Sleep- 10 hours

The Day- 26th Mom had an early shift today, so she said she could drop me to the gym. Had a friend over, spent the day just playing playstation, what not, till my mom finally got home. I'm kind of having family **** to deal with right now, so it quite a hard patch I'm going through. Been pretty depressed lately, haven't had my mood set on doing anything. Diet hasn't been the cleanest for this reason, plus there isn't any chicken, meat, etc. in the house, so definitely need to buy some. Anyway, had a great session at the gym. Had all my anger, frustration thrown in there.

The Day- 27th Finally figured how to catch a bus to my gym. Had to go through 3 transfers. It took me about an hour and a half just getting there. Funny, because my mp3 player battery even died off by then.

Workout was alright. Didn't feel any massive losses in strength, just the weights felt a little bit heavier as the workout progressed. Pretty good really. Didn't feel much of a pump come through, though my arms started to kill me with burning after sets, they didn't get pumped. Stamina and energy was meh.

Didn't feel motivated at all. First there was no music to workout by and wow, I never realized how crappy it feels to workout in silence or your gym playing love songs. I totally broke out sweating today. I was completely drenched. I had sweat pouring right off my head and dripping down profusely. Arms didn't get as pumped as I have experienced before, but they did get soild to say the least. Didn't feel like a great workout, but it was.

Duration: 1hr 10 min

28th - Slept a rocking 14 hours. Was dead tired back from the gym, so I fell asleep at about 10, the next thing I remember is waking up a 12. Caught the bus to the gym, thought I'd get in a real shoulder workout. Also checked out the other gym on the way, well, let's just say it's a start. It's one small room jam packed with cardio machines and weight machines. It was a miracle just walking in there and not bumping all the people through. There's literally no place to do ****. The free weights section is about the smallest part of the room. Best part is, I see everyone standing around there and talking. The other people taking it seriously couldn't even get a proper set in without saving someone bang straight at them. Wow, I'm going to love this place for the next month till I find better. $60 bucks a month for this crap... my old gym looks a 1000 times better right about now.

29th - 8.5 hours sleep. Didn't do much. Called it an off day since I couldn't go.

Day 60- Sleeping has been pretty erratic. I can't get sleep at all at a normal time and end up sleeping quite late. Accordingly, wake up much later and easily average about 8-12 hours. Diet has been completely off. Haven't been counting calories and eating absolute crap. Got a great workout in the evening. Really happy I hit my set goal on squatting. Now I'm pushing for 270 in the next 2 weeks.

Day 61- Not much. Couldn't get to the gym today, so took an off.

Day 62 - Today was the day I decided enough of dicking around, I need to get back on track. I think I've gained an admirable amount of fat around the mid-section, but other than that, my upper torso look's rather good. So this is it, I'm back. No more crying about things. **** happens, just gotta be a bigger person and deal with it. Went for a short walk in the afternoon. My legs hated me for it. Wow, what a small period of being lazy can do to you Diet's back on track as well. Got a workout this evening.

Workout was awesome. Great energy for the initial duration of the workout, but later I found myself exhausted. I'm really happy with PR's I hit. The high rep thing I was doing has really helped. I am able to do more reps now with higher weights. It's great! Legs burned like crazy when streching. I had to take increasing rests as my legs just gave way. Serious stuff.

Man your log is the best, keep it up and a pleasure to read.

[xven]

Sorry, I haven't updated these past few days. Family **** really escalated, been too mind****ed to do about anything.

I finished my Green MAG 2 days ago. I haven't exactly been using lumped servings or anything, in fact, my scoop on many occasions was about 10-20% less then topped off, surprise to me it finished off so fast. I thought it was meant to last for 80 servings? Was meaning to ask this much earlier as I saw it finishing quite early but never got that through.

Diet has been back to normal for these past days except the 5th where it was a friends birthday.

I trained on 2nd and 3rd. Really in no condition to train these past few days. You'd think being completely mad and everything would get you a good workout, but not this time around. Working out with migraines isn't much fun and feeling like your going to faint just takes the cake.

Workout was quite boring. My mp3 player died on me, so once again, I was faced with working out with no music. Really just dragged myself though the whole workout. Wow, bummer huh.

Streching = 10 min

Workout felt quite good. Shoulders were pumped to no end. I got some insane rushing pains while streching. Stamina was in good gear. Makes a big difference working out to music than without.

-----------------

Again, I apoligise for not updating sooner. Really have been in no shape or form.

I will be back with a Final Review and pics on Green MAG.

I haven't exactly been using lumped servings or anything, in fact, my scoop on many occasions was about 10-20% less then topped off, surprise to me it finished off so fast. I thought it was meant to last for 80 servings? Was meaning to ask this much earlier as I saw it finishing quite early but never got that through.

You used 10-20% less than a full scoop on many occasions and started off using half a serving, and still barely got about 60 days out of it? I sure hope the "80 servings" claim isn't just to compete with other 80 serving creatines like storm, etc...

[MASTER175]

Great log, The green mag scoop was to big so you kinda got screwed over
but you do get some free stuff,
