if you’re taking 3 caps a night, you’re getting enough!
silly bastard. you said zinc. not ZMA.
I’ve been doing the ‘D,’ word for a couple months now, and my strength hasn’t gone down which is good enough for me!

aaah!
hehe, sorry about that…
Diet is a 4 letter word around these parts! 
i’m quite happy with today’s performance since i only had 1400 calories and 30 grams carbs yesterday.
now i feel like i’ve been hit by a truck.
today’s workout:
back squat: 80 x 8; 115 x 6; 145 x 3; 155 x 3; 160 x 6
back squat: 80 x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
rdl: 175 x 13, 13, 13
52 mins----avg hr 128----345 cals burned
Wow that is a lot of squats! I’ve not done Romanian deadlifts. How do you like them compared to regular deadlifts?
high rep rdl - yuck! much props

I’d have eaten my shoes by now. well, all of the right ones.
i will very soon feel your pain–i’m starting my own cut today, six weeks of nearly carbless (well, about 30 a day) bliss await me…i am ecstatic.
I love RDLs. Never done them that heavy or that many, though. You are a machine!

they are one of the few things i can do at home that really nail the hammies. i actually really like rdl’s. of course not as much as conventional deads… but they serve a different purpose. i do love sticking my booty back. haha

lordy those got my heartrate sky high. they were rough. but that workout did it’s job since i’m sore as a fucker today. and i swear my legs have grown these last two weeks. i’ve obviously been a pussy on leg volume in the past.
although i do a lot of heavy unilateral stuff… they just don’t do me as dirty as high volume squats i guess.
i definitely ate a shitload of carbs pre and post workout yesterday.
today is another low carb day and being at a house with the fridge chock full of panda express is proving my absolute nemesis.

ouch! planning a few repletion days at least???
lazy copy/paste from other journal.
oh man. officially the sorest my legs have ever been. it hurt to roll over in the night. i BARELY made it down the stairs this morning.
i attacked em with a softball…every inch felt like a giant bruise…gotta love the pain.
now that my workout is over they’re feeling pretty loose.
workout:
bp: 55 x 5; 65 x 5; 75 x 2; 105 x 3; 110 x 3; 120 x 5 (no spotter)
bp: 70 x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
pendlay row bb: 85 x 10; 95 x 10; 100 x 10
hang clean bb: 80 x 10; 10
went with the high rep heavy hang cleans to get some conditioning in and my heart rate up a bit.
i have cramps. ugh. time for football and food and eventually some alcomahol. i’ve been so good all week.
yes football and food! I’m hitting up 5 guys for double bacon with cheese - you should be proud.haha
PS. Those are some solid pendlays 
for cramps and that whole menses thing in general: Evening Primrose Oil.
1 every am and pm, 3 every am and pm starting a few days before that last week.
hang cleans sound like fun.

do i get these in the vitamin section???
thanks for the tips. i’ll give it a go. although i love having an excuse for vodka n vicodin.
i realized i better get some cleaning in if i want to hit that bw pc goal by the year’s end.
I find I get a much easier time with PMS and cramps if I avoid carbs. I don’t eat grains anyway (other than special occassions) but if I stick with low carb, I feel a lot better. I noticed this after getting a complete absence of menstrual symptoms when doing the V-Diet. Now I generally do a more primal diet (meat, fat, veggies - fruit on occassion but not often) and find much the same thing. Helps with cravings too.
