don’t hate on the online dating services. my younger brother is an air force pilot down in Philly and he swears by eharmony or one of those things. he usually scored a hookup or two a week, and he’s picky.

Lol… yes. I will be drinking tomorrow. Although I swear, I’m going to keep it under control this time.

Interesting. Yeah, I’m super picky, too. Good to know, though, hopefully one/all of these shake down nicely.

Lol… I just felt healthy and strong, man. Felt like I needed to lift something “heavy.” And I think it was just a mood fluctuation from the drugs mah man, as I felt like a God all day today. Fucking drugs.
Last night I had a little bender with some almonds and cheese. I fucking really needed it. I mean, I ate a lot, too. Scale weight was still down some this morning, despite being a bloated and gassy mess all day, lolz.
So, I was going to do legs today but while doing some foam rolling before hand, I figured it’d be very stupid to do so. I’ll be getting out of work at 10 am tomorrow (haha!) so I’ll hit 'em then.
Good heavens.
As I think I mentioned, I got out at 10 am today. Went and trained legs with only 2 scoops Chain’d Reaction (the carb, w/e it is) + 2 scoops HumaPro.
Having an EPIC carb-up today because of a big hike tomorrow.
Legs went fairly well, considering how fucking sore my LB was from DLs the other day. Also, forgot my log book. W/e

Then… at long last, my favorite part… 30 goddamn shitty terrible heinous minutes of stair climbing.
Eating like 100 g brown rice + big protein shake right now PWO. Going to wait a few hours, get medicated, and order a pizza. Life is good today, I suppose.
Yesterday I ate…
So, yeah, I got some carbs. I think I was like 215-217 this morning… lol. So much shit sitting in my tummy. I’m sure/hopefully I’ll be back down to 209 around mid-week at the latest, maybe late week. Either way, I sort of don’t really regret the epic binge. It was good for me mentally and will probably be the last one I’ll need before finishing this fucker out.
Went on a hike today. It didn’t go so well this week. 2 hour drive for very little hiking. What we did was fairly intense/snowy, but eventually I started sinking about waist-deep into certain snowy areas and only had shorts on. So… it didn’t quite work out. Plus conditions got INSANE eventually and we had to GTFO before it got crazy.
So, fuck it, I’m hitting front/medial delts and chest today. And cardio… hard. lolz

Then I did a mind-numbingly stupid 35 minutes of stair climbing, not brutally intense but still very tiring.
There’s a chance I’m going out dancing tonight. If so I’m going to have a few drinks but stay under control, just work on dancing and burning calories… lol.
Sigh, I hope I dropped a few lbs by tomorrow morning.
Didn’t go out last night, or this weekend at all. Financials are kind of playing a role with that. Plus I’d like to take at least one, if not more, of those girls out this week at some point.
Well hell, I’ve felt healthy and good lately so I figured I’d work out again today. Arms, let’s get it.
I’ve got to say, today’s session was money as fuck. Great pumps, great MMC. Weights weren’t out of the world but I felt TERRIFIC.

Hmmm, I actually used a shit load of DC principles when I first started lifting and eating accordingly a few years back. I really did see some great gains despite not really knowing what kind of exercises did / didn’t work for my body, so after I get lean, can start eating like a man again and start adding in a few other variables here and there I think it’ll be a great idea. Plus, as long as my partner can stay on track with not skipping workouts he should be legit enough to get this done. IDK how he’ll fare but… I’m really trying to get him there, lol.
Meant to do rack pulls today, but gee golly there’s no longer a rack at the gym that has support at mid-shin level. Armbrust fails me for the first time.

END / Got some wicked mid-neck pain, so not going to push it since it’s been an issue in the past
Did 30 minutes of good, solid stair climbing today. I had a slightly more intense version of my lunchtime walk so I didn’t do the 5-10 extra minutes. It was not fun, regardless.

Yeah, I really like DC rest-pause style lifting, but I feel I’m just not advanced enough to utilize a lot of the stuff, or at least that’s how I perceive Dante’s writings. I think you’ll really benefit from it, because you’ll have 3 days of lifting, so having 4 other days in the week for cardio seems to be perfect for you.

Man, I wouldn’t think of it like that. Just think of when the circumstances fall into place correctly so you’ll reap the best benefits. You know as well as anyone it’s no magic goblet, but for those who buy into it, bust their ass and put in all the extra work they seem to get good results. I’m getting lucky in the fact that I’m nearing the end of a diet, will hopefully have a great rebound and will be utilizing other things that will give me advantages as well. And yeah, I’ll definitely keep doing cardio many days, but I don’t plan on ever getting out of shape again. 
Today was… odd. I had relations with someone who had RELATIONS with someone else… to a serious capacity. I didn’t know until afterward. I thought I was going to feel worse about it but ultimately it’s just another lesson that (hoes gon’ be hoes so I couldn’t blame Tammy.)
Did cardio afterwards for a while at Armbrust, it was good, quick, and dirty. (Heyo!)
Good stuff man, your looking great for 217 ish!!
i remember you mentioned skip loading the last time i dieted, is that what your doin this time around? if youve posted about it i missed it, i saw the cheat day though, looked awesome i got to get some doughnuts lol

Haha, thanks man. I’m actually back down to 212, hopefully to 209 by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest… that’s where I was at before the massive shitload, lol.
Yeah, I’m not doing skiploading this go around. I have this issue of not being able to stop eating shitty foods after I do so, so I’m really needing to go 3-4 weeks or so these days before I allow myself to eat some bad food. I’m just dive-bombing the diet, hitting cardio fairly intensely and keeping and eye on how my body is reacting, haha.

