Day 2:

Morning:

Had a horrible nights sleep, mostly to do with the minor bit of conjunctivitis I seem to have at the moment and trying to kick my cold out. Still, after taking the supplements I didn't feel particularly relaxed and even felt a bit paranoid/depressed. I think unrelated to supplements though.

Took the stack at 1130 today (slept in to kick out my illness) and its helped me feel less like death () so far today.

Will train later but it might be overly intense because of feeling ill, in true Nick style i'll battle through it though.

I'll also weigh myself at the gym.

Evening:

Just got back from the gym. I weighed 15 stone and 7 lbs (217 lbs) or roughly 95.5kgs.

I was feeling really really rough (see above... ) on and off in the gym but i felt that I got a good pump, perhaps from the supplements.

Weights:

Standing dumbell bicep curls:
10kg dumbells for 15 reps each arm.
3 sets 20kg dumbells for 8,7,6 reps each arm
15kg dumbells for 8 reps

Skullcrushers (i.e. the tricep part of pullovers):
30kg dumbell for 8 reps pre-exhaustion followed by 40kg dumbell for 12,10,10,7 reps

Standing Z-Bar bicep curls, slow negative:
35kg for 10,10,8 aiming for super slow

Tricep Pulldowns (V Bar):
Full stack (75kg) for 15,12,10,8

So i make that 8 sets of biceps and triceps.

Other notes: I experienced a pump earlier than I have previously

Before Bed:

Today has mostly been a battle against illness and loss of apetite to eat everything necessary, I still managed to hit about 4500 calories even with this taken to account, about 325 grams protein.

I hope that I can sleep well tonight. Along with the stack and all of my pre-bed supps i took 2 paracetamol, 2 ibruprofen and 1 pseudoephedrine for decongestant properties.

Feeling quite a bit of pain in my arms following the workout today, again a feeling of pump or increased awareness of the muscles is apparent.

Good night !
