Training- Day Off


Diet- All meals in


Comments- Just spent time with my son after work, and tried to relax. I watched '8 Simple Rules' last night. It was where the Dad(John Ritter) Died and they were coping with his loss. Man was I on the verge of tears for the whole episode. I was sitting with my Mom and Dad, so I had to hold the tears back so they wouldn't see me cry. Damn this Clomid!!

 

[TheJackal]

Mike what are you weighing now man??? Got any recent pics??? Nice DB strength BTW.

 

[crazymike]

No, the most recent ones are already in the pics forum, they are a few weeks old.
I am feeling a little flat and feeling like I don't look that good right now.(Post cycle blues most likely!)

So I will probably wait another month before I post any more pics.

As far as weight. I haven't lost any weight really. So I am still about 235 or so.

Comments- Well I get to the gym, I opened the back seat, and what do I see? NOTHING! I forgot my damn gym bag at home!! So I had to workout in my work clothes(Jeans and a t-shirt). I didn't even have my straps so I had to take some from Lost-and-Found!!LOL
Anyway, the workout was pretty good. A little uncomfortable, but felt good. I decided to start doing traps on shoulder day instead of with back. See if that helps spark new growth.

Overall Comments

Well this past week I was pff of work for 3 days straight. Those 3 days I ate pretty well, but I don't think it was enough food. It is hard to stick on schedule when i am not at work. I think I have lost a few lbs. Not sure exactly how much.
Clomid is doing it's job. I will get tested in a couple more weeks to make sure.
Workouts have been pretty good. I have lost some noticeable strength, but I am still focused and getting good intense workouts

Comments- Very good leg workout today. This new program for legs is really working. I have still the same amount of BF, yet my legs are getting really vascular and I can see striations in them. Which is really rare considering my BF is kind of high right now.
So starting in December, I will probably start doing this type of workout for all bodyparts!

Comments- Had the day off of work today, so i spent a lot of time with my son. I had to go see a court fascilitator to see about reducing my child support payments due to my wage reduction.

[fullongive]

[jinzor]

Hey

You know my lifts are the same or even heavier than yours, but damnn i think you are bigger than me. i weigh like 270 6'2, but damn...where can i get some juice!!!!!!!!

 

[G2]

Gee dude I would say your pretty big for all natural.

 

[Muraco]

Hey Mike,
Saw your diet...pretty good! That is a lot of food! I usually get in 5-6 meals, but always trying to eat more as I think that is a BIG key for more size and bodyweight. And one of the things I need to get better at...eating more. Do you not like eggs? I usually eat 12 egg whites in the morning for breakfast, along with either a pot of oatmeal or a couple wholewheat pancakes. Thanks, bro...

I like eggs, I just don't have time in the morning to cook. So the shake is the easiest for me. I am not a morning person either, so the less work I need to do, the better!!

 

[dvssky]

Any pics after post cycle therapy (pct) bro? or are those pics in the pic forum the ones?

 

[dvssky]

^^^What I mean is do you have pics right after your cycle when you would be at your best and after post cycle therapy (pct) when your natural levals are back up.It would be interesting to see the differance if theres any
