100g caffiene
5g l-lutamine

Let's see what happens!
Okay, that was too much glucose powder

I'm cutting it to 85g. (Version 2)

I was gonna say! 150g is a buttload.....even people trying to bulk don't take in that much pre w/o,

Nice job on the military presses......that's a tough move.

Actually, the military press isn't so bad - the hardest exercises for me are the supine cable curls (especially with the straight bar) and the dumbell presses.

From yesterday's workout:
Lat pulldowns: 130x3 (went down, I switched from parallel grip to traditional wide grip. I think I might switch back - I hate that wide grip)
Rows: 100x6 (went up, switched to parrallel grip )
Supine cable curls: 40x7 (went down, switched from bent bar to straight bar. Straight bar is much harder - I like it a lot)

Started suicide sets! Lift to failure, take off 5 pounds, lift to failure, take off 5 pounds...until I'm struggling to lift 10 pounds

I'm going to try taking some glucose powder (weight gainer) right before my workouts, and then right after - so I can actually keep functioning.

Thanks for showing me the error of my ways

Today was crap - I ate too much for lunch, lifted earlier that I wanted to, and had to stop early (I have two sick little boys at home). Eating a lot of food really saps your energy.

I've decided to lift 3 days then rest 3 days. That will give each muscle 6 days rest, and allow me to be in low-carb mode for 4 days (since I'm trying TKD right now and supplementing with 100g glucose and 40g protein after lifting).

Ha, never saw anything like that before. Looks like its got the right stuff going on for calves and thighs; not sure about whether there's much happening with the upper body. Thanks, would have gotten back earlier, but! I spent the last week skiing in BC - and no internet access - mixed blessing

Had more stamina than I thought I would, though the really long, steep, heavily mogulled runs were definitely a go for it once or twice a day thing. Just didn't have the leg strength to do more. I want to change that - the slide board looked like it might be good for aerobics, too, which wouldn't be all bad - I finished more than one run breathing hard!

Hope the sick boys are getting better rapidly-

Tricep pushdowns: 65x8

Here's the revised plan:

Every day: Low-calorie, 80% calories from fat, eat small portions only when really hungry. Exercise hungry!
Day 1: Upper body, pull. 50g carb/50g protein shake immediately post-workout.
Day 2: Lower body, push. 50g carb/50g protein shake immediately post-workout.
Day 3: Legs, shrugs. 50g carb/50g protein shake immediately post-workout.
Day 4: Triceps. 40g protein shake immediately post-workout.
Day 5: Biceps. 40g protein shake immediately post-workout.
Day 6: Rest