Then, fucking fucky fuck 35 minutes of asshole dickhead stair climbing. God it was fucking cuntishly miserable. My legs were sore, it was hard to go hard and blah.
I was shaking by the time I ate dinner today. Finally feeling real again now that I’m typing this. For the record, here’s a little sample of my daily diet at this point… Keep in mind, as Bug said, a thermogenic that rhymes with dren and something that sounds a lot like melatonin will be introduced soon, as well as one other gray area item when I can afford it.
But here it is, as is currently:
6:40am - 2 scoops HumaPro
7:00am - 60g protein shake / 1 oz almonds / fish oil / multi / fiber
11:35am - 12:15ish - Semi-fasted hill walking
12:15-12:20ish - 2 scoops HumaPro
12:40pm - 6-8 oz chicken breast OR lean ground turkey OR 60g protein shake / 1 banana
5:30pm - 2 scoops HumaPro (on way to gym)
LIFTING - Some BCAA during
7:00-7:30-8:00pm - Post lifting - 86 g brown rice / 6-7 lean ground turkey / sometimes some greens or almonds or a banana as well
So, yeah, not a whole lot but I have some calories to move around if need be in the next couple weeks. We’ll see how well my body reacts to things.
Hmm.

I’m currently in a terrible mood. Bullshit roommate drama. Completely avoiding so I can take the high road. Could get ugly if I didn’t.
EDIT
It got ugly. I had an emotional breakdown. I don’t know what I’m doing with my life right now.
Don’t act on anything right now bro. You need time to cool off and think.

Wise words, friend I did, and it definitely paid off. Things are smooth now, but blah. I have a lot of shit to work on.
Today I killed it killed it. Ate a large pizza + Ben and Jerry’s last night, only got up to 211 or so.
Went to Armbrust off 2 scoops HP + 2 scoops Chain’d Reaction (carbzzzz.) Had a wonderful day, and decided to get funky with it because I’ve felt my back training has been rather stagnant lately.

Going on a big hike today by myself and dog today, too. So pace-wise, we’ll be killing it. Pumped!
ayayaaaa were flames shooting out your armpits after the drop set of pulldowns?
eyes jelly of 140 db’s.
how much did you wanna just lie down after? I told my buddy that after today’s deadlift sesh and he looked at me like “there’s no lying down after lifting heavy shit”

Haha, man, those pulldowns were fairly fucking gnarly, I cannot tell a lie. Incidentally, my lats themselves aren’t particularly sore today. Boo!
Meh, you’re barely doing less than me on the shrugs bronameth, don’t even be jells. You’ll probably be doing more than me on those in like a week or two… fml. I’m not too big on laying down most of the time. If I’m super out of breath after doing something nuts I normally just lean onto something and gasp for air, haha.
So, I ate like a fat fuck AGAIN last night and my scale said I was 216 this morning. I do have to stop doing that shit but w/e, it tasted really good and I was just blown the fuck out. If I’m not drinking I might as well get portly… lol.
However, today I have legs, I’m going to do <1 hour of cardio afterwards, and then go for ANOTHER epic hike later, because fuck it, and why not?
Also… I may or may not have 20 mcg and 40 mcg packets of NOT Clen here, as well as a vial of NOT MTII… although I don’t have any syringes/Bac water yet, but did just order those today. So now I can really buckle down, finish this fucker out, and get lean, jacked, and tan please! Well, maybe not necessarily jacked yet. 
Workout was brutal. Fuck.

I’m going hiking today… but, man, I’m not too happy about it.
Felt great today. Lost 6-7 lbs of bodyweight because I pooped 9 FULL poops before 1:30 pm. My fucking stomach hurt so bad.
Also, did NOT take 60 mcgs of something that rhymes with “Cren” and tweaked my nuts off. It was fun! lol
Anyway, yeah, even ran at lunch some today, it was alright despite my sore goddamn legs. I am waking up early tomorrow (4) so I can get to Armbrust at 5 am when they open for cardio. FML, seriously. But fuck it man, it will work.

Definitely taking tomorrow off from lifting. Pretty sure it’s been 1-1.5+ weeks of lifting straight. Will still do am/lunch/post-work cardio.
Lol. Life.
Got into a car crash today. Some dickhead ran a red right-hand turn when myself and a car in front of me had a green arrow. She had to brake abruptly to not get t-boned, I smashed into her backside (hey-o!) My fucking car got fucked up, hers got a cute scratch or two. Fuck. Called the cops, and lucky for us two witnesses had separate accounts of the DUDE being at fault (was in a work car, didn’t stop after accident, on cell phone, etc.,) so that was cool. One even got the license plate on a picture. Awesome!
What’s really funny is the girl I hit was fairly cute… 23. Said she was moving to Salt Lake City next weekend. Body language was there, and I incidentally got her name and number, lol. I’m going to hit her up this weekend and see if she’s down to… just… get down.
Um, so, my legs have been ACHING to a fair degree after doing this 2+ hours of cardio thing right now. It’s okay though, I’m stemming my ass off. Syringes may/may not have come, along with possibly BAC water. I could/could not be getting tan soon!
This morning at 5 am I did stair climber for about 50 minutes. Pretty low-intensity, could keep a hoodie and sweatpants on, although some sweat.
