This is my first log, so if there's anything I forgot just let me know. I've been a big fan of all the Thermolife reps here, so I have great expectations of their supplement line :cool: dito tried to get me hooked on G-tek chewables :o so I've decided to go with the tablets for this log. Oh yeah, this is an unsponsored log.

DAY TWO: SHOULDERS/TRAPS/CALVES/CARDIO

This morning's cardio session was outstanding! About a month ago I was using Shock Therapy preworkout and I really liked the energy/focus I experienced using it, but I REALLY like the feeling I'm getting from the Stizm/Dicana combo. The energy is awesome! I know it's a little early on in the log to come to conclusions...but I'm definitely loving these products :) I'm off to tan, but I'll be back with my afternoon workout update and pictures. Enjoy your days!

FINAL UPDATE

After this mornings breakfast, my wife and I went grocery shopping and picked up some more basics(tuna, salmon, chicken, veggies, steel cut oats, milk, etc.) We also went to this place out here in Hawaii called Down to Earth which is a so called "Health Food" store. We found some pretty good stuff to toss into my diet. I did another 15 minutes of tanning and here's a look back at the rest of the day:

10:30am-Protein bar(Labrada Rockin' Roll Trail Mix Bar)
1:00pm-Lunch: 2 boneless chicken breasts, brown rice and mixed veggies. Supplements: 1 Dicana Capsule, Adam, Sesamin, CLA, Fish Oil, Garlic, Pottasium, Joint Health

Cardio- 20 minutes of Sprint/Rest intervals on the Precor EFX(~350 calories burned)

Another excellent workout with plenty of energy to spare :) Not much else to say except I felt strong and focused the entire time. My damn camera broke so unfortunately I won't be able to post pictures today :( but I will definitely get a new camera tomorrow, so calm down :D On to the rest of the day:

6:30pm- Post Workout: 4 G-tek Tablets, 1 scoop Storm and 2 scoops ON Gold Standard.
8:00pm- Dinner: Mesquite Salmon Filet, Fat Free Cheese, mixed veggies wrapped in a fiber pita. Supplements: 1 Dicana Capsule, Sesamin, CLA, Fish Oil, Joint Health.

Before bed tonight I will have 1 scoop of Probolic-SR and ZMA. Oh yeah, this morning I weighed myself before cardio and the scale said 199lbs?? I started this thing out at 205lbs so I figure the majority of that was water. I weighed myself again before this evenings training session and I was 202lbs. I think I'm gonna weigh myself only at the beginning and end of each week from now on unless anyone requests otherwise. If those who are following the log feel it's a bit wordy, just let me know and I'll try to tone it down a bit. My tanning isn't coming along that great, I think you'll see why I say this when you see tomorrows pics :o I hope everyone had a bad ass day today! :) GOOD NIGHT!!

Alrighty, again I'll be taking my ZMA and most likely 1 scoop of Ultra Peptide tonight. Since I only used one serving of G-Tek today I'll probably pop 4 tablets along with my shake. I was going to show you guys my "tan" but I was too embarrassed to show my sun burn off :o Tomorrow is leg day so I'm gonna get some shut eye :) AUF WIEDERSEHEN!

I upped the intensity quite a bit during this morning's cardio session and I was very pleased with the sustained energy!

I'll let the readers decide :) These pictures were taken post cardio this morning:

I wish I could describe it, but the closest thing I can think of is: being in a situation where you KNOW that things are gonna go your way?? Somethin' like that :) My chest felt extremely pumped post workout but I decided to go ahead and do some weighted pushups when I got home ;)

:D Yeah, that was my wife's idea :cool: I wasn't able to update yesterday 'cause I switched from Verizon to Road Runner so I didn't have internet up until late last night. Anyways, yesterday was back and cardio and today will be shoulders and cardio. Not a single complaint for my first week using these supplements...looking forward to the next three :)

I decided to just do cardio only yesterday... and I also found out my family is coming out to visit the next couple of weeks :o I'm worried that I won't be able to update as often as I was hoping but I will stick to my diet/routine as much as possible and update when I can.

Hey Jive :)

Well, I've had quite an interesting month to say the least. A lot of family issues to sort through which required my full attention. I've been out of the gym for most of the month but I got back in to it yesterday. Things have calmed down a bit so I just wanted to check in and apologize for not being able to finish my log :(
