What T-Booster did you get?

I would order TRIBEX from this site, but I have heard of cases of it not making it across the boarder so I just went with TestoFX instead.[/quote]

Damn customs! I remember I sold some Star Wars shit on ebay a few years ago and the lady that bought them was in Canada. It was going to be a big box, so she asked that I write “TOY” on the box in a few places so that customs wouldn’t hold the package up or open it.

Sorry, I got off track there. I like TRIBEX a lot, but that TestoFX stuff looks interesting. I see it has Vitex and a few other goodies in there. It will be interesting to see how you respond to it.

Don’t worry Vader, you can talk about Star Wars as much as you like in my log, I don’t mind :stuck_out_tongue:
I’m mega psyched for all 6 movies to come out on Blu-Ray. We’ll have a race to see who gets them first!

And the same is true for my log. Feel free anytime to stop by and be amazed with my immense Star Wars knowledge. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m anxiously awaiting Blu-Ray, but they are taking their sweet ass time even announcing when they plan on doing it. I just hope this means there will be more goodies and they put some of those ‘hidden’ deleted scenes I’ve been hearing about for years.

Well, from what I heard it should be comming out JUST in time for Christmas, or right after new years.

But you know how rumours are… so full of hope, yet never true.

My lack of sleep is really catching up with me. My lifts are shit, especially my squats. With only 10 hours of sleep in the last 3 days, I’m running out of gas. Hopefully I can start sleeping properly again tonight.

Trish Stratus was awesome!

Kind of sick, pretty out of it. But I managed. Finally got some sleep last night, but I was up every two hours. At least I got about 8ish hours total. Not as tired, but the fact I’m kinda sick made up for that. Haha

Ugh, I just didn’t have it. I think with the lack of sleep and the being sick just took all my energy away. Alas, I have the next two days off and I’m gonna recoup, eat my face off and get ready to start again on monday, along with my new job.

Yo yo. What gym are you training at these days? I’m back in Brampton on the 14th.

Nice deads and squats…even for a tall guy haha. Are these grinders for you, or are they coming up fast?

impressive squat for a big guy like yourself. keep it up!

Brampton?
Dude I’m way out in Thornhill. However, next week I’m gonna train with ScubaSteve (if you remember him)

Also, Clive said that you, himself, me and Dave are supposed to go for sushi.
And what do you mean by grinders?

This is news to me, but any time sushi is involved I’m game.
Grinders = shit your pants trying to move the weight up at a rate of 0.0000000001 cm/s.

Ah, sorry. It was late. The squats are good up untill rep 4ish, after that I might need a bit of assistance but not too much. The deadlifts are harder for me, I can’t seem to get any number of reps yet.
I’m hoping next week when I’m feeling better I can hit it up like I normally do.

If you’ve been following, you will have noticed I’m doing less weight with the squats. My friend noticed that after the 2nd or 3rd rep I wasn’t going as low as I should have with the 405lbs. So I’m sticking to 315lbs right now, making sure to go a lot lower than I normally was.

Sometimes I get carried away with adding weight, and I don’t do the full movement, usually with squats more than anything.

As for the T-Booster I’m using, on Wednesday I will be 3 weeks in. I’m starting to notice an increased intensity, not to mention I’m the horniest person on earth right now, not that it’s a bad thing.
