Just picked up a set of Weider adjustable dumbbells and stand from Sears to supplement the Bodylastics resistance bands for training. Got an adjustable Weider bench for the dumbbells as well.

Did you break them in yet?

Wanted to but I spent the evening constructing the dumbbell rack and then the adjustable bench. I got both put together but the adjustable bench needs a larger socket than I have. After work, I will have to stop by a tool shop and get the appropriate size socket to tighten up the bench. Sucks when that **** happens. You look forward to using it and then have to wait.

Between prepping some food, spring cleaning, and finishing up putting together the dumbbell rack and adjustable bench...it got late fast. Took three capsules of ErgoZZZ's before bed. Got to bed a little later then I would have liked but had a solid night of sleep with strong dreams. Some reason, I dreamed I was back competing in track in high school. Makes no sense whatsoever. ZMA pushed off my bathroom break until the morning. This is a solid, inexpensive sleep stack.

It is like ordering a supplement and it takes way too long to arrive. You lose some of that initial excitement.

Sounds like ErgoZzz is working great for you It is a very solid an inexpensive sleep aid and with the BOGO right now makes it even better.

I am very grateful and happy for this opportunity. BOGO saves a buyer a lot of money and can make great gifts (extra bottles) to pass on to friends.

I had no idea sears carried dumbbells. I may need to pick some of this up. I slept like crap again last night and for $ 12 its worth a shot.

They had better deals than Dunham's Sports and Sports Authority here. The Power Blocks feel like you are sticking your hand in a weight box and lifting it. Just doesn't feel right.

If it's been asked already, I missed it, how is DDP Yoga treating you?

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Has the groggy sensation seemed to fade? Noticed you haven't mentioned it much.

I use it to take a break from the demands resistance training puts on one's body. You are using only your bodyweight and building strength-endurance while also working on flexibility. It provides good variety to my training.

The diet plan is really good for the obese person. If you go gluten-free, you will drop weight. I did it for a while put struggled too much trying to keep my bodyweight up.

I have not really noticed it lately. Good point.

I need to work on my flexibility
Always say I want to try something like that but never do

Your ability to flex?

In all seriousness, I looked into DDP Yoga a while back and it looks pretty legit for what it is. OP is just the only person I've seen doing it. I might give it a try too.

Stretching for me is boring...much like running on a treadmill. The yoga forces me to focus on the task at hand and presents a variety of challenges (especially for the inflexible) that one can try to conquer.

Three capsules of ErgoZZZ were taken before bed. My wife was tired so turned off the TV completely at around 11pm. What a blessing! I would actually be going to bed at 10:30pm if I could though. Feel asleep very quickly with the TV being off and had strong dreams again last night. Did have to get up for a bathroom break at around 4am. That is still a two hour delay if I was not using ErgoZZZ. The groggy feeling has left me and I have had a couple nights of pretty good sleep by my standards.

[Starkk]

Great updates, I do yoga on occasion as well when my body demands it.

I sometimes get knots in my muscles that massage (even deep tissue) can't get out and I'll go perform some hot yoga in the 105 degree room for an hour and when I get out, I'm a new man.

It was nice to have some variety in training from the Bodylastics resistance bands. Neuromuscular coordination takes a bit of a hit when you go from various resisted pushups to dumbbell work. Took three capsules of ErgoZZZ before bed. I was feeling a bit tired before taking the ErgoZZZ so I would have fallen asleep almost instantly if my wife did not keep talking last night. When she stopped, I feel asleep shortly after. Very strong dreams but had to make a bathroom stop at 3:30am. Took me a while to fall back asleep after that so I woke up a bit groggy in the morning. Chest has some DOMS from the more isolated work dumbbells provide over bodyweight+band training.

Yea I know the feels. I could never use them either.

The one thing I liked about them is that they are expandable to heavier weights.

[wishiwasdivin]

Lol my wife is just like yours loves to talk.

I took three capsules of ErogZZZ before heading to bed. Wife was watching TV and actually caught my interest with a old UFC fight between Hendricks and Conduit (spellings) on cable. After that I had her put on the headphones while she watched GSP vs. Diaz. Passed out quickly after the TV volume was turned off. Seem to now have a pattern of waking up around 4am to make a bathroom visit. Did not wake up as groggy this morning. Another forum member asked me to try just one capsule and see what happens. That is the dose I will be using on Friday night.

Condit is fighting this weekend after being out of action for a while. One of my favorite fighters.
