5 boiled eggs
butter

5 fishoil
multi

2.5g Selegiline

15.00 MEAL 2
chilli concarne
cheese

5 fish oil

**Happy enough mood, feeling more focuses than i usually would be after a shit nights sleep. have been un productive. just facebook and computer games. squating soon thou Want a good form, deep 5x5 at 130-140kg. **

16.00 MEAL 3
whey/casein shake
5g bcaa
5g cee
1.5g beta analine

Pullups 3x3

Squats
20kg x8
70kg x5
90kg x3
110kg x3
130kg 2x5
130kg x6 - hips shot up on 3rd repa nd had to get a small spot. i wanted 5 good ones.
130kg x5
135kg x5
ALL DEEP AND GOOD TECHNIQUE APART FROM 1

Front Squats
70kg x5
80kg x5
90kg 2x5
90kg x3 - slipped and fell on 4th rep. was raging, this felt like the easiest and fastest set. still got a few technique issues to iron out. Im getting used to the clean grip.

Power cleans
80kg x5
90kg 3x5 - P fucking B
100kg x1 - missed the second rep
90kg x3 - focusing on narrower stance and then spreading to catch.

Calf Press
195kg 3x15 - some isometric holds on 2nd set.

*Probably the best session of this year. Felt like a raging animal. A mixture of things are responsible for this i think.

these are the best thing i have ever owned. highly recommend getting a pair. first time squating and cleaning in them. and they were perfect. so fucking loud and amazing sound quality. a steal at 50 quid.

I also got 2 ok nights sleep in a row, and i had 3 days off from the gym. Cant really comment on the deprenyl having any effect on the session. but i am definatly more focused than i usually would be after a squat session, just generally more awake, alert and less brain fog/tiredness. I could easily do some uni work or whatever now.

The link in your last post doesn’t work. I think it’s because it’s not posted as a hyperlink. Thus, the … in between the 2 and ? doesn’t expand, since you can’t click on it.

Heres a photo.

there called Sony NWZ-W202 W Series 2GB Wearable

basically a mp3 player built into headphones. loud, great quality, great bass.

lightweight, takes 3 mins to charge for 90mins. so i basically out its on its charger, and take a dump before i go train and im sorted. it stays put for squats and cleans. so i assume its good for everything. i got mine for 50 quid. best 50 quid i ever spent.

Scott

Thanks, man that looks like a sweet device. I currently use an iPod and the headphones always get in the way. I may have to pick up this MP3 player.

On another note, have you looked through Shugart’s Hammer? When I was working on dropping fat his articles really helped keep me on track.

I’d definitely check them out if you haven’t already.

08.30 Wake up

Awful nights sleep. probably got to sleep about 2/3am and woke up at 5 to piss, woke up at 6am again and tossed and turned till 8.30. I dont know if this is down to the drugs or simply because i was really nervous about a job interview today. my body was really tired after a good weights and cv session. i also hadnt eaten any carbs or caffeine near bed time. hope my sleep improves :S

Went better than i thought it would and I think im in with a definite shout. I hear tomorrow. The job gets me close to 5 grand for the summer, a free flat near the gym and therefore a pretty stressfree summer with lots of training. then the cash should mean i wont have to work next year. which in my mind equals me getting better grades and better rest.

You’re taking Selegiline as a nootropic?

Really? Is that a common “underground” usage for the drug? I’m not extremely familiar with it, but isn’t that used to treat Parkinson’s?

Your correct in it usage for parkinsons.

A mate from these boards has set up a new website for nooptropics and im takeing part in a 6 week trial of Selegiline (Deprenyl).

www.enhanced-minds.com you will find my log and some interesting articles written by bushy on here.

info on deprenyl:
http://www.smart-drugs.net/ias-deprenylJS.htm
http://www.erowid.org/smarts/selegiline/selegiline_basics.shtml

i have noticed an increase in focus and less “brain fog”. I get into the main chunk of my revision etc next week, so we will see how it goes then.

Cals: 2373 - 200 too low. :S

Carbs: 21.3
Protein: 308.1
Fat: 117.9

Apart from the cals being too low i thi9nk today was good on the macro front. Loads of protein, nuder 30g of carbs. and only 5g of carbs after 21.00. All good points. After work my legs feel not bad. dont know if its the increased BCAA’s or just luck. But if there ok tomorrow im gonna go into the gym and do some HIIT (30 on 30 off on the rower) and heavy core work, then Sunday ill do some steady state cardio and lots of foam rolling/stretching.

Will eother post pics tomorrow or sunday probaby tomorrow. I think posting pics each week keeps me more motivated and focused. I know i mightnt see much difference week to week, but the fact i mightnt see ANY difference will drive me on during the week to work harder and eat even harder.

Didnt really have any chance to notice the noops today. I think im in a pretty good mood, even know it is raining and windy in glasgow all day and ive had to work in it. So they might be working in that regard.

293

12.30 Wake up

As far as i can remember i slept right thought to 10am and then snoozed untill 12.30. Feeling good and refreshed now so i think it was a good nights sleep.

I honestly cant see it guys…

but i can “feel” it a little if that makes sense. For the first time i can feel my different delts untensed and also where my traps insert around my AC joint/rotator cuff.

Everything else looks and feel the same. and the scales have been creeping up this week. maybe put on 1-2lbs… :S dont know how i should feel about that. good if its muscle? bad if its not i suppose…

Yes, looking much leaner than last week’s pic. I don’t know if you have considered this, but Virgin Coconut Oil is a good cooking oil which has thermogenic properites when digested. I use it whenever I cook my eggs…
\www.advance-health.com/coconut.html

Edit: Also, I would say stay away from the scales except for maybe a couple times per month. That’s just my $.02. Weighing yourself anymore than that is just special psychological torture, what with daily water fluctuation and such. Follow the golden path and check progress a couple times per month, make adjustments as necessary.

Edit: Edit: I just let the mirror tell me from day to day. You’ll notice “Oh shit! I can see more triceps!” or “Man, I really need to eat cleaner, drink more water, etc.” That’s loads more encouraging than a scale. But maybe I just spend too much time in the mirror? lol
