i need to get myself a strap… any recommendation for a cost effective one?
I got the spud straps at Elitefts.com for 12 bucks. Radiation yellow color only though haha.
Check out prowriststraps.com and search for a non custom made set and that’ll only run you about 5-7 bucks before shipping.

2/5/08
horrible day today, got up late this morning and was late for a meeting. so i had to down shakes for breakfast. then i was stuck working in lab for 9 straight hours. i only got in 2 meals during that time period. SIGH. workout was hard because i was EXTREMELY fatigued from work and i didnt consume enough food.
DB Curl
LT: 19 @ 35lb
TT: 16 @ 40lb
good
Pinwheel Curl
LT: 15 @ 45lb
TT: 11 @ 50lb

LT: 1x10 @ 220lb
TT: 1x10 @ 250lb

Stiff Legged Deadlift
LT : 12 @ 235lb
TT: 16 @ 235lb
SO PAINFUL, i was so drained after
[b]Smith Squat[b]
LT: 1x6 @ 265lb, 1x20 @ 225lb
TT: 1x4 @ 275lb, 1x1 @ 285lb, 1x5 @ 225lb, 1x20 @ 135lb (front squat)
so either i have not eaten enough or im drained from the day. i could not do this at all. i should be able to rep 285lb easily for a few reps but i died. so i moved to widowmaker and FAILED after 5 reps, lowered it and could not get back up and fell backward. frustrated and running out of time, i jsut did 135lb on front squat. i got the form down. yay! and it was RIDICULOUSLY hard. i ran outta breathe at rep 11, at rep 15 i was already gone, my head was hurting so badly, and i collapsed after rep 20.
sigh bad day
todays whacked out meals
meal 1
whey/musclemilk ~70g
meal 2
carne asada burrito ~40g

meal 7
proten shake ~40g
~360g total
i guess protein count isnt too bad but my food choices were whacked. my tuesdays are the worst…
shffl it looks like you are going to have to venture in the world of carrying around a cooler with your meals in it. As awesome as Taco Bell is for crapping your pants, it’s not the most efficient bodybuilding food. Use your off days to cook up 2-3 days worth of meals and seal them up. Your protein, vegetables, carbs, oils, all of them should get carried with you all day. 3 solid meals and one shaker bottle with the powder already portioned out should do fine in just about any situation.
Your session looked good until your squats when your diet caught up to you, that needs to change. A lot of guys do stiff leg deads after their quad exercise to save the lower back, that’s something to think about.
