Swooshie's Journal.

[swooshie]

Last night was my first dose too and I agree with your assessment about the taste/scent. Also, the outside of the pills have a different texture than what I am used to. It wasn't anything bad just caught me off guard!

I was just glad I got those bad boys down ...... my dog's not too good with the Heimlich Maneuver Actually, they went down pretty easily and absolutely no issues with aftertaste or side effects

Looking good Swooshie..Interested to see how the AppNut works for you..

Thanks Lonnie! 1st night's recap coming up!

Hi Swooshie ..............................

Well hello there

Swooshie shoulders of peace!

Totally

[swooshie]

Great stuff, Swooshie! Looking forward to following along...

You found me! Glad to have you, bb

Hi swoosh!!

Helloooooooooooooo nicest guy ever

Got it, knew it was a little different! Next dose I take will be right before bed since it has a slow release.

Yup, I like on top of new profiles, there's a little few new changes as well. I hear Free Test XRT and Drive is something you might be able to taste

Um....this journal is about me


*Note to self ...... post up better pictures

Everyone's invited to come in here and chatter away ..... I'll usually throw a couple of steaks on the grill for ya

1st Night Recap on HG4 UP





I downloaded a little sleep app on my cell phone (SleepBot) which records the number of hours I sleep each night and has a cool little graph of my movements ....IN MY SLEEP ....(oh the possibilities) .... so, last night's graph




First off, technically I went to bed this morning This is my big, big, really big problem. I am a night person and I stay up late. However, you can see by the graph that I had somewhat of a disruptive sleep last night and I was awake quite a bit of the night .... but.....I was full of energy all day long! So I'm chalking that up to a plus for the HG4 UP. I think I'll record my sleep all 5 nights I take the supplement and see what will hopefully be an improvement in sleep quality. I will also work very hard to go to sleep before it's actually the next day

This app also has the option to record sound ........... good god, would never want to know that I snore, or say weird things in my sleep, or that my dog and cat actually can speak and have thoughtful conversations in the middle of the night, or that I have a ghost living in my house or something .... honestly, who would want to know that stuff?

Workout coming up .....

P.S. If you think those weights look wussie, Google GIRONDA'S 8X8 and give it a try. You too will proudly be lifting wussie weights and dying. It's brutal.

[lonniej]

That workout is simply amazing!! No wussie weights in that routine, I would be dying!!

How long you going to be on that 8x8 program??

[lonniej]

BTW, nice recap..Got a chuckle out of the write-up on the sound app!!

[MetFan]

Hi Swoosh,

That looks like an absolutely brutal session. Crazy enough that I may want to try it for a couple weeks after I attain my strength goals.

As for those being wussy weights? You squat more than most guys in my gym, add to the fact you are getting 30 seconds rest between sets. For that you get a round of applause.

[infernoaudio]

A little late to the game it seems, but sub'd! Great start!

[sloop]

.... and has a cool little graph of my movements ....IN MY SLEEP ....(oh the possibilities) ....

...This app also has the option to record sound ........... good god...

In for those updates

I'm excited to try HG4 UP too, it's so new I don't think any of us reps have even tried it yet. Although I've been a big fan of HGH UP since my first bottle, I hope HG4 lives up.

I'll likely graph my sleep patterns using my fitbit when I start taking it just out of curiosity.

[jjeane]

GOod word, them 8x8's. I would just die so I didn't have to lift anything else!!!
Recording noise while you sleep, no thanks. The makes of that app had some dirty minds!!

[AntM1564]

I hit legs yesterday too and can barely walk today. Is that app on Android, how much?

[Zenshi]

Swooshie, I looked at your sleep post and thought, "this is a nice peaceful thread on how to sleep better". Then I looked at your workout post and almost had a heart attack.

That is some fierce workout!

[obey46]

Heck of a workout! Interested in seeing how the recovery goes afterwards.

Lol. Me, too!

[swooshie]

Did I just read steaks?

You're doing great so far!

Yes, I love a good steak on the grill! You have an open invitation

Thanks!

BTW, nice recap..Got a chuckle out of the write-up on the sound app!!

Thanks, lonnie! I believe I've been running it for about 8 or 9 weeks now. I did zero workouts when I was in Key West on vacation .... except turn over in my chair at the beach .... oh and a couple of arm workouts reapplying suntan lotion ... so maybe 8 weeks total. I feel like I'm having good results with the program and they are wicked fast and just plain wicked so I'm planning on sticking with it for at least another 4 weeks or so. I get bored with programs pretty quickly and I have not with this one, so that's a big plus.

Hey MetFan!

