Its very cheap,84 pence a box from the Spa shop near me thats about 60 cents if that!Might be like drinking tile paste so chuck in a banana or other fruit! ______________________ "Practice puts brains in your muscles" |

I did eventually reach 159 lbs. but it took alot longer to get to that weight...As soon as I stop seeing good gains I will have to re-evaluate my diet and put a little more thought into it...probably will have to make the decision to add supplements although my budget really won't be able to handle that...I am eating differantly know than before and most of my meals settle easily so maybe I can just add a few extras to the meals I already have in place...We will cross that bridge when we get to it...Thanks also Young Gun and Wogi...I'm please with my pull lifts but not really with my push...My old training partner should be back in a month or so and that will surely change...It's kinda his specialty...My PB ( max ) lift on Bench was 205 lbs w/ my reconstructed shoulder so if I can get to that stage again I will be pleased with myself. I don't think I will push it much past that as I do have fear of how much my shoulder can really take...I have no room for error, if I hurt myself now, I will lose my job, house and thats not a risk I'm willing to take for a recreation...Thanks all for checkin in on me I'll chat with you later...Cheers... ______________________ The little men who live behind my eyes and scream directly at my brain told me to tell you hello.

Also another thing you have to consider if your bodys used to small meals ect then your stomach is going to take time to expand to take on the new volume of food being put through it. Think about it Marcellus and bubba didnt start off eating 2 family size buckets of KFC for breakfast with 3ltrs of coke. it took years of abuse where they gradualy ate more and more gradualy... Anyway your doing fine, just listen to your body - keep pushing the weights but dont get dissapointed if nothing happens or you go backwards on the weights on some sessions. The diffrence between a amature and a pro is the amature say will get 200lbs on bench one week for 10 but next week he only get 8 reps! whats happened!!! he gets pissed off and it ruins his workout. the pro thinks "8 reps, ah well.." and continues enjoying his workout- he knows that on average his progress will continue and its just a short term blip nothing more. It wont affect overall progress. |
