    Day 57



    Saturday Rest Day

    I was feeling lazy this morning and just mixed my Green Mag in water. Tomorrow, I will get back on the slushie quest though. Today, I am heading up to the Brown's preseason game at 7:00, so I am pretty excited about that. Should make for a good time. I also went and saw SuperBad last night. It was absolutly hilarious. It was pretty much just as funny as Knocked Up, which I really liked also. Anyone looking for a good laugh should definitely check it out.

      Day 58



      Sunday Rest Day

      Green Mag slushies came out almost perfect today. First, I chopped up 6 ice cubes in our slushie maker. Then, I mixed a scoop of Mag in about 3 ounces of water. I poured that into the ice shavings and mixed it a little. The only thing I could even consider complaining about is I used maybe a tad too much water. I think 2.75 ounces might be perfect. The taste was awsome though. I absolutly loved it. Anyways, yesterday I went to the Brown's game and got to see Brady Quinn come in and play AMAZING in the 4th quarter. Sure it was against the third stringers, but it was still very encouraging and a step up from what the other QBs showed. It was very exciting. Nothing too much planned for today. Just a solid rest day

        Workout Thoughts:
        Well, at first you might look at this workout and think that it wasnt that great because my reps are lower then in previous weeks. This isnt really the case though. I have noticed that while the rest of my body is experiencing some great growth, my chest has been somewhat stagnant. We all know that means its time to switch up the training method. I have decided that I am going to slow everything down for a few weeks. This means that you probably wont be seeing many new PRs in chest the next few workouts because I am instead going to focus on slowing the movement way down. Switching my training like this has done the trick in the past and I'm hoping it will help ellicit some new growth. Based on how today went, I'm sure it will. The pump in my chest was crazy at the end of the workout.

        Green Mag Thoughts:
        Green Mag still gave me a nice boost despite the change in workout strategy. Since I have slowed everything down, each rep is a test of both muscular strength and endurance. It really is grueling to do the workout this way. Taking your time and slowly lowering and raising the weight definitely brings a strong burn to the table. I was really happy with the way the workout went and will stick with it for a few weeks to see if it can get my chest growing once again.

              Workout Thoughts:
              Great workout today. My lats once again were extremly pumped and fully worked. Today, I made sure that I went all the way down to a complete hang on each pullup. In the past, I didnt go all the way down because I thought it might be better to keep constant tension on my lats. However, I definitely wasnt getting the same ROM as I do when I go all the way. Plus, when I do go all the way down, it isnt as if I am hanging for awhile and resting my lats. What are your guys opinions? Do you guys think its better to keep constant tension or go all the way down. My thoughts are that I focus on a full ROM on everything else, so why would it be different for pullups. I dont avoid going all the way down to my chest on bench just to keep constant tension, so IMO, I shouldnt sacrifice ROM for tension on pullups. Anyways, you might notice I did hypers today instead of deads. I just want to keep the lower back protected. Hopefully I can start up deads again next week.

              *awsome workout with crazy lat pumps.

              Green Mag Thoughts:
              Once again, the pump in my lats were ridiculous and I actually started to get a feeling of sickness during my workout today, which is something that normally only happens during my leg days. I think this was a combination of two things. One, the intensity of my workout was very high today as I really fought out some hard pullups with full ROM. Second, my preworkout meal was closer to my workout then usual because I slept in a little. Either way, it was still a great workout. Just a little update on this log, next week I will be heading back to school, and as a result will be back in the university gym. I am actually looking forward to it because our gym is excellent. However, some of my numbers are obviously going to change as a result of different equipment. I will probably use the first week at the university gym as a baseline and then set those as my new PR levels.

                    Really good shoulder workout today. I tried something new to start out my shoulder workout with the power presses. I saw them on the getting cut with glass shoulder training and thought I would give them a shot. The only thing I did differently is brought the weight down extremly slow to really generate a strong burn. Here is a link to the Getting Cut with Glass episode. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/glasscut1.htm. He shows the power presses a little bit after 7 minutes 30 second in. The rest of the workout was really good as well. I set new PRs on barbell upright rows and had some awsome delt pumps. Really good workout.

                    Green Mag Thoughts:
                    Everything is still going solid. My strength was great and I had a tremendous pump in my shoulders. I did notice a little bit of elbow soreness after my workout, which is sort of disappointing considering that I havnt had any since starting up glucosamine. Hopefully it is just a one day thing, but this obviously has nothing to do with Mag. Everything on the Green Mag front is still exactly what I want.

                    • Nice workout. I also like your split, do you do traps on back day or shoulder day?

                          Workout Thoughts:
                          Today was both a great and a terrible trip to the gym. First the good. My workout was amazing. Felt very strong on everything and intensity was through the roof. I set a new PR on Smith Hack Squats and also concentrated on getting a full and complete ROM on every rep. I occasionally shorten up a few of my last reps with heavier weights, but today I made sure that I got full reps until the end. The usual calf equipment that I use was being serviced, so I couldnt use them. I found a couple other stations that worked very well though, so I still got some great calf work in. Now for the bad part. When getting plates for my leg presses, a 45lb plate fell from the plate hanger thing on the bench press and directly onto my big toe. It hurt at the time, but I wasnt about to stop my workout for it. I think my endorphins were going strong because it really didnt hurt that bad during my workout, although I could definitely feel it swelling in my shoe. However, once the workout was done, the pain started catching up to me. Right now I am sitting with a bag of ice on my toe and it sucks. The toe is pretty swollen and bruised. It's possibly broken, which is something that I have done to my toes numerous times. O well, at least the workout was good .

                          Green Mag Thoughts:
                          Strength was excellent today, as its been for the duration of this log. Even with the toe injury, I still set a PR and felt great on all my lifts. The toe didnt honestly hurt me too much during my workout. I was just so locked in on getting through my reps that I didnt notice it. Im also loving my Green Mag slushies in the mornings that I actually have time to make them, which was the case this morning. Its hard to believe I can get my creatine when I'm eating/drinking something that tastes like a dessert.

                            I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible for me to have a bad arm workout during this log. I cannot remember the last time I left the gym after an arm day and didnt feel like I had an excellent workout. Today was not exception. I had a ridiculous pump in my arms and my MMC was incredible. I felt incredible when the workout was done and my arms were huge. I really wish I had a tape measure so I could have figured out how big they pumped up to. After crushing arms, I had an excellent ab workout, one of the better ones I have had in awhile

                            Green Mag Thoughts:
                            For some reason, Green Mag seems to be treating me the best on arm days. Thats not to say its not performing for other bodyparts, but there has just been something special about my arm days since I started this log. I love it, because lets be honest, who doesnt love a great arm workout. As far as my toe, it still hurts pretty bad and is definitely swollen, but if I tape it up, it doenst hurt TOO bad. This weeks measurements will be posted shortly.

                              Measurement Thoughts:
                              Really happy to be gaining again. That shows me that last week was just because of all the extra cardio I had done. Glad to see some more growth in my arms, which is obviously welcomed. Since I am starting school this Monday, I think I will add some extra calories to make up for the extra walking around campus.

                              • Day 64



                                Saturday Rest Day

                                I have decided that Green Mag slushies are a great way to kick off the day. It seriously is like a dessert for me. Even when I used to eat junk food and had things like slushies, I dont remember any flavors tasting as good as the Electric Lemonade Hulk Slushy. As far as today's plans, it should be a pretty easy day. I just want to try and enjoy the last few days I have before school starts on Monday .
