Verne thank-you low carbs are a bitch, I was feeling pretty depleted and low Friday but feedback like yours really is a big help to bolster moral.

Saturday I paid for the squat session, we trained cardio hams and calves in the morning, really trying to fry the muscles as this was the last time we were touching thighs before the show. (I know it’s a way out but it seems to work for me) In the evening I was having a mooch round Musclechat and moved my chair forward using my hamstring and boy did it cramp, never had one anywhere near like it, I had to shout H to come and massage it, as I just couldn’t seem to move and my lower leg was contracted hard against the bottom of the chair. So I had an extra multi mineral and a couple of litres of water extra.

What a difference two days can make, I managed to hit 500 gram of carbohydrate on Saturday and about 400 gram yesterday, this morning I look like a different person, much fuller and vascular with definition I haven’t had before and amazingly weighing over 80K.

I’ve been reading up about cracked wheat which has a low GI yet approx 75% complex carbohydrates. Now perhaps not the best time to start mucking around with carb sources but I wasn’t feeling very clever so though nothing ventured nothing gained… So Saturday I bought a couple of kilos of the stuff, it’s even blander than rice but really seems to work for me. Today I’m dropping the carbs back to approx 100gram for a couple of days with a view to a moderate day later in the week.

I’m off the antibiotics and the swelling in my shoulder now looks pretty superficial with no localised muscle swelling so I’m also feeling a whole lot happier about that.
