% whey)
40% Whey Concentrate (which is the same quality as ON's 100% whey mix of isolate)

Really cheap, good slow digestion which I use between meals and postworkout.

Preworkout depends on how much time you have. A small meal an hour prior works well for me. But since I usually lift within an hour of waking up, I usually have two scoops of whey protein w/ some type of carb such as a banana or a 1/2 cup oatmeal.. Even an eggo waffle would work for me. The important part is the protein, which for me is whey protein (50 grams).

Postworkout I have my simple carbs first (dextrose) w/ creatine, ect. Then usually wait 10 minutes later for my TP protein mix along with some slower digesting carbs. After that, always follow up with a whole meal comprised of LOTS of protein and some carbs. It's all very basic, but highly effective.

Thanks a ton man! I need to make a few adjustments, but nothing too major.

i had no idea bananas had that many carbs...looks like i'll be switching around my banana eating times

It's not a lot. I eat a large banana preworkout just to fill my stomach. I'd say it has 30-40 grams tops. And that's only preworkout.

WEEK SEVEN HIGHLIGHTS:

Flat Bench: Ramped up a couple of triples to 365 x 3.

Deadlift: 505 x 3 (belted/chalk)

Squat: 405 x 3, 3, 3

Pendlay Rows: 345 x 3, 3, 3

Bench: 345 x 3, 3, 3

----------------------------------

Tis the premature END of this program. Yesterday my left pec was "sore" from flat bench so I stopped early and left. Early warning signs like that I take extremely seriously. So I quit after 7 weeks of incredible progress. Consistancy + hard work = Killer results!

So as per my usual plans, no more barbell bench for a while. DB's, weighted dips, ect are gonna be worked in hard and heavy. Never had a problem with those since I keep my arms so compact to my body. Got my new routine worked out and it's gonna be a good change of pace. CUTTING has finally begun! 5 days of cardio, 3 days weightlifting, good frequency, and most importantly... Strict dieting!

I probably won't be maintaining this journal for a while since there's really not anything fun to highlight beyond the normal bull****.

Congrats on making so much progress. I know it feels extremely good when a plan comes together and goals are achieved. Again congrats and be careful with the pec. Take care man.

Thanks a lot. Certainly it's pretty tough to stick to one thing over and over week in and out, but the proof is in the pudding!
