    not sure why it wont let me edit posts, but i did have a cheat meal for dinner instead of eating at home..

    a quesadilla explosion salad at chilis, w/out the quesadillas. the salad itself isn't that bad, but the dressing was probably full of garbage. oh well! no drinks on a friday night tho.

    i might just take a long walk today or something easy. my ass, quads, and hamstrings are sore as hell. leg day > me.

      Concerning grip strength... do you have one of those grippers? They're only a few dollars and work pretty well.

      I don't use straps either, chalk is cool if you have it. But your grip will grow stronger naturally. Keep up the great work!

        i actually do have a set of those grippers, i should start using them.

        workout:
        just cardio today. 20 min on the eliptical w/hills, 15 min jogging (just over a mile) plus cool down.

        i havent done steady state cardio in forever, it felt nice. im considering adding it in the evenings 3-4 times a week and continuing my morning intervals

        food:
        am reduction
        plain oatmeal packet w/ 1 tsp honey
        1/2 scoop gm
        1 boca patty w/4 egg whites, hot sauce on top
        5oz grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup brown jasmine rice, a lil salt free mrs dash marinade
        1/2 cup cottage cheese w/ 1/2 scoop ON rocky road whey, unsalted almonds
        5 oz grilled chicken, salad, sprinkle of unsalted sunflower seeds, 2 tbsp organic asian dressing
        3/4 scoop ON in h20
        PM reduction

        its been a week and a half, i dont think im feeling the reduction at all. at first i felt energized throughout the day, but i think my body has become resistant. i also can't tell if GM is working either. my strength gains are coming at the same rate as they did before i started taking it. im going to continue using both products until they run out and see how it goes.

        if anyone has any input on my diet or workout regimen please let me know. if im lacking somewhere i'd like to figure it out while i still have this stuff around.

          its funny today was the first time where i feel like GM is working. my bench got better, and i got a strange pump that i've never experienced before on dips. my muslces felt tingly on my last 2 reps and they are swolen looking. ive also noticed my arms looking more vascular after todays lifting session. my triceps feel very tight right now. i've only had this feeling in my forearms before from excessive gripping on chinups and deadlifts.

          workout:
          bench, 85 lbs, 4x4
          weighted dips, 20 lbs, 3x8
          incline db bench, 30s, 3x7

          later in the day: jogging 5mph, 20 min

          food:
          am reduction
          whole grain english muffin w/natty pb
          1/2 scoop gm
          pwo shake
          5 oz grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup brown jasmine rice
          cheat meal... went to moe's. i hard shell taco with steak, black beans, guacamole, onions, pico de gallo, lettuce. lil bit of chips and salsa.
          1 scoop ON casein
          pm reduction

                it won't let me edit, but i did 30 min of cardio last night. jogging + eliptical.

                workout:
                pushpress, 60 lbs, 5x5
                cleans, 60 lbs, 3x6
                overhead DB press, 25s, 3x7

                food:
                AM reduction
                1 packet of plain oatmeal, 1 tsp honey
                pwo shake, 1 scoop mint choc whey, dextrose, h20
                1/2 scoop gm
                whole grain english muffin w/natty pb
                unsalted almonds (just under an oz)
                5 oz chicken breast, 1/2 cup brown jasmine rice
                1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese mixed w/ 1/2 scoop mint choc chip ON whey

                shoulders felt good today, my traps are already a tad bit sore from cleans. i've weighed in at 114.5 for the past 2 days consecutively. ive been drinking a lot more water in the evenings too. im not doing any cardio tonight, last night my lower back got too sore to continue jogging, most likely from heavy deadlifting.

                  Are you drinking the ON mint choco? how's it taste? I'm drinking the mocha cap and it's pretty good. Much better than the chocolate.

                    eh, its alright. unless you're all about mint, don't bother with it. i like strawberry, vanilla ice cream, and rocky road. mocha sounds nice too!

                    anybody try the egg nog? it sounds like it could be awesome or horrific.

                      workout:
                      22 min jogging 4.5-6 on treadmill.

                      1/2 scoop gm (split before and after jogging)
                      whole grain english muffin, natty pb
                      just under an oz of almonds, unsalted
                      5oz lean beef, 1/3 cup frozen green beans, 1/2 cup brown jasmine rice

                      suprisingly not too sore from cleans. weighed 114.5 for 3 consecutive days so its save to say i've lost 1/2 lb. bf% is down to 19% as of this morning. slow and steady, i guess thats how it is the longer you're trying to drop fat.

                          yeah its decent. high protein, high fiber. tastes OK. the really good tasting ones have a lot of sugar, which is unfortunate. they're AMAZING. the go-lean crunch stuff.... mmm.