Google Gironda 8x8 and you'll get a good idea of the program. Very fast workouts ... you're supposed to complete them in 45 minutes or less and have no more then 30 second rest periods and I've never been so sore in my entire life when I started the program. It's supposed to help lean you out with a minimum of muscle loss, and I think it's working for me. I'd love to hear your opinion if you do give it a try. Throw it in for a week just for a change of pace!

You can't imaging how many times I feel like puking during leg day. I honestly am just now able to get through it. The first month I couldn't even finish leg day and I've been training with weights for about 7 years........

It sure helps with this

[swooshie]

A little late to the game it seems, but sub'd! Great start!

Hey Inferno! Great to have you Thanks!

You know it

I've never tried anything by AppNut. So far I'm impressed! I'm a teensy bit OCD (teensy ) so graphs and monitoring stuff is just right up my OCD alley!

GOod word, them 8x8's. I would just die so I didn't have to lift anything else!!!
Recording noise while you sleep, no thanks. The makes of that app had some dirty minds!!

Um ... I've seen what you lift my friend. Well one advantage to the 8 x 8 is that I can walk over to those 12 lb bad boy DBs and be like ..... hey, I'm gonna do like a million so there

X rated app costs an extra $4.99

I hit legs yesterday too and can barely walk today. Is that app on Android, how much?

Hiya Ant App is FREE! Yep, on Android and it's called SleepBot.

I'll share my walker with you ... I know the feel

Hi Zen Today was a rest day. Everything hurts!

Heck of a workout! Interested in seeing how the recovery goes afterwards.

Lol. Me, too!

Thanks guys! Sleep and recovery update coming up ...........

[swooshie]

OMG Slept sooooooooooo good last night!!! Check this out ~



Check out the 7 hours!!!

I'm pretty sure that one blip there early in the morning was my dog jumping on the bed to take it over I have a huge king-size bed and a cat and a 65lb Golden Retriever and those two animals can hog that bed like nobody's business .... get off!!!!

Here's a comparison of night 1 on HG4 UP and night 2 ......

First night on HG4 UP ... kind of restless all night long ...



and last night ..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz




Pretty cool, huh!

At this point, I'm sticking with 3 capsules a night instead of 4. It's working well! I'm pretty sore today from that leg workout, but my DOMS will usually be the worst the 2nd day, so I'll wait to gauge my recovery.

Happy Wednesday!

[PappaBear76]

Congrats on the amazing sleep! Nice log. IN!

Thanks, I may just try it out, but trying to gain as much strength as I can for the log I am running as the theme is GAINZ.

Oh my, you have sculpted some lovely ASSets.

Not sure I am ready to picture myself in shorts such as those, and umm, well, you are doing such a wonderful job modelling yours, that might have to suffice. Pardon me, I am Canadian, I don't know what I am going on abooty.

Excuse me, just remembered that it's time for unnamed forearm exercises.

I admire your grit!! I did Gethin's DTP over a year ago and occasionally think about doing it again but I still haven't worked up the courage to start it..I believe the 8 x 8 is even more grueling, I'd probably collapse half way through..

Nice pic!!

[NEBinAK]

How did I miss this one

[AntM1564]

When did you start training? By the two pics you've put in here, you look nothing close to 56

Happy Wednesday!

Well one day when you try my 8x8 program don't forget to thank me

I admire your grit!! I did Gethin's DTP over a year ago and occasionally think about doing it again but I still haven't worked up the courage to start it..I believe the 8 x 8 is even more grueling, I'd probably collapse half way through..

Nice pic!!

Mutual grit admiration, Lonnie I love my 8x8 program. No collapsing though!

How did I miss this one

I don't know?!!! Plus you live on my side of the world!

[swooshie]

When did you start training? By the two pics you've put in here, you look nothing close to 56

Thanks, Ant! I'll actually be 57 in about a month!

I've always played sports, but I didn't start to seriously lift weights until about 7 years ago when a soccer injury put me in physical therapy and I quit running. Had to do something, so I hit the weight room and never looked back. Best thing I ever did for myself

Dat pic ...



Sounds like you're off to a great start with the workouts and HG4-Up. Hope the good sleep continues

Thank you, Kenshin

Yes, I'm having great success with much improved sleep on HG4-Up. Had some interesting dreams last night too!

I like what you have to say here post pic enough said

LOL wishin! You know I love to "talk"

[swooshie]

Oh Andrik (um, you changed your name I see) ...

You're right, that pic was from the famous Mei and Swooshie ProMera log ... but it's only about 6 months old. Here's a new one I took today, per your request ... and yes, we need a Gun Show!




Happy Friday!!! I'll be back with a couple of workouts and some pillow talk
